I rented Ronin on Victor's recommendation, and I do recall them asking specifically for an Audi S8 as their escape car. Just in case you are not familiar with the big Audi very limited edition aluminum-bodied dual-turbo all-wheel-drive S8---nobody can touch it. I own a poor cousin to it (with the S4 drivetrain). Wicked fast, and untouched in slippery corners. They had to ban them from the motorcross. Sorta like fishing with dynamite.You can have your loud-mouthed Cameros and Mustangs. I'll take that German engineering every time. This is a class movie--calls for a class car. Remember the Austin-Martin built for 007? Can you imagine him driving a Dodge Charger? or an Impalla SS with a jacked-up back end? or even a Ferrarri? No, the Austin Martins are hand-built to fit only the owner--every car is different. You have to go to the factory for a "fitting", just as you would for a suit on 'Kings Row". You can't buy a "used" Austin Martin--they bury them with the owner. That's a class act.
Oh--that reminds me. There was one with a Dodge Super Bee...a robbery in a grocery store and they get away in a chevy impalla and then switch to the Dodge and duck into the Walnut Groves while the cops chase them in a helicopter--they have a cop radio...and end up in front of a train...
And then a classic...Blue Highways...with Peter Fonda and Warren Oats. Fonda drives a '57 chevy and Oats has a GTO. They race all across the country. One of Warren Oats best films (hondo, the cowboy with the dog..).
