It seems to me that what will most likely drive long-term value of the FRS/BRZ/86 is what happens in 2 to 5 years. As long as they are producing basically the same model, used prices will continue to decline at about the same rate as all other cars.

Once the Gen 2 (or death of the model) happens that is when the real long-term value will start to rear its head.

Fortunately for me I have no real stake in this game given my car will be well worn and on its way to over 200K miles by the time any of that comes up.

The S2000 only has decent value on the used market because it was a decent, limited run, and relatively popular car that is no longer produced.
