Also, you can follow it up at Christmas with the Bob’s Burgers tribute to Duel, Christmas in the Car.

You’d think they’d have learned their lesson after Scion. It reminds me of the recent ads I’ve seen from Honda online - a campaign that just screams they’ve no idea what a young looks like, have no idea how to sell something to a person that doesn’t have a mortgage and a robust 401k, and their ad team have done all…

Now THAT’S the sequel that outshines its predecessor. Can’t wait!

Doesn’t look far to the Lane Motor Museum from the scrap yard. Maybe some local Jalop’s could nip them over?

I think that’d work for me more if it was a newer generation. I get loyalty, but the van is almost older than the kids are, and it doesn’t fit with the rest of the trappings of their old life. From what I remember, they had a very, very nice suburban house in Chicago, and their phones, laptops, and apparel all suggest…

One thing I never like about the car casting in the show was the family’s Honda minivan. It’s gotta be at least 15 years old at the start of the show, and I’d get it if they bought it after the move to the Ozark’s, but they brought it with them from Chicago, where they were very clearly upper-middle class, so it seems…

Didn’t you also have a plan to steal a space shuttle? Assuming that was successful, could that be utilized? I mean, I figure you pulled that first heist off.

Seriously. This list is simply incomplete without a purple TVR

I just got back from visiting my family in Scotland and driving a manual rental car. Maybe it’s because I’m left-handed but it was like riding a bike after 5 years driving automatic in the US - completely natural.

If TV shows can be included on this list, Halt and Catch Fire is a fascinating use of cars speaking to character evolution.

Infiniti. Only Infiniti makes convertible.

Spielberg and his collaborators are the kind of filmmakers I love, as they understand that things like cars speak to a character’s... ahem, character, as much as mannerisms and clothing.

There was quite the trend of luxing up city cars in the 80's - and my favorite remains the ERA Turbo

I think Tomorrow Never Dies holds up (Goldeneye is still king of the Brosnan’s). The plot is ludicrous, but it manages to ride the line between fun action and cheese really well.

That was part of my driving lessons in the UK back in the day (20ish years ago) - coming to a halt on a hill and then moving off again in first without stalling. It works.

Seriously. They’re taking a massive leaf outta the Porsche playbook here.

As much as I love the Lotus Carlton, I don’t get it’s inclusion on this list. Maybe it’s because I grew up admiring them, and know what a boggo Carlton should look like, but this to me is not a slow looking car.

Each to their own, but to me, it’s a dull action flick with the title of one of the 20th century’s seminal works of science fiction. And while I think it would be a superior work serialized on TV, a decent director and co could have made something better than a vehicle for Will Smith to yell ‘aww hell naw’ for the…
