There are a lot of cars out there that have aged horribly, some ever look dated by the time they hit showroom floors. But there arent to many cars the defy the odds and look good for years. My choice would be the Bentley Continental GT, this car is 11 years old now, and even with a 2003 model it looks pretty fresh. So Oppo, what car do you think has aged the least?

Call me biased, but this still looks great for having come out in 1998 (in Japan)

Agreed, The Continental has aged in a great way.

Please don't kill me...But these also.

The be fair, the GT looked old in 2003. But yeah, its pretty much the same.

A lot of cars from 2000-2005 still look good today, like the Mk1 Focus, in all its body styles. The original Ka that we didn't get over here, unfortunately, and the Mercedes A-class, Scion xA, etc.

Toyota Carolla, it's still the same boring car it has always been.

I think this has aged particularly well. It is what I believe all new BMW's should be striving to achieve

Eh, I'm gonna have to disagree with you on the xA.

I've always thought the Fiat Barchetta has aged rather well. It's 20 next year.

Totally agree with the Focus and it's segment busting 'QuickEdge' design

McLaren F1 is still amazing.

Ferrari 550/575M is still gorgeous.

Vanquish didn't start in 2013... the 2001-07 V12 Vanquish is still gorgeous, too.

Biased answer coming up. A girl I goto school with thought I bought this new. While I wouldn't go that far, imo it doesn't look a decade old.

A70 Supra still looks great, although the pop-up headlights do date it a little bit.

Nissan Z32 300ZX is quite timeless, and still looks fresh today. Actually a new car wouldn't be able to look that good with all of the new crash standards, and regulations. A new car has to be bulkier and more blunt than this.

FD-3S is also a pure, clean form... almost a guarantee to be timeless.

Lack of over-styling, and proper proportion is almost always a key to timeless design.

If anything, the original actually looks quite a bit better than the latest iteration:

I think the Z8 has aged and will continue to age well.

This car was so ahead of its time that it still looks modern. And every supercar since is similar to it.

still competitive to some modern day sports cars also.

Do they really look 10-12 years old?

Timeless, and classic, aren't quite the same thing.

Both 1968 and 2013 Morgans look like they date back to 1935. They look classic, and very good.

Nostalgic, yes. Retro perhaps. Timeless... no. They are very intentionally targeted to look like a specific time period.

The jags look dated. The land crusier some what. The Audi and the Land Rover do too, but it might be because I see there updated versions a lot more often than the old ones.

I approve! My neighbor has a 650i, I don't know what year, but it doesn't look old.

The 6-Series is like Patrick Stewart. It's old, but it never really ages.

O.K., I'll admit up front that I'm prejudiced, so be forewarned, but if I get asked one more time, "Is that a new model Cadillac", I'm going to explode with laughter!

Last year we had our 10 year anniversary party at Bowling Green Plant where these were built. Cadillac XLR/XLR-Vs were built between 2004-2009, so even the newest one out there is 5 years old.

That's because it's retro. It was based on the 507.

I dunno it still looks modern to my eye. I'd totally DD it if the interior wasn't so cramped and the engine wasn't so expensive to maintain. I wish I was shorter and had more money. Then I could DD it and deal with the maintenance costs!

I'm going with my E46 M3 (I took this picture two years ago in the Fall, the car hasn't changed since). Does it look brand new? No. Does it look old, like an E36? No. However I have non-car people ask if it's new all the time. Mine is a 2003 model which qualifies it as old.
