There are two big markets. China has already said that there is little future in ICE driven cars. In the US, cars are not a lust after item for younger workers facing uncertain income/career futures.

So where is the market?.

There is no doubt, in terms of new cars anyway, the ICE's day is coming to an end. The only reason the US hasn't really started to clamp down, particularly on the diesel side of the game, is our private and personal hauling requirements. Even with that, the end is near, probably not in my lifetime, but it WILL happen. Then it's Mad Max time...

I do believe there will always be some level of submarket for sports cars, but not at the high dollar most are going for these days. But then, look at the air-cooled market. It's just STUPID!

I was watching Meekam this morning. The $$ figures some of the muscle cars were going for was crazy. The Vette's average was 140-150k. Crazy numbers. Cool thing is, I will get my dads '65 one day! Point is, there are people willing to spend SERIOUS money for these old cars.
