I doubt you will be able to say the same of a BRZ (excluding tS) 15 years from now. In my opinion it will probably be more akin to the Subaru 2.5RS or Nissan 350z.
Adjusted for inflation to now S2ks were $38-42k+ MSRP (SP1 and SP2)
My 2013 FR-S was $26.5k

It's was a totally different price class of car intended for a different audience. From a durability, feature and value retention perspective this is an important point to keep in mind. Lastly, it's kind of impossible to predict what will be valued 20 years from now. Clean 86's could be worth nothing or could show up in some movie with Vin Diesel and send demand through the roof. The auction circuit shows us that speculating on cars is more art than science.
