If you were world dictator...

Remember, all of these cars weigh in excess of 3 tons.

Actually, the Toyota. It looks really sophisticated. The Peugeot must have some serious issues, the 607 is FWD.

[SVT_Power]

quattroporte is the most stylish but I think I want to be just about sure that I won't die in a car so I chose brack obama's tank of a limo

Also, Jintao rides in a 7-series. Or a Roewe..........not too sure.

[Cookie Monster]

None.

I was only using their home market cars they all definitely use in national pride parades and whatnot.  If you can find him in a Roewe, prove it.

[the Teuton]

None.

Then you will be killed.  Someone will quickly overthrow you for world dictator.  It sucks to be you.  You don't rule with an iron fist.  You rule with a limp wrist.

[Eye of the Tiger]

That four-door Italian job.

That Hongqi was never produced. Seems like he's in a series of cars.

I'll take a nice Maybach 62S plox.

[the Teuton]

I'm only using nationalist cars.  It has been recorded that he rode in a last gen Hong Qi.

As for me, it was down between the ZIL and the Caddy, and I just have a feeling that as badass as the ZIL is, the Caddy is better.

You are too ostentatious.  When your countrymen are starving, you'll be driving around in your Maybach.  Your servants will kill you.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Wait... can I have a Tatra T700?



Rear-mounted air-cooled V8! 

[the Teuton]

Did the Serbian president use one?  If so, I'll add it.

They can't kill me as long as I'm in mah car.

[the Teuton]

Face it, you're dead.  You might as well just step on a roadside bomb.

And the Maserati isn't ostentatious? I'll take the ZIL.

Screw the Ruski, gimme one of them RR Silver Wraiths!

[Payman]

One of these, with baby seal upholstery and pepper spray dispensers:

[Vinsanity]

What? No RR Phantom? I was kinda expecting the UK Prime Minister to have one.

Although the Phantom would probably be my obvious choice, there's a certain appeal to oldies like the original Mercedes 600 and 1970's LWB Cadillac Fleetwood.

Actually, if it weren't for the pesky assassination attempts, I'd like me one of these:

[SVT666]

A fortified Mustang....K.I.T.T.

Yeah, but in black or dark blue.

Actually, the British royal family has a few RRs. Of course.

Haha, the Australian PM rides in the front seat of a barely-modified Holden Caprice.

There's an excellent story in Wheels from the late '70s about Editors Robinson and Cropley simply driving up to the front door of the Prime Minister's residence in a then-new Ford LTD Silver Monarch and inviting PM Malcolm Fraser out for a test-drive. He agreed, and the trio spent the day scything around the Canberra backstreets and nearby countryside. I'm sure Fraser road-tested the Commodore at some stage during its 1978 launch, too.

As for the matter at hand, the ZIL and Toyota Century are impossibly cool, and sufficiently menacing so as to fit the persona of a ruthless dictator. Kennedy's '61 Lincoln convertible would be a fine choice, too, although there would probably be some concern about bird excrement on the seats and assassins' bullets.

[Byteme]

I voted other.  I'd want what I have now, with Maybe a Ford GT thrown in just for grins.

The Caddy. It's a tarted-up tank, for all intents and purposes.

If I was a benevolent dictator that everyone loved I'd ride around in something else, but barring that I'd want as much protection as possible.

For a long time the Canadian PM rode around in an early '90s Cadillac limousine. Now he's upgraded to a DTS, bog-standard unlike his counterpart to the south. The Governor General is driven in an older Lincoln Town Car.

It's been a couple years since I've seen the Albertan Premier and Lieutenant-Governor's cars, but back then they had a Buick Allure and Chrysler 300C, respectively.

Tsk. Your mass extermination efforts are obviously not effective if you require such extreme security. Minus five badass points.

[93JC]

I'm extremely paranoid. Like Stalin. :)
