    I'm surprised the E39 5 series hasn't had a mention yet. (I can't say the SE has faired to well, but the Sport however!)

    The car went into production 17 years ago.

    The 2001 facelift kept things fresh. Still looks good today.

    Agree with other though, the 355 and 430 show just how badly the 360 has aged.
    You seriously think the 360 hasnt aged well? IMO its still one of the most elegant fezzas theyve made. My only complaint would be its too subtle, almost porsche like. The 355 styling is stuck in the early 90s and reminds me of Magnum PI.

    Im amazed.

    The 355 is possibly the tastiest car designed (other than the 458) in the last 30 years IMO, the 360 looked alright for a few years but just looks fat and ugly next to the 355. The 430 is what the 360 should have been, its reflected in the prices of all three as well.

    Each to their own and that but no way is a 360 better looking than a 355. No way man.

    See ive just had pictures of both side by side and i just cant see how the 360 is in anyway dated over and above the 355. But then both are Pininfarina penned so lets face it outshine most supercars.

    The 355 I have to look closely at every time to make sure it isn't an Mr2 bodykit, the 360 in road going form is pretty tame and curvey but the race prepped ones with wings and better wheels definitely still hold there own in 2012, the F50 is the worse one to look at closely followed by the enzo

    How about the Integra DC5? Saw a 2002 reg one parked on the street today. Still looks fresh ten years after release.

    Looked crap less than a year after being released:




    Looked awesome for a few years but these days it is TERRIBLE. No, it doesnt look good. It looks like a peice of shitey **** escort with a big gay ****off spoiler.


    Always looked cool, from the day they rolled from the showroom, to this present day, and forever more

    Every single picture of an NSX makes it look awful - like a badly photoshopped Prelude, it looks so much better in the flesh.

    I've only seen a few nice pics too. But the one that parks at the end of my road is still automotive porn!

    There's an NSX near me, it lives in a really rundown looking garage no-one would look twice at. Is it sad that I get a little thrill knowing what's in there?

    Unfortunately the dodgy hubcap style wheels haven't gotten better with age though!

    I dont get it? The 355 looks 90's, the 360 looks like it could still be sold and the 430 looks more 360 than a 355?

    The 355 is nice, but has dated, 360 looks better now than when it first came out.

    ...and are you sure that top pic isn't an MR2, Mark ?
