[Untamed]

With the 4th gens truly being the end of the "f-body" platform, it'll be known as the end of an era. The performace was great, the styling very nice, the interiors comfortable, and the quality adaquate.

From an investors point of view, there are several special editions that will eventually enjoy some attention. But like it's predicessors, the average car (even the SS and WS6) will be used and thrown away except by the diehard few who will keep them as pristine examples. If we look to history, I don't see the trend changing.

What it comes down to is - as time marches on, those collectors / enthusiasts who really like the F-body platform, will have to make a choice about what they invest their money into. Will the 4th gen platforms provide a good return, or do the older vehicles (1st and 2nd gen) create the most demand? There are lots of aftermarket parts companies out there for each of the generations, but time will tell who is still around long enough to support the demand for both enthusiasts and investors.

Ironically what has gotten me interested in the 4th gen birds again is that Temptation poster than one of the members posted recently. Despite the "wide hips" look of the TA, I still love the rear shot of the tail lights and high wing. Very agressive.
