Here Are the Future Classics of the 2010s [Doug DeMuro + Alanis King]

[@AlanisKing]

I love that Doug made the prompt for this video "future classics of the 2010s" and went into the decades BEFORE and AFTER 2010

A biased pick: 2009-2012 Porsche Cayman S (987.2): -new engines (no more IMS) -S trim received direct injection, 321HP from 3.4L NA H6 -first year of the PDK -still hydraulic steering (981 went electric-assisted) -face lift put the fog lights in a proper position -Cayman R trim never got cheap, not worth the extra $20k-$30k -rare, only about 2100 Cayman S's came to the US '09-'12

[@gsczr1]

I worked at GM for 38 years. The reason a manual was not offered in the C8 is because there was no room for the hardware. It was that simple. Anyway, the DCT that comes with the C8 is fantastic. Cheers!!!

[@efword1200]

Now that "New Doug" has been in full swing for a while, I can confidently say that the Doug + Alanis videos are my favorite ones.

[@kevindimauro9689]

Disagree. She is terrible. Keeps interrupting and changing the subject. Doug was talking about the STI and Alanis kept talking about the Z….over and over again. There is zero structure. And the ‘jokes’ are so bloody cringe worthy.

[@mapkob5115]

Only reason I play those is because I can listen to them without looking at the screen while i make breakfast. Absolute cringe. Knowing the names of Porsche colors and used Cygnet prices is not car knowledge.

i like alanis but the criticism is legit. they need to interrupt less and not talk over each other

[@michaelsciortino7112]

I so so so agree on the nsx and lc. I’ve been looking at them for a while because of this! I can confidently say that the c8 corvette will be beyond a classic in the future because it was such a revolution

Just like the C6, the C7 will gain some value due to it being the last Corvette with a manual gearbox and its styling differences before the C8.

[@andycress]

I'm not sure which is more egregious: Doug's 2010s list being 2000s-2023, or Alanis going BACK to the IHOP multiple times. Though, to be fair, both are pretty on-brand moves for each.

[@shmike1]

The newest Alpine A110 will be a future classic, very unique front, mid engine rear wheel drive, sucks that it is not available in the states though...

[@ARPLATINUM]

Don't forget, Doug, my buddy has a 2017 SS in nightfall gray with 5k miles if you need to review one lol. Thanks for replying to my email a year ago. If he sells I'll send him to C&B.

Oh he reviewed one already. Five years ago. He called it a total failure, and now thinks it to be a future classic.

[@MuitoDaora]

Alpine A110 will be one for sure

[@samuelhoward8504]

Track days should be promoted more so we can save the manual. If I didn’t have the intention to take a car to the track then I’d go for an auto too. I feel like less people over time have done track days so there isn’t that push to have something that’s more fun on track. The other side of it is most old guys that can afford these cars just want to be able to say that they have the fastest version of whatever car, even though they’ll never put the car through its paces, they’ll be able to say their auto car has the most potential but they’ll never have to prove it. So many new cars practically drive themselves, when the cars have a manual, the potential is put into the hands of the driver.

[@AbdulazizGhamri]

Doug is the type of guy to spot his own Carrera GT

Vipers and G wagons are my choices. The 458 is a no brainer. Something a little more daring? C4 Coupé? I know they're pretty rare quirky cars that didn't get to the states.

I think it would also be a great time to buy an LFA if you can get your hands on one.

[@cp-the-nerd]

They're trying very hard not to directly insult the "stance" brigade when talking about car models lost to "modding" because we all know those MFers absolutely destroy cars and those are mostly imports. Also, I own a Chevy SS manual and you can pry the keys from my cold dead fingers. Bought new, put 40,000 miles on it and I love driving it. Lastly, how DARE you leave out the CTS-V Sportwagon?

[@LawrenceMarkFearon]

The era through the 2010's meant articulate hydraulic steering, jewel like mechanical gauges, instinctive mechanical shifters, no auto start/stop, V8's, V10's and V12's in abundance. There were even glass roof convertibles and of course fog lights and spare tires. We'll be wishing for these cars soon.

[@EricZAchille]

Well said sir.

[@blue-tb2fd]

Curious why fog lights make the list? As blinding as most modern LED headlights are when they're going the other way I bet most modern cars have enough focused light output that traditional fog lights aren't as necessary as they once were

[@LawrenceMarkFearon]

@@blue-tb2fd Fog lights do what higher mounted headlights can't. They get under the fog, rain and snow to illuminate the lines on the road. Otherwise higher mounted headlight beams just bounce off the precipitation into a driver's face. No matter how sophisticated LED technology can be, it can't replace low mounted fog lights. Take the 2023 VW GTI for instance. Very sophisticated GTI matrix adaptive LED headlights still include LED fog lights and the overall effect is stunning inclement weather capability. Unfortunately it's the only German car with fog lights in 2023. Asian cars more commonly include them. Tesla's wisely included both LED headlights and LED fog lights on all models. But the most vehicles sold omit them after many decades of including them standard.

You mean a worse version of a db9

[@Kryptic1046]

@@bradenmchenry995 - No, I don't. Both were designed by the same guy, and to say which is "worse" is largely subjective. Both cars have certain advantages over the other - the XKR-S is faster and rarer while also being much easier to maintain because it shares many of its parts with the base XK, meanwhile just about *everything* you do to an Aston Martin is prohibitively expensive. Aston Martin may be the more desirable marque, but to say one is "worse" than the other is false when looking at the stat sheet. They are both very close in performance and style.

[@29.97df]

[@Just_Drivers_Cars]

Agreed!

[@bryanhersman4037]

I think the Hellcats will fit this line. Take a popular car, make an edition that costs 3 times the base but ends up close to the quickest cars made for the year. Then many get destroyed. Lots of kids lusted after them but couldnt get one. Suddenly they are 50 and now want one and need to find a clean one. Similar to the STI but the difference between even a base Imprenza and an STI isn't as much as a rental Charger and a Hellcat.

[@toddknight6855]

My take on the C7: It is far more important than anyone will give it credit for. It was the launching pad that stylistically bridged the gap to the C8. If you go straight from the C6 to the 8, people would have lost their minds even more. Remember how purists were getting pitchforks over the C7 not having oval/rounded taillights? Multiply that by 100 if you threw that on top of all the other C8 changes without the C7. The C7 offered a buffer stylistically, and finally made people start thinking the Corvette could stand alongside Euro exotics. Maybe not surpass them, but you put that beside a Ferrari California and it is going to get just as many looks. In a way I think the C2 did the same, asserting the vette as a true sportscar. The C7 helped break the vette free of restrictions so the C8 could thrive. Also the C6 is the worst looking vette, Alanis.

[@Incrazyboyy]

Good take with the style bridge! The reception of the C8 could have been really bad without the C7. Thinking about it, I feel like the C7 looks like a C6 with angles. Also, both cars look fantastic imo

[@Nickoboss29]

The C6 isn't bad looking at all

[@adamac520]

[@BLWADiecast]

In my opinion, all cars will one day become classic cars, but only some will be desirable classic cars. For instance, there will be people who get “classic” 2018 Camry’s one day, but something like a 2018 Camaro will always be more desirable.

5:27 I drive the Opel equivalent to this Saturn, the Opel Astra H caravan, and it's known to be extremely reliable.

[@John_Q_Public]

Funny how you bashed it, raked it over the coals, and called it a "total failure", and then a few years later after selling them on your bid site you now think that they should be future classics. It has been called one of the finest performance sedans ever produced, and compared to and even surpassed in some reviews and opinions the venerable and infamous E39 M5. You say nobody bought it, even though every single SS produced and imported from Australia was sold, with no marketing, no commercials, only 2 and then 3 options, gas guzzler tax, poor fuel mileage and "so so" looks. The SS was no failure Mr. DeMuro, but your first video on it five years ago certainly was. I will add that video, titled "Here's why the Chevy SS was a total failure" to the always expanding list of things that didn't age well. Good to see you finally respect it, even though it took profiting off of it to open your eyes.

Sooner or later this kind of video will become a self-fulfilly prophecy as dougs channel grows and more people buy what he names as collectibles.

I could watch a 2 hour long episode like this. get Kennen in here as well and make it 3 hours long 😊

[@jimb2970]

Surprised no mention of the Jag f type convertible. Regardless of how you feel about interior and auto transmission. The version before the face lift turns heads, and the sound is iconic.

[@LGaro77]

No mention of the Alfa Romeo 4C, thoughts??

[@EOtekk]

The 4c is very similar to the Lotus Elise in the sense that the value won't necessarily increase, but it will continue to stay the same. It's too obscure of a car. I honestly believe the Giulia QV has a better chance of becoming a classic because it's the only high horsepower super sedan they have ever made.

Surprised - rare, stunning - you would think it would be on this list

Is it really the top gear era? That show really defined this 2006 to 2015s.

The amount of times Doug says something and Alanis just repeats it is off putting, if she can fix that these are great content.

19:15 the C8 Corvette is what the NSX should have been, not mechanically but philosophically. NSX was too complicated and too expensive for what people wanted at the time.

[@jakegackle7398]

I have been told a story that the Chevy SS was sold here in the US because of a weird rule that to sell Holdens in Australia, they had to sell the SS here. No clue if that is true or not, but I found it an interesting story just the same.

[@ricky7973]

I'd argue that the ford fiesta st will be a future classic. Ford canned it, forced 6 speed, turbo, light chassis, lots of after market support and they offer a well rounded package.

[@fortheloveofnoise]

It already costs more than Focus STs used in my area.....you are 100% correct, not even up for debate. I am tempted yo get one when I move to Europe.

[@ricky7973]

@@fortheloveofnoise Hopefully you can get the 3 door version that We never got in the US. Europe also has the ST200 trim package that offers one of the nicest paint jobs ever, unique wheels and some tweaked suspension and drivetrain parts.

[@brandonsever2576]

I want to add the porsche 997.2 and 987.2. Those early 2010s cars have proven to be reliable and well built like the new ones, but retains the simple styling of the previous generations

[@Just_Drivers_Cars]

No Porsches on the list is blasphemy.

[@volvo09]

I love your new guests, and to think people didn't trust ya... Also, I give the most credit for sticking to the rules way more than you did! 😂 Great show

The Z with the black top on the yellow body . . . I had a 1971 240Z with that color scheme (the top was vinyl). Brings back lots of memories.
