Pretty much every generation Corvette. They look good at the time, but when the next generation comes around, the previous generation always looks like a 10 year old bowling ball.

If you ask me, the looks of these Cars really haven't aged well at all.

Looks dated. Doesn't look bad, just dated. My opinion.
I've always thought the E46 was the best looking generation. Hmm.

Looks nice but dated compared to the current year SL Benz.
Interesting. To my eye the 2003+ SL500/550 is still a gorgeous car, great stance, terrific interior. The lines still flow gracefully on that car, even today. My opinion only of course.

I agree on the Porsches, from certain angles.

i think both of these cars look horribly dated for their time. any time i see one on the road i think it should have been made in the early 80s for it to fit in aesthetically.
My god, I would never guess that the Ferrari was that new.

Most Mercedes and GM products.

The ones that come to mind - 190E, the 2004 Malibu/Monte Carlo, anything Oldsmobile, anything Pontiac, most Cadillacs.

Lets be honest though - most cars do NOT age well. There are a few standouts but hardly anyone is above 'the times'. Short of exotics, its really difficult for me to pick 5 80's cars I think are attractive.. with such offerings as the Cimarron and K cars - you'd think it'd be easy!
