Top Ten Best Movie Cars Rule!

The latest movies of today sure had displayed a lot of great vehicles. But when you come to think of it, the old movie cars still rule the list of the best movie cars of all time. The results of the survey from Cars.com declared the top ten best movie cars of this year.

Still on the number one spot is the DeLorean DMC-12. Who could ever forget this time traveling car from the "Back to the Future" flicks? Hell no! And this year, three new entries are in and they replaced the previous placers from last year's list. Let’s check out who made it and retained their titles this year on Cars.com's list of Top Ten Best Movie Cars for 2007!

"When we came up with our list of Top 10 Movie Cars last summer, we had no idea our readers would be so passionate about their favorite car films," said Patrick Olsen, the managing editor of Cars.com. "With 'Transformers' arriving on the big screen, we revisited our list - listening to last year's reader feedback - and determined once again which cars deserved to make the top 10. Some cars were able to hold on to their spots, while others were shuffled to make room for more-worthy contenders. With 'Speed Racer' hitting the big screen next year, expect another round of evaluation."
