So what qualifies as car as an Icon? Many great cars have come and gone in North America over the years, such as the Countach, Viper, Supra, Chevelle, Cobra, etc. But the question is, where they truly icons?

Also, being that we live in North America, we are only dealing with icons that made it to our shores.
