Post-2000 classics Driver 09/14/2018 (Fri) 09:38:37 Id: ccd050 No. 16879
After the year 2000 or so, I don't think there have been any cars, particularly daily drivers, that people could genuinely consider as 'classic' once they turn 20 or so. For context, a 20 year old car now includes the likes of the Audi TT and Nissan Skyline R34. And besides, sports cars don't count since they're automatically classics the second they're discontinued. I would like to be proven wrong. Are there any "everyday" cars made since 2000 that have a 'classic' appeal to them?
It might be that its 6am and I'm still having my first coffee but when you said 2000 and 20 years ago I didn't realize right away it's been almost 20 years. I was about to name drop 90s cars people love. I really like the Gen 1 WRX, but I guess outside people that know what it is why would anyone care about a base impreza The S2000 is still great, but you said no sports cars. I can't think of more right now, but I can get back to you.In the early 2000s they were still able to try and make nice cars, and crossovers didn't rape the market yet. Even if they're not classics I find a bunch of them at least nice to look at; or nicer to look at then a lot of the shit out now.

This car rides on the edge of post-2000 but I think it's going to be a classic.
>>16885 For a car to be a classic there has to be somebody who remembers it fondly
>>16894 I dunno, i like the post-2000 Peugeot designs in general. Ok, actually only their sedans, but their hatchbacks are not bad too
>>16894 This car has a real fanbase in Europe actually

>>16897 I can't get excited about them. I can't even remember them half the time, because they're bland or because I must have alzheimers. Cars from the 90's could get you moist down to your ankles even if they were poor mans' shitboxes. Post-2000 is just a train wreck and if I had to suffer a modern car I'd either get a Mercedes or an obese mini or I'd kill myself

>>16900 What a waste of dubs m8 and your car's from fuckin 98 when you're telling me it's a post-2000 design. Watch as the flim-flammed filtered faggot answers the OP better than you do: Nissan 350Z - Design is pre-2000 even if production began in 2001. TVR Sagaris - Was always going to be collectible anyway. Any modern Subaru - Yes but why not get a 97 subaru Skoda Yeti - Yes but why not get a Land Rover Defender Modern Land Rover Defender - Yes but why not get a classic Land Rover Defender Even when I'm helping out with the suggestions, post-2000 cars still disappoint. You've got nothing and you deserve it if all the unfiltered anons continue to bully you. Stay millennial you lala homo
>>16901 Wtf. >Skoda Yeti Wtf, they said the Matra Rancho was gonna be a collectible too like the Yeti and it ended forgotten by everyone. >yeti so why no a defender Bro wtf the yeti is a dorky station wagon, nothing to do with a defender >Sagaris, 350z We said no sports cars shit man you're not helping your case. Just get that RW Twingo and you're set.
>>16902 >shit man you're not helping your case my case is that all the nu-cars are shit, but OP asked us to somehow scoot around the truth. So there you go. A Skoda Yeti with a racing stripe on it is the most collectible car in 20+i don't fucking know. I don't have a picture of one, so have this land cruiser that's probably just a facelift of something that was better and available in 1999
>>16902 The yeti is a small work van with regular car doors, nothing special about that thing.
Considering just how common this thing is on the streets, this may be a contender.
I got multiple ideas while answering this thread. Consider: 8th gen Civic, that design will make it somewhat collectible Toyota IQ: this small shit is too peculiar to be forgotten Renault Vel Satis: that fucking retarded design Renault Avantime: that retarded design for a crossover - coupe - van shit that sold less than 9000 units which already has a fanbase

>>16904 My reasoning was that Skoda have made better cars in recent years and that their most memorable post-2000 design is the Yeti (seeing as the Fabia is pre-2000, and the Octavia/Superb are both boring). The EA888 petrol engine seems to be the most desirable version of the Yeti seeing as how the 1.8L is just a destroked 2.0L. You could swap the crankshaft and then start chasing the 300hp model that was in the Mk7 Golf/Seat Leon. >>16906 >The Mk6 Golf ok, but the Mk5 is still post-2000 and it had a V6 >>16907 >the "launched at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show to replace the already discontinued Safrane, it was previously revealed as a concept car in 1998" Renault Vel Satis >The "was first shown in February 1999" Avantime Millennials can't even lay claims to two of these four ugly and slow cars. They really have nothing.
>>16908 >concept cars are from 1998 so it can't be a 2000's car Bro if you only wanna complain at least do it right. A concept car isn't the car itself and the question was about post 2000 cars. These have begun production after 2000.

>>16909 >Uncooked bread isn't the loaf itself >Unborn baby isn't the baby itself >Unripe fruit isn't the fruit itself I could go into an explanation of how OP used the phrase "made" rather than "produced" and explain the differences but the thing is… I'm just here to affirm that millennial car design is terrible. The worst part is, it's not even the millennial generation's fault. If you're designing a car *for* the year 2000 you'd had to have been at least about 20 years old. Which means the designers who produced utter shit were born by 1980 or perhaps earlier. Who entered high school after around 12 years, so around 1992 or earlier (when the rot really had to have sunk itself in). If everything good was basically already designed by the 1970's, then it would mean that the last generation to receive a good education did so while enduring the aftermath of a major war. That gives you an idea of how bad things are now.
>>16910 you're going way off-topic. OP asked what car was gonna be a classic, not your opinion on why cars today look like shit.
>>16908 >The Mk6 Golf That's a Polo.

>>16912 >OP asked what car was gonna be a classic none >why that cuz they shit >why that cuz everyone died or retired who knew what they were doing >why that Therein you have the root cause of the problem. And I'm running out of millennial cars to post because I only saved about three
>>16914 >can't help giving his unrelated opinion What are you, a vegan?

>>16915 In addition to running with the question I've been throwing a bone the OP's way the whole time while the rest of you have fuck all to show. Give me something that's not your lowest-effort post and I'll run with that too.
>>16916 Got my post with 4 cars and the guy who posted the 406 coupe.
I don't know what is the deal with these, but they just refuse to leave the streets. And they have been on the streets since 2003! Haven't seen many new ones, but the old ones are definetaly running around in numbers.
>>16919 they look okay, but you can never love them the way a man can love a Mk 1 golf
