I disagree that it will be the Countryman. I think that it will be the 2005-06 S Hardtops and Cabrios. They are the most reliable of the Gen 1s. And of course the GP1. In Gen 2s, it will be the Coupes and Roadsters, because they are much more rare. One person's opinion. Whether the GP 2 ends up being as cherished as the GP 1, remains to be seen. :-)

I agree, but I'd also like to throw in the MC40s due to the limited production.

I'd agree, the last of the Gen1 will be more desirable, especially the rare limited run packages they offered throughout the years.

Pure87, totally true about the MC40, they are so rare that I forgot about them! Any of the special/limited editions will be sought after.

This Hagertys thing sounds like a paid advert. I mean, come on, Prius' being collectible? Really? Good cars for a specific purpose, but not going to be 'classic'.

I like how they state the Countryman S All4, but show a picture of the base Countryman Non-S.
