I know at first you'd think these cars can't be identified but there are plenty that are supposed to be real cars. The ones that have brand names are accurate because i looked it up on the movie website (otherwise the others have their character names in the movie). all of these should have five stars because they're characters in the movie.

all of these should have five stars because they're characters in the movie.

They are characters, but they do not have a major role. A 5-star car means that the car is important enough to be listed as a character, like Christine. Or that the car is very important in the movie plot, like in Back to the future.
But here lots of cars have a small role. Like the trucks in Maximum Overdrive: they are "alive" but do not all get 5 stars, as some only have minor roles or seen only in few scenes :wink:
So only the main character car should be 5 stars I think.
About listing the vehicles, I guess that we could list them as we list the cartoon vehicles too. I'll upload these later.

Pictures do not come direcly from the movie actually? I thought it was the case.

You could add them as temporary pictures couldn't you?
26/05/2006 @ 21:50:56: antp: Cars (2006)
yes

okay. It's just that people including little kids (if there are any that are members or whatever) ought to know the characters and what kind of cars they are if this makes sense.
