Name 5 style/design icons
 
Please list/name 5 style/design icons below, anything from toasters to bikes to vacuum cleaners to cars... all within your objective opinion of course

Please make sure it is over 5 years old so we don't confuse the word "icon" with "fashion". The point will be revealed soon....

I'll start;

1) Citrroen DS
2) Omega Speedmaster (watch that went to the moon)
3) The mini skirt ;)
4) The BMX
5) Technics SL-1200 Mk2

Now your turn.

Keep them coming, I need a few more to make the analysis statistically reliable.

One I thought has to be included:

Ford Ka.

Not my cup of tea, but amazing how modern it still looks for a car design over 10 years old!
