I will respectfully disagree. The tuxedo is an old design but it is what we call timeless. It will always look good. Porsche has not changed their overall theme of their cars because the lines work. I love the concept you posted, it does not need to be ultra-modern to be stylish.
Trouble is, everyone these days pushes to become the most stylish rather than the most timeless. This is why we have the Miley Cyruses and Justin Biebers of the world who will be forgotten in 20 years while people and culture still recognize the Marilyn Monroes and Fred Astaires.
It is like the dark times of the automotive world, from 1974-1986 when the west fell out of love with cars. Now we love them too much and expect cars to have computers, GPS, blue tooth, yaw control, backup cameras, heated seats, 200 page operating manuals with 50 pages alone on the pop up screen and every function. 600+ hp yet speed limits have not changed, it is like passion for cars is buried under the demand for gimmicks.
Last time I went looking at cars, everything in the interior looked too nice to touch.
