 Personally, I think durability and looks are important. They want a car
that can drive through an atomic blast and keep coming. I'm thinking
Buick Roadmaster, Pontiac Starchief, or the Bently from Good Omens (An
atomic blast and the wrath of Satan are roughly the same thing).
 Actually, if this is the future, they should have switched to mostly
electric flywheel cars by then. I remember reading about one in
Scientific American, which means its a valid idea unless it was one of
their d**m April issues.
   Which gives me an idea for an abomination. How about a naked mole rat
with a chipmunk's @$$ attached to its head that melts through snow and
attacks like pirahna?
