Over the summer CB and I saw Bullitt at a revival theater. As we were leaving I overheard someone say that you can tell the 1968 Dodge Charger the hitmen drive in the chase scene is the bad guys car:

That's a sweet evil ride, I'm plan to jack one when I start my life of crime; but is there a modern equivalent? What make, model and color of car would the bad guys drive now?

It's the kind of car I like driving in that Need For Speed X360 game.

Was my thinking too.
But then I figured jeeps with tinted windows are actually real world bad guy cars anyway.
The best result on Google image search for "villain car" is:

My favorite villain, Kwame Kilpatrick, drives a Cadillac Escalade:

It's pretty pimp, I'll grant you; but it just doesn't have the same evil look as the '68 charger.
What cars do Kim Jong-Il and Chavez and Ahmadinejad drive?
Being bad these days is all about not seeming too bad while ripping off old ladies, shooting auto-rifles into schoolbuses, or selling coke to former presidents.
Bad guys these days would drive a new Beetle, a Mini, or for the ultimate evil, a Smartcar.

populists need to drive the people's cars.
People in North Korea have cars?
I love those fucking midget cars on the highways. One day, I'm going to pulverize one with my Grand Cherokee.

The people don't, the pigs do.
Balkan crime lords prefer BMWs and Mercs with heavily tinted windows.
Your more cost-conscious villain, however, is more likely to be seen driving a second-hand Audi these days.

Times are bad when the economic downturn has hit the criminals, too. :(
The Escalade seems to be the vehicle of choice for gangsters, secret government agent men, and various other nefarious characters in modern cinema.
On the flip side, heroes have begun riding the Charger.
Fashions change.
The most badass looking car in the last years was the Lamborghini Reventon:
