I think it will to some degree. But it has stiff competition in "collectible" status compared to older M3s, Porsches, Lotus Elise, etc. (Referring to "collectible" as far as people like me who want a lightweight car without a bunch of nannies, creature-comforts, 15 airbags, etc.)

Man, I wish I could still get an '05 Lotus Elise for $35k or so, but so few were made, that the people who want a raw car drove up the prices to like $55k now. There just aren't many raw cars to choose from. 370z won't rise like that, but I could totally see the 350z/370z manuals keeping better than average prices against all the cars that don't offer manual or have a bunch of electrical dash stuff that will fail and won't be supported in years to come. Personally, I'm kinda interested in a 370z sport, but not in a Touring because I don't want the extra electrical stuff.
