Mazda:
* 2002 Mazda6 (in 2004 it was the 3rd year after dropping the 626 name and the MPS will soon reach 20 as well.)
* 2003 RX-8 (first year of release. It’s now been 12 years since the RX-8 was discontinued.)
* 2004 Mazdaspeed MX-5/Miata (not just into the 2nd gen, but the facelift of it, and this is the only turbo version ever produced. A year later, the 2rd gen arrives.)
* 2004 Mazda3 (2nd year after dropping the 323 name and the BK MPS will soon be 20 as well.)
Ferrari:
* 2002 Enzo
* 2003 360 Challenge Stradale (2004 is the last year of production for both of these.)
GM:
* 2004 Cadillac CTSV (introduction for this model)
* 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Commemorative Edition (last year of production for the C5)
* 2004 Hummer H2 (2nd year)
BMW:
* 2003 M3 CSL (2006 was the last year for the whole E46 series.)
Volkswagen:
* 2004 Golf GTI (first production year for the Mk 5.)
Honda:
* 2003 Accord EuroR (the model overall were sold as Accords in Japan and Europe, Accord Euros in some markets, and the Acura TSX in North America.)
* 2004 Odyssey (3rd gen, arguably the first and last time Odysseys have been good looking cars.)
* 2004 S2000 (half way through it’s run, which ended in 2009.)
Lamborghini:
* 2002 Murcielago (2004 is the 3rd year, and would be on sale til 2010.)
* 2004 Gallardo (1st model year, would be on sale for another decade.)
Ford:
* 2004 F-150 SVT Lightning (last year for the 10th gen in the US.)
* 2004 Mustang SVT Cobra (last year for the 4th gen.)
* 2004 Falcon Ute (BA MkII. Down here in Aus, our Falcons were on the bounce back. XR6 Turbos have become an enthusiast staple. FPV introduced the 6cyl turbos into their higher performance range. It was 20 years ago, and these things had 270kW at 5250rpm and 550N⋅m at 2000-4250rpm, exclusively running a 6 speed manual.)
Man Mazda was really on something back then.
Late 90’s early 00’s was my generations peak.
Everything from 1988-2008 was fucking great.
These are all about as old as I expected. If anything I’m surprised some aren’t older.
I sure miss the mid-2000s car culture. They had some great cars, and shows like Top Gear and Fifth Gear were in their prime.
They made so many nice cars during that period. Not shown; Volvo S60/V70 R, VW Passat W8, Audi RS6 Avant
The e46 came out 25 years ago (not the CSL but the non M 3 series)
Other than not having an iPad slapped in the middle of the dashboard the car still feels modern. Drives better than most new cars, has most of the convenience features like auto wipers and lights.
What’s that car with “255 CVX 92” on the front?
**I need one.**
I might be a bit biased but man the AP2 s2000 has aged very well. Still very modern looking despite being 20 years old.
AP1’s on the other hand are starting to show it’s age, but changing the headlights and taillights to AP2 lights definitely updates the look of the AP1
Now that you have the Celica. I have not seen one on the streets in years.
my Z is definitely showing her age but she still looks as good as she did 20 years ago!
That’s funny… both of the cars I have now are in pic 11.
I am *not* responsible with my car purchases *at all*….
Came for the Blobeye, stayed for the Blobeye
The Carrera GT and S2000 have aged INSANELY well
