2016 hagerty hot list

How
Let me tell you a bit about a running joke
among our family. Anytime we travel with the
Miller’s (Jim & Mindy) and someone needs
something, Mindy has it. She always carries
her “magic bag”. Whatever you need, she’s
got it in there. It’s almost like the magician’s
hat, but without the doves and rabbits. It’s
more like a Walgreen’s in there, what with the
pharmaceuticals, firsttems, snacks, health &
beauty items, greeting cards and magazines.
I, for one, have been saved more than once
by the “magic bag”. It’s bottomless, I swear!
The lesson to be learned here, of course, is to

be prepared! The question is: prepared for
what? With what? So let’s talk about what
you carry in your car, or maybe you

The 2016 Hagerty Hot List (along with base price)
2016 HAGERTY HOT LIST
1. Mazda MX-5 Miata ($24,915) – Since 1989, this car
has consistently (and sometimes exclusively) flown the
flag of the lightweight roadster. Where there used to be
MGs, Triumphs and Austin-Healeys, which leaked
everything from oil on the driveway to rain on the
passengers, there is the bullet-proof, trouble-free
Miata. And thank goodness Mazda persists. The
newest generation is shorter and more nimble than the
preceding model and is quickly gaining the respect of
driving enthusiasts.

measures, vehicles have never been better. As
2. Ford Focus RS ($35,730) –The Focus from Hell,
the RS will finally reach American dealers for the 2016
model year with 350 hp, 350 lb-ft of torque, a six-speed
manual and an all-wheel drive system that promises
everything but the moon and a World Rally
Championship trophy in every garage. Rear-biased
torque distribution? Check. Grin-worthy power? Check.
Hatchback practicality? Check. Look for Ford to snap
up the crowd that Mitsubishi deserted when it
discontinued the Evo.
manufacturers continue to push the boundaries during
this new golden age of automotive performance, it begs
the question: Will any mass-produced vehicles built
today stand the test of time and become truly collectible
in the eyes of enthusiasts?
In answer to that question, we’re pleased to present our
3. Chevrolet Camaro SS ($37,295) – Following last
year’s debut of the sixth-generation Mustang, Chevy
has once again risen to the challenge with the newly
designed sixth-generation Camaro. There’s a new 2.0L
turbocharged four-cylinder powertrain along with the V6, but traditionalists will be glad to know that the SS
badge remains in all its 455-hp V-8 glory.
annual list of vehicles that stand out as likely collector
cars within the next 25 years. In order to be considered
for the “Hagerty Hot List,” the vehicle must be produced
within the 2016 model year with an MSRP of less than
$100,000.

4. BMW M2 ($51,700) – If you need any proof of
BMW’s commitment to building performance coupes
that people love to buy, try searching for a pre-owned
1M Coupe. In 2016 BMW will launch that car’s
successor under the M2 nameplate. It’s slightly larger,
significantly sexier and equipped to bookend the M
Division’s lineup in the best possible way. Fans of
classics like the 2002tii and the Z3 M coupe will love it.
5. Ford Mustang GT350R ($62,195) – As if the GT350
wasn’t enough, the “R” version of Ford’s hottest
Mustang does away with everything possible to save
weight – including the rear seat – and even offers
wheels made of carbon fiber. Ford bred this pony with
one purpose: race track victory. As they say in the
financial world, past performance isn’t a guarantee of
future returns, but given the collectability of the Shelby
GT350R from the ’60s and even the Mustang Cobra R
from 1993, we’d say this one’s a shoo-in.
6. Alfa Romeo 4C Spider ($65,900) - We love the
pureness and simplicity of the 4C. It’s a refreshing
reminder that great cars don’t have to be complicated.
This car is more alive on the race track than the open
road, so we predict well-preserved examples to
dominate the vintage races in the future. The little 4C
offers performance similar to a Ferrari 360 Modena
from not too long ago at a bargain price for an Italian
exotic.
7. Porsche Cayman GT4 ($84,600) – This just might
be one of the most exciting driver’s cars ever to come
from Stuttgart. It borrows components from the currentgeneration 911 GT3 and puts them to work in a smaller,
mid-engine package that makes many people wonder
how much further the Cayman can go. We needn’t
remind you of how high-performance, low-production
Porsches have done in the collector car market.
8.. 2016 Dodge Viper SRT Coupe ($89,090) – This
isn’t the first year of the current Viper, but in a time
when most cars are trading engine displacement for
forced induction there is just something to love about
the brute force of the 8.4-liter V-10. If words like
“bludgeon” “eviscerate” and “trounce” appeal to you,
this is your car. Because who doesn’t need a sledge
hammer from time to time
9. Cadillac ATS-V ($60,465) – This car is built in
Lansing, Mich., to do battle with bad boys like the BMW
M3 and Mercedes-AMG C63. Its twin-turbocharged 3.6liter V-6 makes an eye-watering 464 hp that you can
control through an eight-speed automatic or a sixspeed manual with no-lift shifting and a penchant for
taking punishment. The ATS-V is proof that Cadillac
ain’t just whistling Dixie; there’s serious firepower
behind all the smack talk.
10. 2016 Lotus Evora 400 ($89,900) – This is the
brand’s quickest and most powerful series-produced
car ever, but it doesn’t sacrifice Lotus’ trademark
lightness. It’s a good indication that things are looking
up in Norwich. We were worried about you for a while,
Lotus. It’s good to have you back on the Hot List.

Buckeye Miata Club Car Talk and Coffee
2016
Winter is coming fast and I know that some of
you have put your baby to sleep until spring.
Several members have asked if we were
going to have BMC Car Talk and Coffee again
this year and the answer is yes. It's not the
same as driving your Miata........but we can at
least talk about our cars to help get through
the cold winter.
We have put together a schedule for six
Saturday morning sessions to get together
to talk cars. Invite your friends.
What is it?
BMC Car Talk and Coffee is simply a chance
to get out of the house on cold winter
mornings, have a cup of coffee and breakfast,
and talk about our Miata’s and cars
ars in general.
The gatherings are open to BMC members
and their friends. Discussions are very
informal and might include topics such as
tires, suspensions, air intakes, exhaust
systems, detailing etc. We would certainly like
to have outside subject matter experts if you
know of someone.
When is it?
Saturday mornings starting at 9:00 AM to
about 10:30 AM. Come and go as you please.
This years tentative schedule is:
February 27, 2016
