Thats a 5dr though. 5dr versions of 3dr cars always look crap.

I nominate the Audi A3. Thats been basically the same car for 20yrs.

You could say the same about 911's

There should be a test really. Stick a private plate on and take it to the pub. If the local barfly goes 'Coor, I like your new car.'

I think a Volvo 850 would fail this test.

Some recent Alfas still look modern, in the sense that they could still be sold today - GT, Brera, Spider maybe 159.

Hardly 'PH' but I think the Seat Altea has done quite well for a car that came out in 2004 - still being sold today looking pretty much the same and relatively fresh.

Still enjoy seeing a Porsche 993 Turbo.

Ok you could say 911's all look the same and Porsche designers are lazy but I still think the 993 looks modern.

Porsche 959 also looks pretty modern.

The Ferrari 288 gto also looks fresh and amazing considering it is 32 years old.

For a design from 1968, it's aged well.

Don't you think the new mx5 is a rip off of the 20 year old z3 design? I certainly do.

Both red with 4 wheels. Okay, and both are RWD with north/south engines, so the basic layout of the cars are similar.

I think a lot of people in this thread need to have a good stare at some new cars.

Ill add this from 1988, if only to beat the RX7 which i reckon is winning (might have been already suggested), but it is on the borderline of "Old cars that were ahead of their time and looked like cars from 10 years later, but look old now."

Not borderline. Absolutely square out the ballpark (with square being the operative word). 10 years is being generous, as by 1998 most cars had curves. There is nothing about that CRX that doesn't say '25 year old car'.

My exact words when seeing a CRX had been put forward: "What the f*** are you talking about?".

Bonkers. It is THE most 1980s car there is. There is no other car that looks more 80s than a CRX! Unbelievable!
