Brockmeister the same thing happens to me. Whenever I meet someone who isnt really a Porsche or sports car type and they try to guess the year of the car -- they never come close to saying 12 years or more. When I explain to many of them that the design is back from when they were toddlers ('93) they think im pulling their leg. No other Porsche, Audi or Bimmer design still looks this current. Others still look great but they make you think of the distant past. You can tell a casual observer (and not a sports car nut) that the 986 is 7 years old, most would certainly believe you.
Think about it, that Boxster concept car below only came out a couple of years after the very first Miata.
That's the epitome of a clean, simple design free of gimmickry that still turns the head of every person that watches it roll past.
