Hollywood's top-grossing automotive starlets of 2005? Glad you asked...
Forbes' automotive listmeister Nate Chapnick has been at it again. This time, he's chronicled the top 10
vehicles in 2005's highest-grossing movies. Automobiles enjoyed a good year in Hollywood, from buxom Jessica Simpson's
cavorting around in a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon in the Dukes Of Hazzard redux; to the his-and-hers Cadillac CTS-V
and Mercedes-Benz C320 Wagon featured in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. But it wasn't all about more spirited iron...
Katie Holmes Tom Cruise helped save the earth with a little help from a workaday Plymouth Voyager in
War of the Worlds, and Steve Carell's 40 Year Old Virgin had audiences
doubled-over with that drunken PT Cruiser-driving barfly.
Chapnick and Co. must've popped more than a few bowls of popcorn, as in order to compile the list, it was deemed necessary to screen the 25 top-grossing U.S. films of last year to see which "most effectively integrated the vehicles into the storyline."

The best film which integrated the vehicles into the storyline is Christina based on a story by S. King.

How could you mention Mr. and Mrs. Smith and not talk about the Chrysler T&C minivan they drove in the chase sequence!? Talk about integrating the vehicle into the story --- they highlighted the dual power sliding doors by having a henchman jump in one side, only to be tossed straight through and out the other door.
Brilliant! and not even mentioned in the article... You sure Chapnick watched these movies? Maybe he just read press releases...
