William Shatner on his Favorite Cars

[steinstop]

The right to a car having is not easy if the colour of the car is bad. Some drive at the sea and need a red car. Some drive on water and need a white car. Some trough the mountain and need a red car too. So, what they need is a good car with the right colours on it. The quality is sometimes not on best qual. chrom.

[legoguy8114]

Cadillac CTS-V, Lamborghini Reventon , BUGATTI VEYRON FTW , Corvette ZR1, Cadillac Cien, BMW M5 Even though the CTS-V Beats it somehow

[MaryMcEaster]

Hey Bill!  Happy Birthday! We still love you here in Canada!

[XfStef]

Great pick Sir, the Phaeton is one my favourite pieces of engineering also, it's a pitty that not everybody knows its true potencial.

[Sylphoe]

Mercedes SEC560 W126

Dodge Charger R/T '69

[cabrioglx]

Phaeton all the way! Go vee-dub and Bill Shatner!!!!

[verbusen]

Always the pitchman, didn't give us a whole lot there in case his agent gets a commercial deal. Gawd the guy must be sitting on gobs of cash, yet he's still working it. He's kind of overexposed with everything he's doing. Guess at his age thats a good thing.

[Andreas1986xyz]

bmw e34

[Blue387]

I think Shatner could do well in a second-gen Cadillac CTS. It's a mix of comfort and decent handling.

[JTeam45]

1970 Corvette Stingray white with a darker red interior. THATS my dream car, and you know whats funny about that? My neighbor from 3 doors across the street has the exact same car that I want.

[dmc081]

my dream car is a 1981 delorean

[wasaranger]

Nice Car Mr Shatner

[Lisawsome]

My favorite car is any car that Shatner likes because anything that Shatner likes is God.

[annathefootdoc]

BMW 7 series......

[AquilaMagna]

My favourite car is the car I drive, a 1975 Valiant Ranger, which is an Australian Chrysler, bench seats, 5 metres long and drives like a tank, but I think it has beaut character, and the most delightful flowing bodywork. She is also named Happy.

[ScrapGoldBass]

Check out KIRK VS THE ROADRUNNER

[treridings]

...would that be the mighty Shat driving a rally car at :28 ?....whoohooo.

[pcz911]

He was driving in the Long Beach Grand Prix celebrity race in a Toyota Celica

[treridings]

Ahhh...makes sense. Good call.

[Juno83]

I've been drooling over the Dodge Viper since '96.

Although I would love to own a '71 Plymouth 'Cuda.

Of course I couldn't afford those sadly. :( So it's either the Honda Ridgeline or the Mazda Tribute.

[Nautypaw]

*cries* i understand your pain :(

[ukstreetracer]

good call on the phaeton, they are goregous in the flesh and the most luxurious car ever to sit in the back of.

[42317]

Thank you, Mr. Shatner, for voting "Made in Germany".

It almost seems like US producers push these "Buy American" slogans in order to compensate for lacks in fabrication quality.

But personally I prefer Volvo. Very safe, very comfortable.

[0114ryan]

this whole "Buy American" Thing your talking about has nothing to do with quality, i dont know if you know this or not but reports confirm ford is equal in quality to all company's on the market in that class. Sure some German cars may be better but they also cost 200 000 dollars more. The common German cars are not any better than American cars.

[42317]

I'd like to see a neutral study about that. :-)

Btw, I have nothing to do with the negative marker to the right.

[kkarloss1000]

sure, there are things made out usa and are best quality it.

[0114ryan]

"sure, there are things made out usa and are best quality it" That makes sense.

[AShadrak]

" buy american " is just something from gm lobbyists, the fact is that these " american " cars are usually made from parts from mexico etc...., and besides any of that companys like toyota and other foreign manufacturers have plants and dealerships in the US that employ americans. now I am no expert, but in all fairness gm, ford, etc... have simply lost to the competition and had no real plan as to how to weather a severe recession, and that is theyre own failure

[videodude1900]

If only he didn't want such a high salary, he wouldn't be fired from the new movie.

Chery SUV. A very cheap one.

[IconOfSin88]

1983 Datsun 280zx, accept no substitute.

[SdM45]

Phaton was a great car, too bad it never caught on.

My Favorite cars are: 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T (preferably in Stone White)

1963 Aston Martin DB5

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454

[LordBicen]

My favorite Car (Which i'll never be able to afford unless i win some stupid amount of money in a Power Ball) Is the Jaguar XJR-15. Sweet damn car. Bodystyle Designed by Peter Stevens (McClaren F-1)The car is absolutely sick! Beautiful design, want to know more, Go Wiki!

[DataLady91]

The Corvettes that Chevrolet has been making in the last few years (especially the newest model from this year) are absolutely GORGEOUS! And the Pontiac Trans Ams from the 90's-early 2000s were beautiful, too - and from what my dad told me, ran like a dream.

[BlackValkyire]

Phaeton is badass car, comes with a giant 12 pot engine, but I'd say my ABSOLUTE favourite car has got to be the Cadillac CTS-V. What a beast. Though my next purchase is going to be a Ford Mondeo ST TDCi - 0-60mph in 8ish seconds and 56mpg? Yes please. Also, can chip it to 203bhp/448 ft-lbs! :-P

[Watcher3223]

2005 Audi A8. Not the A8 L or the A8 with the 6.0L W12 engine.

The only year where you could get this car in the standard wheelbase and with the front split grille instead of the fishmouth grille.

The four rings is more dignified a brand than a VW logo paradoxically adorning a high end luxury car.

And, understated style, which the A8 and the Phaeton have in abundance, is classier than the garish, overdone look of cars like any Maybach, the current S class Mercedes-Benz, and the 7 Series BMW.

[Brandtalones]

What am I looking at? Bill, is this you? With the video on the young Kirk and noodling on cars?

Okay, you're kind of a goofy guy. I get it.

My favorite scene? Wind machines going like sixty and you done up in lots of suede... "I am Kiroc!"

Best from Kentucky...

[NowPleaseReadThis]

60's Jaguar XKE. It looks like a cheetah ready to pounce. Love the spoke wheels too.

[jpatt1000]

1981-86 Alfa GTV6. (Ihave had two, an '84 and my current '85.)

[Blueradar57]

I'm looking at the hybrids now, but I always had a thing for a Corvette Stingray.

[AgentNick42]

I test drove an Aston Martin V8 Vantage a month or so ago. That was a rush. It would take me a decade to afford a car like that, but just to sit in the driver's seat and wander the lot was a real privilege. I was terrified taking it on the street.

Great car.

[upthefan]

My clapped out 1994 Ford Fiesta. It cost next to nothing, took a detour through a hedge a few years back, but its still rocking! I think its got a few months left in it now, but ultimately its been reliable, cheap and efficient. Even after going through the aforementioned hedge!!

[InvincibleFoxIVFX]

VW woo!

[theromulanwarhawk]

A VW Phaeton?? Get the Maybach (I forget the model), but its much nicer and classier than the VW... just one guy's opinion.

[Watcher3223]

This is my opinion, so take it for what it's worth.

But, I'd take an A8 over a Maybach.

The four rings is more dignified than the VW logo paradoxically adorning a high end car.

And, understated style is far more classy than a look that tries too hard to impress.

[unerwaters]

1968 alfa Romeo duetto

[iloverush123]

1969 Plymouth Road Runner.

[styx8]

1971 Plymouth Barracuda

[Lavalambtron]

Good choice!

[ChargerMiles007]

Doge Chargers are COOL :) (Like smoke shows, see my channel :)

At the same time, I like lots of others, 55-57 Chevys, Cudas, 69 Camero, E-Type Jags, 39 Willys, 34 Ford, 59 Chevy -you gotta luv Cats Eye tail lights! Bugatti Veron, Ferrari........ the list goes on forever!

[conman2317]

imagine being rich.

[jackrusselsrulz]

Nothing wrong with VW good choice Bill my favourite car is the VW Touareg.

Why buy cars that need their own gas station in tow and that you push more than you drive.Best way to enjoy those kind of cars is on a poster :)

[CrudeCoach]

I wanna fit in with all these comments, let's try...

"Me American, Me Love American Muscle Car. Me Hate Immigrant Cars"

I agree with Bill, VW makes a fine luxury car. Too bad it's $100,000 =(

[Carmen20006]

Thanks for the show of DETROIT Support!

[nelipotfootfree]

Maybe if Detroit made good cars people would buy them.

[PrincessAlluraP]

Hey Bill, great topic video. My favorite car is a 1985 Dodge Daytona. It was my first and best car, and it was a hot red, two door coup. Nice car!! ^_~

[PlayaHata1975]

1970 Plymouth Superbird Old-school nascar all the way!

[BoPSarge]

Nice to see, Bill, that you like our car. Greetings from a VW worker :)

[AdmiralKakarot]

Bill, whats wrong with you?! a VW? really... nah just kiddin!

my favorites would have to be the old muscle cars from the early 60's to the mid 70's.

65 Mustang, 67 Shelby, 69 Torino, 63 Thunderbird, 68 Camero, 64 Corvette, 72 Mustang Mach 1, 67 GTO, 64 Skylark, 64 Cyclone, the list goes on....

[scotty686]

ah man all those awful american cars that cant corner or handle for shit. Youre in the right era man, but start looking at triumphs, astons and most of all etype jaguars. Beautiful :)

[AdmiralKakarot]

imports suck ass..

[scotty686]

nice attitude man. Im sorry but american cars really are awful, unsafe gas gusslers. Im from england but i can still appreciate the 'imported' german and italian cars. Fiat, VW and audi all make great cars. So stop being so narrow minded. I dislike american cars for a legitimate reason. Ever wonder why absolutely no american cars are sold worldwide but euro and jap ones are?

[AdmiralKakarot]

quite frankly dont give a tiny rats ass. i like American Made cars only. nothing else.

[paperbacklou]

Bill would you like to buy a 1991 Mercury Marquis with Mustang exhaust and a rollbar? You can park it anywhere and when you're driving down the street, people crossing a block or two away run for the sidewalk when they hear it coming.

[IntermittentSprocket]

Does it come fully equipped with impulse power and Mr.Sulu chauffeur at the steering wheel? LOL

[EliteRanger]

I'm not really a car kind of person (I prefer trains), so I judge them purely by appearence...in which case, my favorite car is the DeLorean. :)

[ilik3pi3]

Have you ever driven one? Bloody awful..

[EliteRanger]

Like I said...I judge cars solely by their appearence, and the DeLorean certainly appeals to me in that regard. I don't really care how it drives - trains are better, anyway. :)

[ilik3pi3]

It's okay, I wasn't calling you out, just trying to shield the poor youtubers from any potential disappointment =)

[ROROSMACHINE]

William Shatner rules.....grew up watching the original Star Trek in sindication......one of my personal heroes.. Absolutely nothing will ever beat the originals, all of the crew, but especially Jim Kirk, never give up regardless of the circumstance was the enduring message thru the series and movies.....

[pcz911]

You raced some Toyota's in the Long Beach Grand Prix. Surely, those must rank pretty high?

[Bobfils]

I'm saying sports car - Porsche, although the Cadillac CTS-V is pretty good. Classic? Ford Coupe or 49 Packard 2 door.

[ijzerkoekie]

Um, that was kind of lame

[RedPortiaOne]

First a starship captain and now a great car enthusiast. The Shat rocks and does it all :)

[KingJuliusThe1st]

People who have cars are like God's to me. It is hard to pick up women when it says on the side of your limo, Metro. Why are all these people in my limo, get out of my limo.

[bobadork]

as sarah silverman says, jewish men love german cars. They're fuhrervernugen!

[TRUMPER007]

Bill certainly likes to boldly go...

[greatlakeskayaker]

I always liked the VW Bug, but I think I'll always buy a pick up with at least a 6 foot bed. For the simple reason, I love to camp and sleep under the stars. With the pick up you just fill a air mattress throw it and a sleeping bag in the bed of the truck and yopu're set....tents are for storage and rainy nights. Stars are the best canopy.

[RedPortiaOne]

Mr Shatner is the man!!! Ive been loving his work since the TOS days. He is one of the most talented versitle actors in the world.

[raidenzero]

I wish these were longer, Bill is interesting to listen too.

[CalgarSkull]

I agree. Nice video Mr. Shatner.

[gypsy42279]

cool bill...

[1x3tzght]

Oh yes, VW Phaeton is one of the greatest cars I´ve ever seen!

[Shen44]

VW 4 LIFE!!!

[revolutionday1]

I like this....a lot. Incidentally, I'm pretty sure that Sylvester Stallone also owns one of the VW models that Bill referred to.

[kobyashi45]

Indigo Ink 2007 Tacoma PreRunner ! :)

Love ya Bill !!

[jbearden]

William Shatner, TO ME, is the hippest cat in the world.

[AnotherSchmoe]

Mr. Shatner is definitely a very cool guy, seems like a fun person to be around, cool that he spends so much time with family. =)

[FlyguyRyRyProduction]

leackage

[viperBSG]

2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Estate Green.

[revolutionday1]

Explorer Limited, FTW

[pe816190]

My favorite car is a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air.

[FrobmanAKATillman]

Neat! Sadly I don't have a favourite car. Nor that big an interest in them, despite watching Top Gear every now and again.

[moonblossom15]

My favorite car is the 1967 Mustang, blue convertible. Shatner would probably like it- both a car AND a horse! LOL

[mikma]

mikma was here

[LeonardaVito]

My favorite car is my Honda 200 XR motorcycle. Covers mountain paths well.

[JixMa]

It's fascinating how Jews (yes, William Shatner is Jewish) really dig German cars, huh? I wonder why that is.

[Zahn]

He's Martian saying he's a Jew because his friend who invited him to Earth - Adolf Hitler - told him to say he was Jewish.

[nicko236]

What?

[JixMa]

Wow! -8 thumbs, as of this writing, for a comment that was a joke and not at all anti-fucking-Semitic. Go fuck yourselves, all you that voted thumbs down on me! You closed-minded, thin-skinned wastes of space! You make me sick! Jon Stewart, a Jew himself, makes jokes about Jews all the fucking time when he points out something stupid they do. Grow the fuck up, you little politically correct assholes! You're why this world is as fucked up as it is. Why? Because politicians cater to your bullshit!

[TheKaijuSciFiGuy]

What about his patrol car from TJ Hooker?

[bondsan]

triumph spitfire absolute classic

[XmorphProductions]

the Bluesmobile!

[luigithekid]

my fav car is my 95 monte carlo

[sonofakbar]

mercedes benz 230 E (w123)

[blupheonix44]

My Favorite car is STILL the '82 Delorean. (WITH the hover conversion) =)!!

[sirNemanjapro]

VW Polo, great car. :)

[phdecora]

i have a soft spot for every beat up piece of junk ive ever owned... my current baby is a 15 year old honda station wagon, and not junky at all! beautiful green, cute, looks great with a bicycle on the back. my first 'real' car.

[greatbigguy]

in 1994 i bought a 1981 v6 chevy malibu. it was indestructible. started in the coldest weather, built like a tank. i got home about 200 am one morning and the snow plow had left a 2 ft tall mound of wet snow blocking my driveway. I just lined it up, put it in low, and rammed right through it. I wasn't gonna get out and shovel at 2 am, and since it was a major road and a snow plow zone, it was a tow away zone in winter, so I couldnt leave the car on the street. I loved that car.

[blupheonix44]

Hard to come across a rag top 69!!

I think i've only ever seen 2 up here...

My dad has a fully restored 69 GTO hardtop, beautiful car!

[lordroad]

Chevy Aveo

Nissan Versa

And...

'71 cuda

[christinapiglet]

I love cars just can't afford them!

I drive a ford fiesta but dream one day it'll turn into either a VW Coupe or an Austin Martin (I can dream!!).

[deanneugebauer]

Amtrekker > Shatner

[EclipsedFox]

Good choice..

[paulipoo1967]

Whatever car he likes,it can´t have gears..remember " A piece of the action"?....

[magsie666]

1968 Ford Mustang GT390 Fastback in dark highland green...

or a Ariel Atom

[LETHLSS]

awesome, VW makes some good stuff.. i've been a Camaro driver since 1981.. but have had 3 VW's, a classic Beetle, and 2 GTI's.. all were very dependable and fun to drive! =P

[gablefan01]

Bugatti Veyron---gotta love it!

[FoxELaura]

My Pontiac Firebird

[Jaydaddyfresh]

F1 McClaren, the new 2010 Camaro, and the Enzo Ferrari, though the liklihood I'll ever own any of those is about as probable as me becoming America's next top model.....as I'm a dude, and Canadian lol

[robbie3104]

Car = Mustang

SpaceShip = USS ENTERPRISE

[EdElisea]

I fell in love with the Mustang when I was 15 years old and an older friend took me for a ride in his Mustang Mach 1. I bought my 3rd Mustang recently. All of them V8s. I loved every one of them. I've driven many other makes and models and none of them held up as well or performed better than the Mustangs I've had.

[SmoggyZilla]

I like Datsuns I really do

[solitary1971]

in the night lol

[cagrin10]

Bill...how about the EV1?

P.S.

What's your opinion of the Andromeda agenda?

[bearflag70]

I wonder if VW paid Bill for that

[mullahaliackbar]

Corvette....like the one young Kirk stole and joyrided in the movie coming out next month....awesome scene...

"what is your name?" ...then, with attitude the punkish...long haired adolescent responds, "James Tiberius Kirk"...hahah

he says it as it to say to the cop, FUCK YOU. ...haha...classic authority defying Kirk...love him!

[mcflurey667]

That new movie will kill the franchise even more than enterprise did, and if u listen carfully in that trailer the kid says james Cyberius kirk !! its like they dont even care anymore!

[Spartan396]

It was "Tiberius" or how ever it's spelled. Obviously there is a "T" in it, just like the original series.

[yodabejedi]

Enterprise wasn't so bad if you skipped the god awful theme tune. Yeah it wasn't next gen but then again, what is? But come on dude, keep the faith, it might actually be good. I hear you, but I'm trying to stay positive about it. Maybe Pine has a weird speech imped where T's come out as C's. Doubt it but, still its Trek. Also its an even numbered one.

[blupheonix44]

Bacula killed the franchise!!!

[yodabejedi]

Come on dude, have faith. Be positive. I'm a die hard trekker. And it wasn't until I downloaded all of Enterprise (with the theme song cut so it was episodes back to back) that I kinda liked it. Some nice ideas- some not as thought through as well as they could have been but it could have been a lot worse.

[blupheonix44]

No way man! Enterprise COULD have been SO MUCH better!! New ST looks AWESOME!

Enterprise could have been so good it's a shame to see where they took the show, and the casting was ALL WRONG!!!

[jerrylambert]

things that go fast in the night

[theflorgeormix]

Naval Constitution Class

[danielinraleigh]

Hey, Shatner, didn't you say once that if people kept using cars, the human race wouldn't last another 5 years... over five years ago? Just curious, because I remember hearing someone say that you had said that. If the rumor's true, it seems you have embraced the love of the (hopefully energy-efficient) automobile.

Keep on rockin' Shatner!

[Bencey90]

USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)

[katalina2007]

Volkswagon makes good cars!

[Richmunnich]

I like that two seater Caddy they make. It seems pretty cool.

[doghouse71]

I like to drive where no man as drove before

[ScypaxPictures]

Very cool.

I liked that picture of you in that car. xD It was funny.

Good video!

[porcu12345]

Nice.

[msjvariety]

First! You Rock Mr Shatner!
