If Santa Claus decided to trade-in his high-mileage sleigh at the local dealership for something shiny and new, what would today’s car companies have to offer the big guy? Let’s see:


Lexus

Lexus designers made sure the sleigh met Santa’s needs, including plenty of luggage capacity. The front is one of the most striking areas and includes the corporate spindle grille, narrow headlights and angular LED headlights.


Toyota

Toyota Motor Corp is trying to temps Santa with this sports-car inspired sleigh. No doubt based on an extended wheelbase Toyota GR86, this one is definitely quick!, But just like the road-going car, there appears to be a shortage in carrying capacity.


Ford

If Ford can transform their Mustang from a pony car into an electric SUV, surely the boys in Dearborn can work that blue oval magic on Santa’s sleigh. Digging deep into their historic F-Series pickup trucks for inspiration, this one is built Ford tough and would surely be as reliable as Rudolph.


Dodge

The American muscle car may not be pretty, but it has the reindeer power needed to haul the precious toys for tots at breakneck speed. Dodge is certainly challenging with this option.


Land Rover

Clearly, English companies march to a different drummer. Case in point, Land Rover. This one looks more like an Olympic bobsled with enclosed wheels. No consideration for cargo, and surprisingly the colour scheme does away with traditional red in favour of silver.


Bentley

The Bentley boys design adds the high-end style of a luxury cruiser, with room for one special reindeer. Limited room in the boot requires Santa’s sack to be towed behind the Bentley, a safety concern in some neighbourhoods.


Ferrari

A retro Ferrari Testarossa on runners was designed by the boys in Maranello. This one certainly has the power to deliver presents all over the world, though it’s not quite as practical as Santa’s sleigh. Then there’s the question of an old Ferrari’s reliability, and the chance that there would would be nothing under the tree on Christmas morning.

  1. Not that you’re taking a poll, but the Toyota is prettiest. However, the Ford has a better gift capacity and just looks more like an old-fashioned Christmas. Fun post!
