Casting (for cars!)
Discussion
What are the cars/bikes that you think are particularly well cast for characters in film/tv?
A few that I find particularly good from films I've seen recently:
RS6 for Daniel Craig in Layer Cake - summed up the wealthy, modern, not-too-showy, classy and intelligent entrepeneur.
TT for Hugh Grant in About a Boy - shallow image-conscious tool
Classic 911 driven by Bob Redford in Spy Game

There are some interesting ones in the Bond films.
The DB5 obviously was good, as is the DBS (Hope he gets the new saloon/coupe thing soon though). The Z3 in Goldeneye was shocking.
Jason Bournes jeep thing in the middle Bourne film is good; un-individual, practical, reliable.
I also really liked the old Land Rover that Stallone drove in Cliffhanger! And the Jeep that the two kids had.
I liked the Triumph Speed triple that trinity was briefly seen on in the Matrix too. (Mmmm, leathers).

Morgan Freeman as Alex Cross had the same classic 911 with fuchs alloys in, now was it Kiss The Girls and/or Along Came A Spider, but the best of course, and who looks cool in any car would be the same 911, & King of Cool, Steve McQueen in the intro to Le Mans, of course, the Bullitt GT350 Mustang.A few that I find particularly good from films I've seen recently:

Gene Hunt... Red Audi Quatro!
Sorry but I find that totally wrong. It is not an appropriate pool car and if its supposed to be his car (I don't watch the series) he could not afford it on his salary.The Mk3 Cortina in Life On Mars was perfect though.
The Audi in Ronin I thought was appropriate. Quick and subtle.
