Say since 2000 or so.

One that comes to mind for me is the Pontiac Solstice coupe, of which few were made. Very attractive car IMO.



Saturn Sky is the sister model and might be a sleeper also.

I also say the older CTS-V coupe:



What others?

You can put the Pontiac G8 GXP in that group as well.

I think about this often, but there are very few choices IMO. There are simply so many cars now that the styles are muddle together. I cannot think of a modern, affordable car that would make the cut.

ETA: Perhaps SUVs and trucks will be the future of the classic car industry.

I think these will be classics one day. They are still in the "old and shitty but not yet a classic" category:





And there's the rare 2 door:

I agree. No models stand out. Or look unique.

I wish someone would take a chance and make a truly unique car.

I always liked the lines on the Saturn vs the Pontiac.

I mean traditional classic cars are the cars your friend had and you wanted when you were 16 but couldn't afford until you were 55.

Outside of exotics or a classic remake (Mustang, Camaro, etc.), I don't know any current models that would qualify.

I do agree with the Jeep's posted earlier though. Things like that, Broncos, Blazers, etc. are going to be sought after, but they're not exactly modern.
