It seems to be made in the same mold as the Macan and dare I even say the 2016 Masser Levante. Staggering its 13 years old when you consider how dated its rivals from back then look - X5, RR, ML etc.
Really? Really? Am I the only one who can see this for what it is? T.U.R.D. on wheels.2003 Infiniti FX
2015 Macan
2016 Levante
Also I think these, given it is cheating a bit as they are supercars, but I think they look very modern and if someone had NEVER seen a newer version/model of them and they stuck a a 16 plate on i don't think they would say thats an old car on fake plates....

15 YEARS OLD!!!!!

I think the FX out out of all the suggestions so far matches most to the idea of the thread.
Runner-up is the A2, and I still think the Mk2 FIAT Punto gets the third spot on the podium because it would not look out of place in a market sector into which these two cars were launched in the last 2 years...

Perhaps I've missed the evolution of this thread, but we've had:
Old cars that were ahead of their time and looked like cars from 10 years later, but look old now.
Old cars that look nice, but old.
Old cars that look old, but they still inexplicably still make, or did until recently.
Old cars that are old, look old, but their owners love them (with reason) but only they think they look current, because they don't.
Then... sort of old cars (shock horror they stopped making them 5 years ago, but everyone quotes the year they first arrived) but being German the current one looks like a more modern version of same thing so they look current, usually with slightly bigger headlamps and slightly less sharp creases on their flanks.
And about 4 cars which actually went out of production more than about 8 years ago, but still look current, mostly those Coupe/SUV hybrid blob things the Japanese used to make, and the Germans do now.
Or perhaps I'm a miserable cynic who when he sees a picture of a XJ200 from the 90s, sees a car from the 90s, even one with half of Halfords glued to it.

No, that just about sums it up. Old cars that were ahead of their time and looked like cars from 10 years later, but look old now.

Well unlike most people, I didn't post cars that "I think look good today", I actually read the thread title and posted a car that I think looks like a 2016 model. Regardless of how goor or how pretty/ugly it is, its pretty hard to deny that the 2003 FX doesn't look bang up to date:
2003 Infiniti FX
2015 Macan
2016 Levante
That is actually a very good call. 2003 Infiniti FX
2015 Macan
2016 Levante
