Dukes of Hazzard: What car.

[Milkyway]

Scenario;
Another remake of the ‘ Dukes of Hazzard’ is in the pipeline.
Because of the shortage of the iconic Chargers, a replacement has to be found.
Any car... Don’t have to be American, or even sold there.
It’s for a Worldwide release.
What would you choose?

(Extra Bruce bonus points for casting suggestions too)

Cybertruck

Wouldn’t they smash the windows getting in?

Why don’t they just use a convertible.

why bother?

Indeed the years have not been kind, the Dukes now cook up crystal meth to maintain an income, opiate-addicted Daisy is played by Lindsey Lohan missing some teeth and Boss Hogg is Donald Trump.

A bit like Braking Bad;
Bo & Luke: Ant & Dec... Bo would be high, & not just in the car.
Daisy: Katie Price
Jesse Duke: Keith Richards
Boss Hogg: Simon Cowell.
Cameo: Johnny Depp.

Had thought about the Prius... not sure about the big jumps though.

If it's a remake then presumably it's set in current time, in which case surely:

Possible... With proceeds from their previous drug deals.
( Certainly a spin on the original)

Are we keeping the Confederate flag on the roof?

Original General Lee livery...
(As long as it doesn’t cause offence)

I believe the confederate flag is classed as a 'hate symbol' and widely associated with racism so I would say yes, it's likely to cause offence.

I think so... a quick Google makes interesting reading.

Why not avoid the controversy and just set it in the UK instead?

A blue car with gold stars on the roof. I can't see anyone getting offended by that.

Feasible... One less now, more to follow.
Scalextric don’t seem too concerned about the confederate flag.

I did see that... obviously they wasn’t aware of the Flags history either.
Perhaps just a big ‘01’ on the roof then.
So, I take it that the name, General Lee is taboo as well.
So... a remake looks doubtful then.
( in this form).
Anyway.... We need a bright orange something.

Pretty much, given that he was the leader of the Confederate Army.

They could call the car the Bob Generally, or Bob for short.

‘BOBB’

Or... Gemma / Jenna Lee
