Wondering which of today’s cars, trucks, and SUVs might have the potential to be collectible in 25 years? Hagerty Insurance Agency, which specializes in classic car insurance, has looked into its crystal ball and selected 10 current car models for its Hagerty Hot List 2016.

To be eligible for the Hot List, models must be built in the 2016 model year and have a base MSRP below $100,000. This year, half of the 2016 Hagerty Hot List are from Detroit-based carmakers, while four are European exotics. Only one Japanese sporty car is on the potential classic list—the Mazda MX-5 Miata.

The accompanying slideshow features all 10 of the new car models on the 2016 Hagerty Hot List, along with commentary from Hagerty about what makes these cars special.

Ford Focus RS

(Base: $35,730)
This Ford compact will reach U.S. dealerships in 2016, powered by a 350-horsepower engine mated with a 6-speed manual and all-wheel drive (AWD) that rallies on street or track and should excite former Mitsubishi EVO owners.

Chevrolet Camaro SS

(Base: $37,295)
Hagerty says the sixth-generation Camaro deserves consideration as a future collectible because of its new design and efficient 2.0-liter, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine plus an optional high-performance V-8 that produces 455 horsepower.

BMW M2

(Base: $51,700)
BMW debuts the M2 Coupe, which succeeds the 1 Series M, but is larger, with a “sexier” design. Hagerty says fans of the Z3 M Coupe could be swayed by it.
