I think very few cars stand the test of time, almost all of them I see from 20 years ago look incredibly dated, some completely hideous. I agree on Hyundai, their "put a crease and curve on everything" styling is going to age poorly and look comical 10 years from now (I think they look terrible now myself). Cadillac is another, I watched The Matrix Reloaded the other day and thought, that car just looks stupid, and Cadillac has expanded the styling motif.
The generation 2 Camry to me is a classic, they have held up well styling wise, and if you find a clean example, they really stand out. Sadly the car rusts badly.

My interpretation of the original question is what car (older) has stood the test of time and still looks just as good today as when it was released. So here are my inputs:

I'm not so sure the 2IS will be timeless, but the Supra still looks good today.
And no doubt, the F40 is absolutely timeless. A wolf in wolf's clothing!
