hmale4yu Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) i.e. which car that you can buy new today has been produced for the longest amount of time in its current lifecycle Anyone have an idea. UK market only Edited April 13, 2019 by hmale4yu Quote
Andy_Muxlow Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Isn't the Ford Fiesta the longest running car type? Or do you mean longest running style? Quote

So the Fiesta has only recently entered its lates generation lotus Evora has been in the same generation (gen 1) since 2009 i think up till 2018 it was the G wagon (1990-2018 G Class 463) Edited April 13, 2019 by hmale4yu 1 Quote
marzman Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 370z has got to be near the top of the list surely. Quote
LRF4N Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Yea 370z and GTR were both 09 as far as I know Quote
hmale4yu Posted April 13, 2019 Author Posted April 13, 2019 Was about to mention the punto but like the G wagon 463 that generation is no longer in production It gets a bit grey with low volume car makers like Caterham, Ginetta . I think it could be the GTR . maybe some of the older guys on here may have a better idea Quote
hmale4yu Posted April 13, 2019 Author Posted April 13, 2019 I think I might have it Abarth 500 2008-present Quote
ilogikal1 Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Depends on what you determine a “generation” to be. The Morgan 4/4 hasn’t really changed since its introduction in 1930-something... Quote

I think it might be the 500. Generation also includes mid-life facelifts Quote
OnlyAfro Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 911 hasn't changed since '64 as far as I can tell. 3 2 Quote
Ekona Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 I was going to say that, but it was too obvious Quote
hmale4yu Posted April 14, 2019 Author Posted April 14, 2019 Its got to the point that 911 guys already angrily anticipate the "it kinda looks like the last model" remarks with a if its not broke why fix it type of justification Quote
docwra Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Jag XF was 2007 but had a fairly major facelift in 2015, RR Phantom VII managed 14 years pretty much unchanged. Land Rover Defender must take the all time prize though, surely? Quote
OnlyAfro Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 G Wag takes the all time prize I believe, but as mentioned it's no longer current. Quote
docwra Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 All time prize will be the Mini, 2CV or the Beetle, they were around for years before the G Wagen. Here we go: https://www.autocar.co.uk/slideshow/ranked-world’s-longest-living-cars#31 Beetle is 65 years, 2CV 42 and Mini 41 years, I actually saw a 1959 car on the road on Sunday too Quote
shaunRS Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Although not the same model subaru have been using the same engine in the sti for the last 13 years! Quote
hmale4yu Posted April 17, 2019 Author Posted April 17, 2019 With the 50th Anniversary 370z just being unveiled (underwhelmingly) in the USA as a 2020 year model together with the Nismo only available now in White & Black across multiple markets we may be looking at 2020 being the final production year of the 370z.

GranTurismoEra Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 About time..... Although Id still buy a MY17/18 just for the experience. I dont think theyll release that in the UK. Quote
