So the original Datsuns are the "icons" the cars that opened the flood gates for Japanese cars.
However it was Toyota with their range of sports cars that did it for me: MR2, Celica, Supra. But the Hi-Lux will get as many votes as any sports car because it did for pick ups what the Datsun did for cars - lets face it it is an "iconic" vehicle in its own right and can be found everywhere round the world regardless of terrain.

They didn't however have particularly good looking cars back in the beginning....
