I'm not so sure cars of 20 years from now will be significantly different. My '88 Thunderbird is almost 20 years old. It has a turbo 4 cylinder and all the stuff a typical modern car has. Power everything, ABS, multiport fuel injection, modern emissions controls, etc. Aside from the styling and safety ietms (no airbags) it's not much different from most cars of today.
As for design, given the trend of retro styling and SUV+car hybrids, I think 1940s era designs might make somewhat of a comeback.
