What car for a Bank Robbery ??
Discussion
In a big city, then it's got to be a motorcycle of some description, most likely a Burgman/TMax or a big supermoto.
Heading out into the countryside, I guess it depends on the area in terms of a "blending in" point of view. In the Midlands, I'd say a Range Rover Sport, Jaguar XFR, RS6 Avant or Golf R Estate.

Not a car. Simply acquire an emergency ambulance... blues, twos, it's a ticket to ride all the way to the, er, bank?
For when the feds open the back doors (!) strap Dirty Doreen on the stretcher/trolley with bits exposed and shout loudly. You'd need the paramedic kit for veracity though.

The key isnt speed its deception! Best vehicle is a bin lorry. Who would question 4 lads in dirty high vis with a hopper full of black bin bags... one or two containing the loot. Cool as a cucumber drive away slow as you like 
Yes i have given this a little more thought than is probably healthy over the years

Hiding in plain sight is probably best. Have a 3 fast cars appear at the same time, and then head in different directions as a decoy.Yes i have given this a little more thought than is probably healthy over the years

Not so good if the Italian mafia get wind of your plan and destroy the cars. Perhaps three small nimble cars would be better suited to a city robbery. Poshbury said:
After I sold my V8 powered Mk3 Cortina, it was used in a gold bullion robbery in the 80's. It ended up in the GMP pound for a while.
It was eventually sold but was torched by scrotes up in Hattersley some time after.

For an actual car chase I'd pick a 2005 Impreza STI Prodrive widetrack with disabled airbags. For sneaking away you want something utterly generic, a 3yr old Astra diesel or Korean something-or-other.
Of course with the farcically stupid way the police operate the posters earlier suggesting bikes are quite correct. Any bike will do because if you don't wear a helmet the police will simply let you go, no need for anything fast or fancy. I wonder if the same could be made to apply with cars, just use a load of 3M sticky pads to stick one of the crew to the front bumper of a car then the police would just let you off scot free with the loot.

Or just a collection of police bikes? 10 bikes, split the loot, all running full lights.... split up and go off in pairs? Odds are you would get some of them out.

You don't need to rob a bank nowadays, it's all done on the internet from your living room armchair.
This, why take the risk, sit on the beach in Thailand armed with a MacBook and a steady supply of cold beers. A few hours a day doing internet scams should bring in 10k a day. If you get organised and busy, easy 20k a day.Little chance of getting caught and if you do, your getting a shorter stretch than you would for waving a shooter around a bank.
