Autocar - icon of icons

[mik]

CLIKs.

They are all teh icon but now you can vote on teh iconestest of the lot! I think JL petitioned them to do this.

Gwaredd is going to hate this:

[NotoriousREV]

I also hated that. It's like when people call Series Land Rovers "Defenders".

[Jobbo]

But the Suzukis known as SJ over here were always called Jimny in their home market. It's like Miatas and MX5s. Both names are equally valid.

A Defender badge was not used on the series LRs so is demonstrably incorrect.

I'd argue that it's only a Miata if it's a US spec MX5. An MX5 is not a Eunos Roadster

[scotta]

i could only see one choice...

[GG.]

So we all voted for our own car

[Mito Man]

Nope.

[GG.]

So you didn't vote for the land rover because it hadn't been lowered and had its number plate in the correct place?

[Mito Man]

I didn’t bother voting at all

Apathetic millenial

Mustang, Mini, and possibly Beetle are the only 'iconic' ones there IMO

[NotoriousREV]

Pathetic, even by millenial standards

This.

The Lotus/Caterham 7 is not iconics?

The 911 is not iconics?

The Defender and those that went before it are not iconics?

But the what the who when why where?

This seems unrealistic

Pete has the Beetle on his list.

Lotus 7 isn’t iconic because a) it’s not that popular and b) didn’t really change the world.

911 hasn’t spawned any rear-engined copycats other than the Skoda Estelle. So, no dice. The Beetle spawned the 911 so it is iconic.

The Mustang and the Mini both set the template for their respective market segments. The Mini with its transverse engine and gearbox revolutionised small, family cars. The Mustang created the Pony car and, later, the muscle car.

Defender is a copy of the original jeeps, so the jeep is iconic, the Land Rover not.

Yay! we’re back to disagreeing again!
