If what you say becomes true, then those 911's and R8's (I'm guessing that's generally what you mean by exotics/pleasure drives) will actually go UP in value, no?

It will be a replay of the 1970s when a combination of new emissions and safety standards locked a lot of niche manufacturers out of the US market. Pre-1975 exotics held value and even appreciated. The gray market, which imported high end used cars, became popular until NHTSA banned it.
