Dated??? What planet are you from?
The 3GS is being copied all over the place and you call it dated. There always seems to be someone who pops up throwing that word around. The 3GS is a very stylish car. As much as it's copied no one still gets the essence of it right. Nothing gets me riled like that word....especially when it's used inappropriately.

the 3GS has a cassette player?
i don't think it's dated at all (from the exterior anyways) it could go on for a couple more years.. 2011 model seems about right

If the op thinks the 3GS is dated, he must think the 2GS belongs in a collector garage and the 1GS in a museum.
Dated.......my foot.

Hopefully the later on the road becuase you don't want the newer model and design to reduce the price of the 3rd GS..........

I am still tripping. A 2 year old car being called dated. I'm just tripping so hard on that I can't believe it.

I'm sorry but there is nothing dated about any of those 2 cars.
The only modern cars I'd call dated are the retro designed models. Other than that a car would have to be somewhere around 10 years old before I'd consider using the word dated. The square-bodied 1990 Nissan Sentra, that's dated because it's a completely no longer used design theme. Remember those hard edged, square looking cars of that era. That's dated. Not these modern-designed cars. People need to stop frivolously using that word.
