IMO no, its a production car and IMO made in Mexico does not help. What will happen in 30 years is anyones guess but it will be one of those things when you point at it and say "look, I have not see one of those things in a while"

Dude, I think for that one you might have to wait it out 9 more yrs for the FULL 50 yr program to kick in.
