Geek Alert! Help CNN pick the sci-fi car of the future
Throughout the years, the entertainment world has delivered numerous visions of what the car of the future will be. Flying cars are big, naturally, as are semi-automated machines like the Lexus Tom Cruise drives in Minority Report (on sale at eBay Motors for a Buy it Now price of $76,000) or the Audi featured in I, Robot. CNN is running a cool interactive poll where readers can rank ten pre-selected "future cars" in the order they feel best represents what the car of the future should be like. Personally, I lean more towards Rick Deckard's ride than that of, say, George Jetson. Bruce Willis' cab from The Fifth Element is up there on my list, too. But that's just me. Check out the poll, get your votes in, and feel free to tell us what your faves are in the comments.

At first looking at the Minority Report car on ebay I thought it was worth the money. But then when I looked at the other interior pictures and the engine bay it seems like it is way overpriced.

But Deckard's and Willis' vehicles look like adaptations of current cars, much like early cars looked a lot like horse drawn carriages. Wouldn't a vehicle that flew look like something better adapted to its environment, in the same way that a F1 car looks nothing like Model T? I think the prefence for familiar shapes is just a lack of imagination.

4 and 5 beat me to it..
We should all be driving the Lolas from THX-1138, and there might have been a Ferrarri P3/4 in there too, not to mention the Triumph and Norton bikes.
And Clockwork's ultra-bad Durango is just perfect for a night on the town with the friends...

What about the many land and land-air vehicles from the Star Wars series? There's a bunch of them.

Tron lightcycles, well I know they're not from the future and stuff but they are sci-fi cool. Motorcycles in Akira? Deathrace 2000? Road Warrior?

With the way trends have been in the past I would have said the 2000SUX from Robocop being the epitome of overlarge no-style behemoths. Thankfully, I think we are heading away from that.

They didn't include the supercar from The Island. The one Ewan McGregor's ORIGINAL drives. That was a nice model Cadillac.
