I wanted it to be on the list when I clicked on the link but I was surprised to see how high it was!


Most-Iconic-Cars-of-the-Past-25-Years: Personal Finance News from Yahoo! Finance

I'm surprised the Corvette didn't make this list.

The author's premise is ill defined; iconic to whom, the manufacturer, the automotive world, society as a whole? The Elise is iconic to Lotus today and the Mini to Mini (duh), but these are rooted in the past, the Miata and Beetle as well. The Prius is more the general icon of a new automotive (stereo)type so perhaps it should be number one.

Seems like he has a preference for roadsters and sports cars.

I didn't realise Thomson designed the S2 body. I could have sworn someone else did. :shrug:

IMO since they didn't list the F40 and the McLaren F1 as two of the most Iconic cars of the past 25 years, they don't know what the hell an Iconic car is. To me it looks like they just pulled names of cars out of a hat for this list.

The author might as well have put an S2000 in there while he was at it.

I hate these lists and this has to be one of the worst ones I've seen yet. I dont know why people must try to quantify things that are entirely subjective. Oh, wait, yeah I do. So they can sell magazines or get hits to their site.

Pretty much. We have the right to not view it though.

Stupidest article ever.

Without a doubt amigo!

Stupidest article ever.

Author should have looked up the meaning of the word... iconic.

But I just HAD to see who was THE definitive, undisputed, derived as statistical fact, most iconic car of the last 25 years!


The only other thing that makes me cringe more are the Rolling Stone best songs/albums/guitarists/ect. of all time lists.

I bet the Corvette fanboys are hating on this list more than we are...
