Untill I read this thread, I never even heard of a Syline, so icon it's not.

I agree 100%. I know alot of people including myself that had never even heard of a Skyline until it hit video games in the late 80's early 90's. The Z cars made a much larger impact (at least in the U.S.). When I think of icon, I think of great significance and definitely legendary, the Z cars are both.

The Supra begins it's life in 65' with the 2000GT.



This topic is subjective to us here on this side of the Pacific but putting myself in there shoes I vote for the Skyline. I'm not motivated to argue as I see remarkable success in each auto respectively. God willing I would get my hands on each and everyone one of them.

I think you're judging them only by track performance. I'm judging them in a more overall sense. I think that Honda makes great vehicles overall. They're high quality, reliable, and get great mileage.

I also think the S2000 is an excellent performance vehicle. It has all the qualities listed above, has by all accounts one of slickest shifting gearboxes ever, and looks good. Would I choose an S2000 for an all out track car? The answer is no. I agree that for track purposes a Vette is definitely the best bang for buck. That doesn't mean the S2000 is a shit box though.

They also make great lawn mowers.

I am surprised that you have not brought up the fact that Honda builds all the Indy Car engines anymore.
