(Assuming you take notice of what's happening behind you) Which car, in your opinion, has the best rear-view mirror presence?

The one that actually makes you think, 'you know what, I think I'll just pop into the middle lane to get out of the way rather than actually try and take this one on' (when on a motorway obviously).

Almost all Mitsubishis look very, very angry when coming up behind you.

Ford Transit. I know it's not a car, but it's got the most presence.

Or, once, a foreign Artic behind me at 70....

Hummers. Look like they're about to run your car over

I had a new GTR appear as if by magic behind me yesterday and I have to say I got out of his way sharpish....that's why I started the thread as it got me thinking.

I also think the original M3 has presence too.

Back in thier day I always thought the ur quattro looked menacing as it appeared in the
rear view mirror, with its low wide stance.
Today with all the modern styling it is hard to pick any one (everyday) car that has the same effect.

I think this seems to adequately represent a polite "excuse me":

some friends have one of these - people seem to get out of the way quite quickly.

I used to own a white 24v Senator.

It was THE best car I've ever had for carving through traffic and getting people out of lanes 2 and 3!!

(And that was about five years after the BiB stopped using them. Seems the image of the 'chipcutter' was firmly planted in the psyche of the less attentive motorist.)

I originally thought that about my Z32, but noone seems to pay it much attention. If anything muppets in TypeR Civics, Range Rovers and white vans seem to want to drive in front of me more. irked
