   Lamborghini Huracan
2. Bugatti Veyron

1. Ford Fairlane
   Plymouth Road Runner
2. Buick Lacrosse
   Chevy Country Squire

Even though a roadrunner is just a real bird and arguably something you can't trademark, the cartoon bird is a trademark of Warner Brothers, so Plymouth paid for the right to use the cartoon bird as inspiration for this car. For some reason.
