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.

Exactly, that's why I think trying to compare the 86 with the s2000 is like comparing apples to oranges.
Sure the used car market can be unpredictable sometimes but it's not really shocking that expensive, low production Japanese cars like the Evolution, STi, Turbo Supra, RX7, Integra type R, and NSX are still desirable decades later.
Then again a TT 3000gt doesn't really have the same kind of 'rice tax' compared to it's rivals.
