Exclamation What SMS vehicle would you like to see in Mission Impossible 4's premier event?
I have been contacted about the current SMS product by the same people who asked me back in April 2006 to ask Steve if they could use a certain vehicle for the premiere of MI3. So I would like to get some input from the experts here at SOEC on the upcoming product from SMS that could possibly be seen in the next MI4.

Thanks,
Tom Glockner

Put an SMS banner on my '08 S302E, and I'd be happy to let Tom Cruise drive it for a night... Or failing that, an SMS 460 in yellow...

Chris.

[edit]: Of course, it should be the 460X version...

Since the Mustang market is crowded and competitive... the prospect of the SMS Mustang being featured in a major motion picture would aid in establishing the SMS version as the-best-of-the-lot.

I believe the SMS 570 was already slated to star in an action film, so this would spread visibility for the brand and range of models.

My vote goes to the SMS Mustang for MI.

Chris, Your welcome to leave your S302E at my house so I can do some testing first! LOL

after witnessing a 570X delivery in the neighborhood I would have to say the Dodge! But not sure if it fits the bill of a spy?

Since Saleen; the name and founder of the real "Saleen" has already been synonymous with the Mustang; and agree that the Challenger is not too "spy-ish"; my vote would go the the Camaro; A. for recognition/marketing and B. for "spy-appeal"!

My vote is for the 460 SMS, Since Tom Cruise has two Saleen S 281 S/C Saleens. O and he drove my Saleen S/C for a week to see if he wanted the Senic Roof... Im not partial... LOL. Hope this comes about... it would be cool.

Talking I'd like to see the 25A
You have more for the special effects people to create gadits (like the bond cards).

Also with the camaro it is synonymous with the transformers movies.

Tom had the Silver Trilogy SC331 Press Truck for about one week, he drove the truck to see if he would like one also and then handed it off to David Beckham for a few days, now you can see the truck driven around South OC by Liz Saleen.
Thanks,
Tom

Trilogy or Liquid Mercury? Something is rattling around my brain to think Mercury... which went on to become a 2008 Saleen Custom Color, I believe.

SMS Mustang all the way!

Semi-gloss black with red pinstripes is my vote. Not too flashy, like a spy would want. Natural finish machined mesh wheels, like the Fikse wheels on the FMS catalog Mustang racer, but in 20 inch.

Dave, you have great memory! I think I'm getting Alzheimer's from all the drama.
Thanks,

My preference would be to see Steve's SMS 460X Mustang.

It's funny seeing this thread knowing that Ghost Protocol (MI4) went all out with BMW instead.

In MI3 Tom asked me to use a Saleen E for the movie launch in New York and we gladly accommodated him! No Saleen Vehicle was in the movie just the premiere. I was working on getting a SMS vehicle into the MI4 premiere and unfortunately it did not work out for SMS.
Thanks, Tom
