Here's the problem with nitwits like you...you're under the deluded impression that all subjects of discussion are matters of opinion and that all opinions carry equal validity. Somewhat understandable, given the pervasive stupidity of the general culture, but wrong nonetheless.
That the Z is an iconic car isn't a matter of opinion, mine or otherwise. It's a reality supported by quantifiable facts:
First introduced in 1969, more than two million models of the Datsun/Nissan Z cars have been sold in 80+ countries to date, easily making it the most popular sports car in automotive history. Some of the most active and long-lived online communities are devoted the Z. In North America alone, there is a Z Car Club Association of more than 100 regional clubs whose purpose is for Z enthusiasts to meet and interact. Then there's the performance aspects of the cars to consider...Nissan has enjoyed a lot of success in the SCCA/IMSA racing circuits with the Z's. The twin-turbo Z32 dominated the GTS-1 class so badly in the early 90s that the governing IMSA changed their rules in 1995 to disallow the use of forced-induction engines.
So let's see...been around a long time, devoted following of owners and enthusiasts, won lots of professional races, sold more than any other sports car ever...yeah, I'd say the Z is pretty fucking iconic.
While you're certainly entitled to your opinion to the contrary because it's a Nissan, the facts plainly illustrate otherwise...which makes your opinion retarded. Class dismissed.
