Well everyone is talking about how so many of our mustangs are mass produced and no one is going to want them. I read Jay Leno's article a few years back in popular mechanics magazine where he stated back then, in the 60's and 70s, everyone had the same mindset as we do now. There are so many mustangs and no one is going to want them in the future. Fast forward to today and they are pretty rare desirable. So 20 or 30 years from now you never know what people will like, or be into. Who knows maybe we wont be able to drive them anymore, due to the oil running out. And with this new NObama plan where he wants us to get rid of our used vehicles and buy new "Greener cars", who knows how many people will just get there mustang crushed say they can get their 2022 Ford Fagleaf. So we dont know till we get there.

As for the current buyers of mustangs being women, nothing has changed since 64. There is a mustang for everyone from a hardcore gearhead to a secratary who doesn't know the difference between a v8 and hampster on a wheel. Its been that way since day one.
As far as mass production killing the love, look at the production numbers of the classics compared to current cars. And we all still love the classics.
So, I dont think you will ever get rich with a new edge/s197, but they will still be appreciated way down the road.

Obama is nothing more than the spokesman for the Bilderberg group that will try to cram higher tax down our throats in the form of carbon emissions taxes and if we revolt they have plenty of FEMA concentration camps that they'll stick us in to build electric s.h.i.t. cars that the sheep will drive as they work more than 6 months out of the year to pay taxes to the Council on foreign relations and the other tyrants of this oligarchy. I for one will drive my new edge well into the future even if I have to turn it into a mad max car. Flame on!
