Porsche 911, by definition! Almost the same deal for the Miata but I think it has morphed a bit more over time.

Maybe the VW bug, given the new-design success it had (I think we're over it now).

Viper coupe's


NSX's

And I'll say most TVR's since they look like nothing else on the road to compare against anyway.

I believe the s2000 will be another car that will stand the test the time design wise do to it's sharp but subtle looks.

I think a clean original Lexus SC also still looks quite sharp.
