What cars have aged well? (in your opinion)

By teal_dx
- Thu Apr 12, 2012 3:00 pm #301618 Looking at cars on the road, I see some that look timeless even though they are 10+ years old. Then there's some newer ones that I cringe and wonder what the company was thinking.
Examples:

Image
1997-01 Honda Prelude looks like it could have been a new car just a few years ago. Ford even copied the headlights on the Fusion which was new 9 years later in 2006!

Image
1999-2003 AP1 S2000. The face-lifted AP2 looks more modern, but the AP1 still looks great.

Image
92-02 FD RX-7 It's a typical rounded 90's body, but looks timeless IMO.

Now for one that did not age well IMO... the BMW 7 series

perfect!

I also wanted to say mkII supra, and Porsche 944. They don't look like they could be new, but they have grown on me a lot. I want both.

Also the 2002 Nissan 350Z - bad ass at the time it was launched and still looks like it could be one of today's cars.

But I am sure of the g35. These puppies started coming out in '03, and still look like it could be a '13 model. It's impossible to not love the g35. Fantastic engine platform with a vast array of aftermarket parts available (Greddy TT kit!). These bitches can be made fast. And the body lines are oh so sexy......when it has the aero kit installed. Slap rims on it, maybe lower it some, and you'll be left with a sleek yet aggressive looking car. And girls don't find it gay, which is always a plus :thumb:

Here is one on CCW SP20s. I should use a stock model picture, but the CCWs are too sexy not to share instead.

Samesies. The sedans are ugly. I like the coupes, but it has to have the aero kit. I'm a picky bitch.
