Which cars are classy these days?

[ian_touring]

Tesla model S.
Anything SUV-related is a no.
Old 911s (up to and including 930 ish era) definitely are classy.

I've been thinking about the Model S, and I think I agree. Has to be on smaller wheels and possibly a 60 or 70. I've seen lots in London, almost always parked and to me they give off a certain serenity. I expect most, especially the lower range ones, are driven in a classy manner.

Audi Allroad - If it's good enough for HRH Prince Charles and much of the other polo & equestrian set...

I thought they all got special rates with Audi - so a bit of a marketing ploy I think.

Audi supplied cars free to the English polo team, and at good rates to others in that world, a fairly well known 'secret' in polo circles...

Yes!
One of these is on my to-do list.

most people in this thread I feel is missing the point. The point isn't to post old/classic cars. but rather modern cars that look classy and not tacky. a tidy merc w124 is classy but even that's a little old and not really something you can consider to be 'these days'. IMO 'these days' should be any car post 00's.

Classy, or merely unnoticeable? - old 5series in Resale Silver, 3.3l/manual format (yes, I'm biased, but bloody love it.)

Ghibli Petrol , shows you have NOTHING to prove -and the car doesnt either.

My wife has just got a 3yr old FFRR in Aintree green with clear glass TDV8 and I I think it looks classy. Her one specific exterior specification was in fact clear glass. It was actually quite hard to find one with this spec as most have "privacy" glass nowadays.
I always thought these older Bentley coupes looked amazing in the flesh and oozed class.

IMHO a car that says "sold the company 10 years ago and still driving the car from my days as the chairman".

Something like a (non black, white, grey or silver) v8/v12 AMG (with clear windows).

11 yrs old this year, but then again its mine and I'm biased . . . . .

Eerrrr. No. The 6 has always been a bit bling.

Nice car all the same.

Menacing maybe. Swollen arches, zero suspension travel & red calipers aren't what I'd call classy

Classics aside, I'd say some Volvo models are almost there. I was going to say Subaru but a quick look at the latest models of Forester/legacy shows them being pretty gash.

Forgot to add non amg model ?? he's also got these

How about this ?

[olderbutnotwiser]

Modern cars ? Volvo s90.
Earlier choices ? These are classy for me.

Of all the marques, I feel only Volvo currently carry off the "classy" vibe as described in the original post.

Nice classic styling with no pretense.
