with the average age of cars on us roads now at a record 11 point four years and by the way climbing's nearly 12 years old by 2019 we clearly don't have a problem with old cars these days i'm brian coolie with the top five cars you're likely to be in 12 years from now cars that run seemingly forever according to data from RL pulk which is basically the Bible of this kind of research these are cars by the way I'm taking out trucks and big SUVs which tend to last forever anyway and that's another video number five the Nissan Maxima the max can trace its roots back to the mid 70s when its father the Datsun 810 rather godly roamed our streets by the time it got the oddly Roman maxima name in 1980 it was one of the first Nissan's to use any American parts namely from General Motors number four is the Honda Odyssey this is quite an achievement because the Odyssey only dates back to 1994 but that honda reliability has made up for lost time in the market this is where fold-flat rear seats were invented by the way most recently Odysseys innovations have veered off toward a built in shop vac which I find oddly wonderful number three the Toyota Avalon I have a secret hunch that if you also ranked cars by average owner age the Avalon might be number one it had old-school oddities for a Toyota like a front bench seat and a column shifter who's that aimed at however your grandparents may have to now shop for a used Crown Vic because the Avalon got all sexed up last year dovey Ventoux one number two is the Subaru Legacy soubise parent company has roots in buses train cars and garbage trucks I don't believe they know how to make something that breaks combine that with the fact that sube buyers for whom driving something old and worn just fits the look and you have a tag team almost surprised it doesn't add up to number one except that would mean bumping the honda accord are number one when the Accord launched it was a sensation the question for a year or two wasn't would you be buying an Accord simply how much you were willing to bribe the dealer to allocate you won the Civic had already established that you'd be getting one tough ride only now with room and great looks borrowed from the classic Scirocco generation one damn making myself want one by the way the Camry the best-selling car ahead of the Accord and from the company that most folks equate with durability wouldn't quite make our list it would come in at number six for top five list to wait the car lover go to see Nachman cars calm went on top five
