IMO, an "old car" is one old enough that they're not seen on the street much anymore, yet they aren't old (or cool) enough for nostalgia to render them "vintage".
Here's an old car:
Hell, my SVX is 17 years old, and it's really not missing anything that a brand new $30,000 car has... it's just got a lot of miles on it and looks like it's from the 90's. But I'd have a hard time calling it "an old car", and if a 17 year old SVX is only borderline... then a 2002 WRX isn't "old". A bone stock '02 WRX is still faster than a lot of cars being sold today.
But the real point here is probably that
I'm old now apparently... so a 10 year old WRX doesn't seem all that ancient. I bought my '02 WRX brand new in 2001... it's in my garage right now... when I drive it, it sure doesn't feel like an old car to me. Maybe I need to buy a new car to see what I'm missing?
