    The XKE relied on gimmicks to start the engine.
    Mostly they are seen being pushed to a trailer.

    The 911 hardly looks dated. It looks as new now as it did in 1964.

    Most Diablos will easily stand the test of time, but there are a few colors that are looking pretty dates. Those early 90's purples? Yikes!

    The Third Generation Firebird/Camaro looked best mid-life with some basic add-on ground f/x, and then got silly stuff like the Firebird's Batmobilesque nose. The first ones were plain to the point of looking a touch cheap. I totally agreee with the 25th anniversary countach going way to far with add ons, while some of the mid-production ones had just the right amount of flair added. However the clean originals have now aged the best.

    Agree that new cars with beautiful lines seem to age the best. I'm sure there are mathematics and graphic design rules that determine this but if a car looks good then it will likely continue to look good and therefore not look 'dated'.

    To me nothing dates a car more than a touch monitor in the interior. LCD screens being large or central to the dash will quickly date a car. Keep it analog and classy - stay away from high tech that gets low tech in a hurry.

    575 or 550 do not look dated, in fact quite good looking in some generic ways. If we change the badge, some people would believe it to be the next gen of Mitsubishi 3000gt or new Toyota Supra.

    It probably doesn't help that the 14 year old AM adopted the proportions of a late 60's American muscle car.

    Gonna have do disagree with you.

    The Aston would look totally current to most folks.

    The Ford? Meh - it doesn't really look "dated," but doesn't look terribly special either.

    The Alfa? Certainly a beautiful machine, but looks VERY dated, along the lines that I'd expect to see it as a kid's pedal car or a cast metal toy on a desk. The dinky windscreen and the huge humps behind the seats just screams 1950s or very early 1960s.
