Not being biased, but if that tragic scenario you just told is anything to go by, in actual fact, that is what would make the AU collectable. The VT was the logical move forward for the common whore... and just that, another common whore. However, the AU was hated for its asthetic appearance, and that is what would make it a collectable, if anything. Its driveability would not see it as collectable, which is the most attractive part of the AU for most AU owners.

But the 220 xr8, or any AU besides a t-series will not be a collectable.
