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 original minis are on the list, thankfully higher up than the remakes.

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.
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.

(* 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.
