Oh yeah: I'm not criticising the choices! :) It's a good list.
Quite surprised at the number of folks who like that horrid AMC though. It's got no style.
Interesting to see the actual jump car here though:

Lets see which vehicle comes out on top!
Of those 3: Mustang on the strip from DAF, the Steve McQueen Bullitt choice.
Thanks, @thedove !
I'm not keen on the stunt, mainly because it's ruined by the slidewhistle. I just like the car!
I gotta say, I’m very perplexed by the love the Alfa is getting. It looks like any other genetic car from the 1980s. So plain. So boxy. So boring. The only car that’s less impressive is all those Audi’s that seemed most prevalent during John Glen’s run. Heck, it even features considerably in his 2001 film THE POINT MEN. Was the Audi a John Glen thing?
I think it's a cool stunt, regardless of the stupid slidewhistle. But just judging the car: c'mon, it's an AMC. Nothing worth writing home about here...
*Drool*
100% agree.
It's such an underrated chase in series, IMO.
Now that I watch that, I just realized that the German police is the only police department in a Bond film that is not shown to be utterly incompetent. lol
My pick would have to be the Hornet, just because of the stunt and knowing how big of a deal it was. Otherwise, I'd go for the Alfa or the Mustang chase. The Alfa Romeo is refreshingly back-to-basics good (also note my comment above regarding the Polizei) and the Mustang chase is glitzy and glamorous.
As I said... It is listed quite clearly that we are judging the car and not the circumstance it is being used...
If you want to vote for the stunt, I am sure you will get a chance later on at some point...
I know we’re judging it on the car and not the chase, but that is a lovely one I agree. It’s a rare high speed chase in a Bond film and features some lovely precision driving by everyone.
In fact the only other time I can think of when you see Bond getting flat out in a car is probably when the AMC is driving along the river.
And that car... lovely Italian cool.
The Mustang is a decent one: it’s the last good looking one: thank heavens they made DAF when they did and not a couple of years later with the next model or Bond would have been driving this!
Did anyone see the awesome way they exhibit it at the Bond in Motion show? So clever to use projection in this way (it also disguised what terrible condition it’s in! Those aren’t real reflections)
If its the former I go with the mustang, but the lattter is definitely the Alfa!!
Car only
