Well, in my view a "collector's car" is one that goes up for sale at those fancy auctions you see on the speed channel. The STI ain't no collector car folks. It's a $30K car in a highly competitive market segment that historically has done very poorly in terms of sales and longevity. Come to think of it, do you see many Japanese cars that ever become "collector cars"? I think the STI would be a fun car, but hardly some kind of "investment"....
