1) Aston Martin ‘Vanish’

Die Another Day, 2002
Brosnan’s final outing as Bond finally got 007 back into Astons. Promptly ruined by absurd invisi-car gadget.
2) Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder

2 Fast 2 Furious, 2003
Well, nothing screams gritty street racing like a stickered-up purple front-wheel-drive Mitsubishi Targa-top.
3) Ford Mondeo

Casino Royale, 2006
Thanks to naff Ford product placement in Bond flicks, Daniel Craig’s debut was almost derailed by a repmobile.
4) Gadgetmobile

Inspector Gadget, 1999
A self-driving, fast-talking, purple-dashed Lincoln Continental. The Jar-Jar Binks of movie cars.
5) Volvo C30

Twilight, 2008
Because when you’re a surly immortal vampire, you’d choose to mope about in a Volvo hatchback, obviously.
