Future collectible cars – 2005 Auto Show – Part 3 of 3

2005 Lexus SC 430The SC 430 is Lexus’ retractable hardtop premium luxury convertible. It is a combination of European and Japan design. The retractable top is nice. Time will tell if this mechanical challenge is reliable. The Lexus lacks that sleek sports car look. Perhaps it is due to the tall and stubby design necessary to make room for the retractable top. |
2005 Honda S2000The Honda two-seat roadster has the size of the small Mazda Miata and the speed of the Porsche Boxster. It’s hard to beat a Honda for reliability and value. Combine that with the sleek good looks of this little convertible and you have a winner. In the same price range as the Mustang, it is worthy of your careful consideration. |

2005 Chevrolet CorvetteFor over fifty years Chevrolet has been the standard in American designed and built sports cars. The all new 2005 C-6 is no exception. The new Vette excels in just about every category. The design looks retro to the C-3 (68 to 82 body style). That’s good! Have you ever seen an ugly Corvette? I have not. I am a little bothered by the looks of the headlights. They give the face of the car a slightly "beady-eyed" if not "cross-eyed" look. |

Corvette has 400 horses and 400 foot pounds of torque and an improved six-speed manual transmission. The new 6.0 litre V8 has a cylinder head design derived from the high performance Z06. Larger tires and wheels (18 inch front/19 inch rear vs 17 front/18 rear) are standard for 2005. |
What about the Prowler? Less than 12k produced. And don’t forget the SSR, less than 25k made.
Sure collectables.
