The Best Ever Talking Cars

 

Knight Industries Three Thousand AKA KITT(Knightrider)

the hoff

In the  1980s, if the Hoff wasn’t discretely  hiding his crotch with a strategically placed leather jacket he was chatting  to his customized  car but KITT was so much more than  a car..He was alternatively a raconteur, spiritual guide, warrior  but he was always best buds   to a distressed young billionaire that had lost his face in a terrible gun accident.

The Knight Industries 3000 stood(should that be parked?) by Micheal through thick and thin.

Whether he was turning on the afterburners, finding info on the local heavies  or jumping small rural canyons KITT was reliable,clever and brave.

The ultimate CAR-tner

The BatMobile(The Dark Knight)cockpit

Another Billionaire industrialist whose life was so devoid of meaning he built a communicative car just to have something to banter with.

When he returned home  after  his “gap year” which he spent  picking  and smoking blue flowers up the side of a Tibetan hill  and just before he started fighting clowns  he decided to manufacture  the ultimate crime-fighting machine.

Definitely the most boring in terms of personality but  I wouldn’t mess with it either.

Batmans`  famous “no gun” policy does not extend to his wheels as this particular model contains immobilizer missile launchers , a Vulcan gun, a 60mm cannon, and a riot suppressor gun with rubber bullets. also  rocket launchers, and a 200 RPM tranquilizer-firing machine guns.

Herbie(The Love Bug)

herbie

A Born Racer and noted Self-starter Herbie was also very good craic for a German and its hard not to respect something that had Lindsey Lohan sitting inside it for months without driving itself off a cliff

What Herbie lacked in sophistication and  verbalisation ability he made up for in character and adorableness

Sure, he couldn’t TALK but you name me a Volkswagen Beatle who COMMUNICATES as well as this little fellow

As #53 would say in his own irascible way  “Beep Beep”

 

Lightning McQueen (Cars)cars_d1846dfd-67ae-4

Like all anthropomorphic computer-generated toy adverts  produced by Pixar, Lightning McQueen needed to learn a valuable life lesson before the end of the film.

Though he started off as a brash arrogant care-free roadster, an incident in Radiator Springs involving his tow truck  and friend Mackey transformed his outlook on life and turned him into the smart sweet and soulful car we all grew to love.

Optimus Prime(Transformers)

Transformers The Ride - 3D Grand Opening Celebration

If you were to  strip away all the  intergalactic battling, amazing leadership to an endangered species,level-headedness  under pressure in the face of unyielding adversity , the sophisticated extra-terrestrial robtics and cool flaming paint job…..Optimus Prime is a boring old man made of tin.

Benny the Cab (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?)

Benny was loud,  rude and  inconsiderate to other road users. He seemed unsure of quickest possible routes and talked incessantly about things he clearly didn’t understand. In many ways,the perfect on-screen representation of Taxi Culture

Little Green Cars

Should they even qualify for this list ?A controversial choice.

Well they mightn’t talk but they do sing and they are good at it and I like them so they made the list…SHUT-UP
