The Beatles are still the iconic British rock band; not Def Leppard.
CocaCola is the iconic American softdrink; not Pepsi.

MJ might've had more hits than Elvis, Def Leppard could have sold more records than the Beatles and Pepsi might sit in more peoples refrigerators than Coke, but none of those facts changes anything about how they are perceived. Get the point?
Well, so far this generation it seems people want the Camaro moreso than the Mustang. It seems that perceptions change and labeling them as "fact" soley rests on what time period you are speaking of.
