I don't think so. The 996's are quite simply ugly - and Porsche knew it had lost the plot with them as is apparent from the 997 redesign. Not just the slab sides and the lights - but the entire interior design is also truly fugly.

I cannot imagine 996's becoming collectible - bracketed as they are between the 993's and the 997's.
