What cars of the period 1995-2010 do you think will be highly sought after by collectors or considered classic designs in the 2030s?

I'll start with a few of my favorites. It's pretty much a given that Porsches, Ferraris and Lamborghinis will be desirable, so I'll skip those now.

BMW Z8 (2000-2003)
Mazda RX-7 (3rd generation, 1995)
Honda S2000
Mazda Miata
Audi TT
Honda/Acura NSX
VW New Beetle
Toyota MR2 (2nd generation, 1995-99)
Honda Civic
Honda/Acura Integra
BMW M Roadster, M Coupe
BMW Z3 (1996–2002)
BMW 3 Series (E46, 4th generation, 1998-2005)
Ford Mustang
Chevrolet Corvette
Ford 150 (Tenth generation, 1997–2004)
Dodge/Chrysler Magnum (2005–2008)
Chrysler Crossfire
Chrysler PT Cruiser
Plymouth/Chrysler Prowler

I'll probably add more later.

Cabding:
Prius. No for it's looks or anything more for the fact it was the first semi successful step to moving away from gas as a fuel.

The first generation that looked a bit like an Echo sedan, or the second generation (hatchback) that most people recognize as a Prius?

The original two-seater aluminum Honda Insight might attract some interest as the first production hybrid (and still the most fuel efficient  production car sold in the USA.)

Perhaps "collectibles" would be a better term for those, in that they represent the zeitgeist of the era, although if you really wanted the zeitgeist of the era, that would be lowered SUVs running on chrome 22s.
