Because not many Volts will survive the electrical fires. I can understand that logic.

Scarcity makes an item a collectable.

And since 90% of these things are going to burst into flames within the next two years, they will become very collectable indeed.

The group names a future collectible each year. Past winners, which have all been domestic brand cars, include the Chevy Camaro (2010), Ford Flex (2009), Dodge Challenger (2008), Dodge Viper SRT10 (2007), Pontiac Solstice (2006), Ford Mustang (2005) and Chrysler 300 (2004). The honor was first bestowed on the Buick Riviera and Oldsmobile Aurora in 1995.

OK, most of these are nice as hell with the exception of the Volt. But what is with the Flex - that is a horribly, ugly monstrosity.

The Volt is the collectible car of the year?

Well, I kept my gallstone, but I surely don't want another.

An antique cars collectability is usually directly related to it’s popularity when new. The Volt ain’t popular now & never will be a real collectible.
There will never be one in my garage.
By the way,the Corvair was not as bad as Nader made it out to be. They have a large following & are collectible at low prices.
This from a Ford guy. I should have my mouth washed with soap for saying that.

I’ve got an idea: let’s retire Obama and give him a Volt as a going away present.

Volt Named 2011’s Collectible Car of Future Years

Only if it doesn’t burst into flames before hand.
