The list, particularly the inclusion of an anime car is a joke.

I nominate "The Yellow Rolls Royce" and the green car owned by Nina Foch in
"An American In Paris".
It may have been a French "DeLarge" or something like that.

The one I admire the most is the Astin Martin in one of the later
James Bond films. Not only was it invisible but it didn't leave tire
marks in the snow! How'd it do that?

Mrs. Peel's Jag in the film version of the Avengers. I just have
always liked XKEs.

The time traveling DeLorean from Back to the Future. But the time
traveling locomotive from the end of the third movie was even cooler.

The Batmobile from the new Batman films.

The Minis may have gotten all the attention, but the real star's the
Lamborghini Miura that meets an unfortunate end in the opening sequence.
Pure sex on wheels.

Wouldn't say that. The London to Brighton rally still takes place in
exactly the same way as portrayed in the film.
