OK, so this is very subjective, but some certainly fare better than others.

One that springs to mind is...

I anticipated a pedant would jump in, hence the "approx" in the title.

I think the VW Touareg has aged very well looks-wise...

Veloce

2003 Nissan 350z / Fairlady Z

Stallingrad

Could have been launched yesterday.

H3llR4iser

This was launched in 1994...


A lot of saloon cars design have aged badly because of the window line going higher and higher in the last few years...anything with an old style "low window line" will look very dated today...

Considering this came out in 1999

I think it looks very dated ever since the Mk2 came along.

toastedpickles

I second this

Whole heartily, half my area would be on it :pac:

Eric Cartman

W220 S class, 1999 , if you put LED rear lights on it and gave it a polish , people would think it was an 07/08 design.

Do it! Could be fun.

keithsfleet

Dare I suggest the mx5 88/89 (off the top of my head, phone in one hand and pizza in the other so I ain't researching)

challengemaster

Lotus Exige / Elise

stimpson

In fact anything with a Kamm back.

Zascar

I'm biased but...



I remember this coming out when I was in school and thinking it was absolutely beautiful. Now I own one that is 12 years old - and I still think its a cracking looking car. Great all round really!

Yeah good looking by all means but put a e39 aside a f10 and you can tell the e39 is soo outdated. Exterior and interior wise.

Eric Cartman

first released in 1989 , still looked really modern in 1999 when it was discontinued, its aging a bit now but if I put it into a carpark next to a load of jap cars from 00-02 I dont think anyone would call it the oldest looking by a long shot.

and Id still love to have one today.

Volvo S40 15 years old and still looking good

As much at kills me, its true. Whenever I see a super clean E39 or see my E38 in a typical Irish car park, they stand out as very fresh, well looked after, slick executive saloons.

Drive into a BMW dealership with one, park it up and you start to appreciate how seriously dated they really are.

Bugger, you beat me to it by seconds.

30 years old at this stage and still one of the best looking things on the road no matter what guise it's in. 90,110,130 all look brilliant.

The Pontiac

I may be biased, but the Saab 9-3? Introduced in 2002, so 11 years old.

Yup. Timeless. Clean it up with a lick of paint and a modern hue and it'll look very fresh still.

Have to really disagree with this. I saw a brand new "131" one of these a few weeks ago and the only thing I could think was how cheated I'd feel spending that money on something that looked as old as it did.

under the same guise


the g wagon, its only been facelifted a few times and still looks well.

Focus Mk1 for me, as mentioned previously

Mercedes R171



Notable mentions would also include the Celica Gen 7, and Rover 75 imo.

You could probably go back many more years than 10 before discerning the subtle changes
