Basically almost all Honda and Toyotas (minus the Celica). Because of their conservative designs.

Hard to say, because it's all personal taste. I would say Most Honda/Acura, Benz, BMW, Audi and Infiniti.

Probably the Infiniti G35 Coupe.

The last car to come out of Japan that was that distinctive and "timeless" in its shape was the '93-'95 Mazda RX-7 (although I'm admittedly a bit biased). You see them today and they still look like essentially a brand new design.

I think the Jetta will age well, perhaps the Mazda 6. With compines going after more daring styling (BMW, Infiniti), I'm not sure how well their products will age

I think the 300M hasn't aged at all. Still looks fresh.

I'd say the Audi RS6 sedan, for it clean, balanced proportions.

I'd also say the DA & DC platform Integras

Good design is timeless.. think of the original Z, the BMW 3.0CSL & 507...

And as nice as the Mazda 6 and new RX-8 are, the multiple lens headlights and taillights are already kinda wearing on me. The Altezzas on the new Evo 8 are a crime IMO...

Agreed.


Exactly. If the next gen RX-7 looks anywhere that good....

I think Audi's for the most part will look good. Their interiors wont look outdated either.
