I think Max's ride was an Aussie Ford Falcon, as were the pursuit vehicles. Some of the movie's cars could have been Holden's as well. There's one shot of one with an MB front end in the diner parking lot where Goose is eating during the initial pursuit with the Night Rider. Yes I have probably seen that movie more than any other movie ever made. There are tons of Falcons of different vintages throughout the film. Hey, how about that groovy van with the round window Max takes his family in?

My favorites in movies? Probably the Miura in the original Italian Job. Such a great scene. I also love the Astons from the Bond movies, even the Dalton films with what I think is a Vantage. The MB in Ronin is cool, but I confess I like the Audi better. Ronin has some great cars, and Natasha McElhone, all great to look at.
