from what I've seen, they drive hummer H2, mercedes S-class and G wagon, ferrari 360, and the occasional SLR/maybach/lambo etc. and of course the obvious bentley or rolls

edit: I like how they say that patrick dempsey is driving a "custom porsche GT" but it's actually a GT3 RS. still a great choice of cars.

Seal's the only one who's gangster. Damn that Bentley is cool, unlike the new fat one's (Continetal) that all the others drive.

David and Victoria Beckham both have no taste judging from the cars they drive. David looks like a real idiot in that Rolls Royce. You have to remember that he is just basically a normal chap who happens - or perhaps happened - to play football quite well, and his wife just happened to be a member of a pop group and got her claws into David in order to make more money. That was the only time I have ever seen any sign she has any intelligence whatsoever. She certainly has no taste considering the car she is driving.

Too much is expected of these so called 'stars.' I also think that intelligence and good taste go together. Although, perhaps not always. It is also compounded by the fact nobody will tell them what bad taste they have i.e. 'The Emperor's New Clothes Syndrome.'

I love the Porsche GT3 RS, and I've been realising more and more in the past few days what a good car that is. It often takes time for me to form definitive opinions and if I had the money I would buy one now, before Porsche manage to ruin it by adding direct injection.

I also quite like the red Range Rover, and I definitely like the Dodge Challenger SRT8. As I say, intelligence and taste seem to go hand in hand. Arnie is an intelligent chap, despite what appearances may suggest.

You surely must know who Arnold Schwarzenegger is? Or do you mean on a personal level? Because I don't know any of them on a personal level.

Arnold driving the srt8 made me laugh, yes they are somewhat more fuel efficient than other srt8's but its still a HEMI.

He does actually look a bit guilty/embarrassed about being photographed with the car.

Isn't he known to be driving an Hummer H1? The SRT8 must be like a Prius in comparison to that thing.

I think he converted one to work using biofuels and one to work using hydrogen. Whether that makes any actual difference is debatable.

Perhaps it's because the people I would consider celebrities don't drive interesting cars.

But isn't he like a Hummer collector? In that case I bet he keeps an unmodified one in a corner of his garage that he drives with a nylon sock over his head in the middle of the night. I'd do that.

Whenever I see Katherine Heigl I feel the urge to touch myself, regardless of what she's driving.

The GT3 that Patrick Dempsey drives, is actually a custom one. Notice the bodykit, it isn't like the GT3 RS' one at all. The so called Porsche GT is more like a 911 Carrera with GT3 vinyl. And Arnold looks pretty funny in his outfit.

Patrick Dempsey finished 9th GT in a Mazda RX-8 at Montreal Friday. Anything he wants to drive is guaranteed to look smarter than anyone in a Bentley.
