Of course, value will largely depend on what happens going forward. The 350 would be holding value even better had the 370 not come out...and even though you guys hate to hear, the 370 would be doing better had other cars not received big improvements.
The s2000 took a price hit when the 370 roadster turned out to be much cooler than the 350, and you can't really predict stuff like that.
Agreed with everything, except on the S2000 comment. I believe it was discontinued in 2009 a year before the 370Z roadster was released. I just don't think Honda upgraded their roadster to keep up with the times and just basically gave up and folded on sports cars. Now I doubt our cars would be collectibles but they should hold some nice value similar to the 300ZX TT, although that depends on what Nissan follows this Z with.
