i was thinking about cars the other day(what a surprise,
) and my thoughts turned to this particular categories of car : timeless.
a lot of us agree that Porsche 993, Shelby Cobra and such are quite possibly timeless, in that they still look very very cool.
But what about regular everyday car?
say, something that you would still use everyday, 10 years from now and still would think, 'yeah, i made a right choice getting this one'. something that would sit beside its modern counterparts in the parking lot and wouldn't look or feel out of place.
This is not just about design though. (exterior and interior)
Car industries design language ebbs and flows just like everything else in the world, but nowadays, i find myself thinking that cars today feel like a throw away products. just like all other consumer goods such as iPods. i have 3 iPods that i don't use.
and it's not because they are broken. still works perfectly fine, but they are outdated.
so i'm trying to find a timeless everyday car. something that may not be the most beautiful, but is engineered impeccably and built wonderfully so that it would pass the test of time.
What would you buy?
