What kind of car do M&S drive in the show?
Amy Lozano
So, does anyone have any idea of the kind of car Mulder and Scully drive
on the show (the car issued them by the FBI, I mean)?

And how convenient for CC&Co ... they could slip this into an episode.
SCENE: M&S are sitting in the car, discussing the case, when the car
"mysteriously" catches fire, the dynamic duo run from the burning car
and just when they get a safe distance away, it blows up and M&S both
fall to the ground. A few seconds later ...
Mulder: "You all right, Scully?"
Scully: "I think so ... how about you?"
Mulder: "I'm OK ... Now that's something new, Spontaneous Automobile
Combustion ..."
Scully: <sigh> "No, Mulder, it's just a Ford."
...and then CC&Co will have to look to GM or Chrysler for complimentary
free car use.

I would guess Taurus.
But, don't they drive different makes?

Don't Scully & Mulder always drive rental cars? Well, most of the time.
They're always travelling & whenever you see them they're in a different
vehicle. Plus, wouldn't the FBI just give them any car that was
available, not always a specific one?

That's right -- I can't remember a time when Mulder and Scully were
not driving an early 90's Ford Taurus. The color changes a lot,
though.

Actually, if you look closely...they've recently been driving Ford Crown
Victorias...(a workhorse for most law enforcement agencies)

God help me for knowing this, but I believe M&S usually get a Ford Taurus
from the depot. At least, that's what it looks like. Taurus is the #1
choice of gov't fleets everywhere, so this is pretty accurate, if, in
fact, I'm correctly identifying the car.

They had a blue Intrepid once and several diffrent Lumina's.

Yeah right. Like you need to have a keen eye to identify the Taurus. :)
Yup. Taurus it is...if they did not sneak in a Mercury Sabre once in a while.
Big difference. :) ...and Crown Victoria. All Ford. All boring as hell.
at least Magnum PI had a 348 (Ferrari 348 that is)
another curious things is that all the cars DD drives are so...new! Hmm.

likely rentals, or supposed to be. you fly across country, and get a
rental. the fbi motor pool is large, but i seriously doubt there are
extra pool sedans just waiting for visiting agents. :>

Probably, on a side note...
Dispite the fact they are Fedral agents, arn't the firearms
they carry non standard? I saw M with a Glock 17L and a Walther
PPK (I think). He loves his guns! :) - although I can only
remember S carrying a S+W.
Peace and hot chocolate for all.

Well, at home in her own personal car, Scully has a Chevy Cavalier. Its blue
and we see it in Paper Clip. Don't know what Fox drives, though. Maybe
a VW Fox? In war of the coprophages he was in a Crown Vic in Mass during'his
time off.... d'ya think that was his car or a fleet car?
Their rentals haven't ben all Fords, though. In the first season we can see
them
running around in GM products like a Buick Century or an Olds(Deep Throat).

Good one. Fox...Hehehe....

See, that is the thing. Mulder is not driving as cool a car that goes with his
obviously GQ-level clothing....BMW is more like it...a nice M5 for some chase scenes...
<drool>
You can do the miami vice thing as to HOW a special agent can affort a $60.000 car. :)

Hmm, this is the first time a person called a Ferrari "little". :)
Yup, It is teeny. A two seater with no back seats.
but it is also a rocket. Over 350horses sit right behind your ears.
Wrroooooooooooom. Whoosh. Gone. :)
There is a saying: You will never see the FRONT of a Ferrari while it is moving.
Profound, huh?

it seems to me like they are ALWAYS driving rented Fords...it's become a
habit for me to notice the blue ford symbol on the front of every car
they drive!

Sure enough. Here is one way to lose Ford rather quickly as a sponsor:
Let a few bad guys drive around in spanking new Taurus doing some
memorable atrocity. THEN, we can get those fine folks from Zuffenhausen
sign up. :)

I don't know what they're driving now, but if there's any justice in this
world, Mulder would drive a SATURN and Scully would drive a PROBE!
