987 will not be a classic because namely of the extra 200-300lb weight gain.
It's faster, more modern but lost some of its lines.
Just like when 360 Modena replaced the F355. F355 in my eyes will always be a classic, regardless of the numerous issues it has - expensive service/repair and likeliness of catching on fire. 5 valve per cylinder is sweet.
That being said, I do very much like the 2009+ 987.2...
