From a personal point of view I think we reached that stage about 1983

No. It will never achieve that. The closest I seen recently that would come close is my G5 Mac. It is 2 years old and still does not seem obsolete.

Hey Mal...
Well, here's the perspective of an automotive draftsman (nearly 30 years in)...I think it all depends on the automaker and the stylist/designer.
For instance, the Ford 500 (we're talking US market, right?) - seems it dated itself right on the show room floor. They've tried to retrofit it, but to no avail. Yawn. On the other hand, Camillo Pardo did a stunning job with the Mustang and the Ford GT - both cars are updates of the older styling.
When I got my 300C in 99, I too thought that it would stay somewhat 'fresh'...but nope. It's starting to look dated.
I think it's safe to say, like some classics from yesteryear, that there will be cars that stand up in looks through time, and those that fall by the wayside.
I have to wonder about the styling of cars for the middle class overall....we're talking vehicles around 30,000. MOST of them are boring....developed to appeal to a conservative sector, conservative colors, and a bunch of bell whistle 'extras' to draw the customer into the show room.
Sorry, got on a rant.
