Come on Mike - it was the original prototype for Q stuffing the Bondmobiles with more crap than a Christmas Goose. lol

I realised what a terrible list that was when I saw the 3 BMW mini in there from the remake of the Italian job, when there wasn\'t a sight of the original Mini I pretty much gave up from there onwards.
Problem with lists like this is \"yes\" they are fun to make, everyone has a pretty much good idea on what car beats what etc, but no one can EVER say that <Car X> is gonna be the best, in this case it was the De Lorean. I\'m not sure why that Street racer car is there, looks utter crap compared to the rest of them.
And America, don\'t hate me here, but the Dukes \"General Lee\" is a ghastly car and imo shouldn\'t be in the top 10 let alone the top 5. The 68 Ford Mustang GT390 is how ever a much more loving car, imo.

The cars from perhaps the two greatest \'car movies\' of all time - Vanishing Point and Gone In 60 Seconds - languishing in the 40s. What a travesty.

Hey now, don\'t be dissing the General. Great car, great looking. :drunk:

I\'m gonna have to leave work early to view the list, they have whatever site it is blocked. :drunk:

I love american muscle cars even though the sad truth is that by todays standards they all suck - they make me emotional...

But there are loads of much better cars than some in the list... that sleek looking thing from the dodgy 80\'s film wraith, The Trotters Reliant Robin, The monkey Mobile! The cool looking Audi from iRobot or the apc from aliens?

No cars from The French connection, or Ronin?

No Yamura from Grand Prix?

How about the cab from \"Taxi Driver\"?

Yeah, these lists are all subjective, so you can\'t complain too much. But come on, the General Lee is from a TV show, made into an awful movie. Should\'nt even be considered.

Well, if you remember that the 70\'s muscle car was all about going in a strait line very fast they\'re not that bad - just don\'t try to turn one at speed.lol

Now that was a tasty Motor
or the apc from aliens? Which was built around an aircraft tow truck frame IIRC. You can see the original shape in the \"New\" Cadburys Chocolate add.(*)




(* that add\'s a bit ironic considering the state of Heathrow\'s Terminal 5)

There, I got to see the list at home. IMHO the Bluesmobile should be moved up the list to the top 10 (not it\'s 11th place). :drunk:

I noticed that they listed the 1977 Trans-Am as used in both Smokey and the Bandit I and II. This is not the case. In II Burt drove a 1980 Trans-Am which was a special edition vehicle with, as I recall, an 8.2l engine. This is also one of my favorite cars of all time (not movie car, but car I would like to own) taking a second seat only to the Porsche 959.
