I guess it may be a classic someday...the older rotary Mazdas are becoming somewhat classic. I don't like the fact that the newer cars are pretty much taking away the owners ability to fix and tweak a car...instead opting for the 'go directly to the dealership' option when there's an issue. I like to see all the things going on with a car...they're like inanimate objects now with the engine bay all covered up in plastic.
