Is turning 25 years old a big deal? Well, it depends on the context.
As a person? Not particularly–unless you really have a passion for renting cars.
As a car not officially sold in the United States? Very much yes, as 25 years is the magic age a car needs to be in order to be imported into…
The Holden Ute caught my eye. I remember seeing a similar GM car like it with Mexico plates. I'm like I wish we had those here. The Ute seems like the ultimate modern version of the El Camino.
The Holden Ute almost made it here as a Pontiac G8 but it got canceled.
The Opel sort of made it here - it was in many ways the predecessor of the GM Kappas (Pontiac Solstice/ Saturn Sky).
In reply to stuart in mn :
I always wondered why GM never brought one over and just called it an El Camino, but it makes sense that something like that would get canceled.
With the popularity of rally and WRC increasing, I bet you'll see values for that Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Mäkinen Edition to start growing quickly.

JDM Youngtimers are starting to transition from fun-to-drive disposable cars"to serious collector's items–partially because so many were used as disposable items. Nostalgia plays a big part, too.
