We'll see them. How many people thought that the B would be this memorable
when
it appeared in 1962?

Quite a few of todays cars will be classics - the Miata, the C5 vette, Viper,
XK8 --

Anything that is unusual will probably be memorable - I don't think a 1998
Toyota Tercel would be worth much in 20 years though! =)
