In regards to reliability, serviceability, repairability, part availability, etc?

Like is there a vehicle today that we will see 30 years in the future with no quit?

Subaru BRZ / Toyota 86 as far as sports cars go. They still have that 90s-esq simplicity. No hybrid, no turbo, mostly manual trans, RWD, great fuel economy, cheap to own, very easy to work on, massive aftermarket support, and are still being made.
