There are cars whose appearance is practically eternal: these include, for example, SUVs, such as the Mercedes Gelandewagen, as well as the compact Mini or the first-generation Ford Mustang muscle car. But there are also those that are at the other extreme: cars that look fresh and cool at the moment, but will not stand the test of time. The American publication Jalopnik has compiled its own list of such cars.
To begin with, the author of the article gives several examples of “ugly outdated“ cars from the recent past – among them were the well-known Hummer H2 and Chrysler PT Cruiser... Do you agree with these examples? Leave your opinions in the comments, and in the meantime, we'll take a look at the list of cars that are rapidly becoming obsolete right now.
According to Jalopnik, all Tesla models, all current Toyota models, coupe-like SUVs such as the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE, the Mercedes-Maybach GLS premium SUVs, the Mercedes-Benz EQ line models, Ram and Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks, the current generation of the Chevrolet Corvette, Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and Lexus TX crossovers, all Kia and Hyundai from recent years, as well as all cars with unpainted plastic elements and all cars with illuminated logos have no chance of remaining in history for long...
What would you exclude from this list and what would you add - from the cars that are relevant for our market? For example, how is the design durability of the new Kia and Hyundai?
