Anyone have any ideas or what most people will think will be the next future classics?

Some from the last generation

Escort / Sierra RS Cosworth
Peugeot 205 GTI

Any cars that will stand out in years to come and retain their value?

Can only be a good thing, very few people turned out to be mad enough to buy one new, cracking looking car and in the future it's only going to go up in value.

Many classic cars have huge issues with them, sometimes it's the oddness which makes them great.
 
The Clio V6 will be simply because its the last car of its kind. Nobody is ever going to drop a V6 in a city car and put it into production again.

If they don't make another for the next generation, the BMW 1M?

I firmly believe the Mk2 Focus RS will be a future classic. Have a look at the Mk1 RS, it gets attention from enthusiasts (mainly because it wasn't far off from the actual rally car - it cost Ford more to manufacture the mk1 RS than to sell IIRC. I think the main differences were lack of 4 wheel drive and slightly different engine).

Clio 172 would have a chance I bet, was a much better car suited to it's frame.

I would say the 182 trophy and ph2 v6 are the only clios with a chance of becoming classics. 172''s are overshadowed by the 182's due to the twin exhausts, i still love my 172 though and dont care if it may be a classic or not
 
I think classics in the future will be a nightmare to keep on the road, cars nowadays are just so complex. I can't imagine that something like the Current BMW M3/M5 will be anything near as easy to keep going when they start hitting 30+ years old as the cars that are today considered classics.
 
cars are like everything these days. If it goes wrong, throw it away and buy another one. Old classic cars were built to last.

I don't think it will be that bad, it's all relative, for example a current classic 944 turbo is lots more complex than an MGB.

Technology changes things move on, diagnostics equipment filters down, the real issue will be when the complex parts stop being made.
