Go on, I dare you...

[wolfracesonic]

......to find a car of any era that has aged better than this



....cracking on for 14 years since it was released and to my eyes there's not a line on it that couldn't have left the pen of some polo necked, frameless glassed wonder yesterday. So go on I dare you, in fact I double dare you

Allegro.

YOURE WELCOME.

So to confirm the rules, we're not looking for something timelessly beautiful (like an E39), but something that looks like it may have been launched last year despite being really old?

[sparks_E39]

It would get away with a 2006 plate maybe. An E60 Sport, whilst not a good looking car, is 10 year's old now. Looks fairly fresh.

[David87]

No, that doesn't look like a modern Audi. It needs a set of retina-burning LED DRLs to make the whingers cry for that.

[Jasandjules]

Am I doing it right?

[LuS1fer]

You say that as though it's a good thing. All modern cars are cab forward and blobby so this was ahead of it's time? OK, it's neat but had a short bonnet by making it non-opening. I didn't want one then or now.

However, I'll see your A2 and offer the 6 years older Fiat Punto Mark 1 from 1993

If you designed that, no.

I'm losing the will to live.....

That Audi looks like Mr Blobby with an exciting respray in "Hartlepool grey".

^^Good call!

mx5 mk1

[anonymous-user]

venoms, so 90's

[Blue Oval84]

I think this still looks quite fresh. 1998 I believe.

[CB2152]

I think it still looks quite new, being almost a decade old now...

MX3

What the MX5 should been..

[P I Staker]

Does anyone here realise some of the ridiculous features of those A2s? Very strangely designed some of it...

ETA: Oh and totally timeless...





Still looking 50 years old brand new at dealers near you.

I think the Ford Cougar has aged pretty well.

We have a winner.

[davepoth]

A2 has done well. With a bit of pointless flame surfacing and chintzy LED lights it could be in the lineup today.

[fatboy b]

Seriously, an A2!!! WTF?

Anyway, you can close the thread....
