The R34 Skyline and the Zonda are walking away with this.
The Cerbera gets a special mention for being even older though
What about the McLaren F1?

Doesn't look that dated for a yank tank...

The Fiat looks dated but the 1999 Mercedes Benz S500 doesnt?! You hit your head on something? delved into the seedy world of crack cocaine? Been blinded by the recent eclipse? Developed a form of mental illness because you drank led paint?
Genuinely worried about you dawg holla back

The e38 BMW.
I know the pictures are not older e38's but the basic design has been around since 1995 iirc.
And from 1998, we have the e46 BMW, something that still imo looks fresh after 11 years.

Not so sure on the e38 but agree on the e46.
Howard, trust you to post a hairdresser's car.
Here's one I'm not too sure about, but it doesn't look as old as the design is...
Looks better/newer in 3 door form...

The only cars in this thread which fit the bill are the Porsche 911 GT3 and the Pagani Zonda. The rest have all aged significantly.
To match today's standards, a 10 year old car would have needed to be absolutely extreme when it was launched. All bar the Porsche which has a very traditional design, even in the newest models. Modern designs seem to consist of a lot of sharp angles and creases. Without these, a 10 year old car will look it's age.

I agree on the 306, looks better in facelifted form than the replacements!

I think all the cars posted in this thread look incredibly dated except what Fox has posted, the Exige and the Celica

While the base models are starting to look quite tired, I still think the MK1 Focus is a pretty fresh design and is holding up well:

I disagree on the 911, the prefacelift front lights really look dated now and the S Class with facelift lights are needed although the smaller front grill is looking a bit dated today.

I think a lot of people are missing the point. It is not cars which stll look good but cars which dont look 10 years old. I mean come on, E38 7 Series? Subaru Legacy and a Mitsubshi Carisma based Evo? guys guys guys, no.
MK1.5 Focus is just over 7 not 10, the Celica is on a 56 plate ffs..

The TT is a good shout, I'm sure
Man in street cannot tell difference between a C4S and a GT3. Therefore, GT3 = fresh. Infact man in street cannot tell difference between 996 and 997 so arguably it wins thread
Remember, this is cars that look good in isolation. All cars look old parked beside the replacement model but mostly you wont see them immediatly followed by a replacement, so in isolation it doesn't date them quite as quicky.
It's about 'Wow, I cant beleive thats 10 years old!'.
