What would (insert name of SW character) drive??

OK, we had "What Would Jesus Drive." Then came "What Would Satan Drive" and now comes what cars the various SW characters would drive.
Darth Vader would drive a 1987 Buick Regal T-Type. After all, Car and Driver's article for this car was "Darth Vader, your car is ready!"
Emperor Palpatine, on the other hand, would drive something more luxurious, less vulgar and really really expensive - probably a Jaguar XJR. Or, for that matter, a Rolls-Royce. And painted jet-black, of course.
Grand Moff Tarkin (and 99.9% of Imperial officers) would drive an old, black, generic-looking luxury sedan.
Luke Skywalker would either drive an old Toyota Celica, a souped-up Honda Civic or something like that. Come on, he's supposed to be a typical teenager in the middle of nowhere who likes going fast in his spare time.
Uncle Owen.... he's a farmer. And not a terribly rich one. So I guess that he drives an old, beat-up pick-up truck or an even more beat-up SUV.
Han Solo would drive a 1970 Chevrolet El Camino. It has everything a smuggler could want from a car - loads of cargo capacity and it's pretty fast. Or perhaps a 1992 GMC Typhoon.
Boba Fett??? Perhaps an old Dodge Charger R/T with darkened windows and a hole in the muffler. One of the ideal cars for high-speed car chases which a bounty hunter often would find himself in.
Lando Calrissian would drive a heavily customized 1949 Mercury Coupé with a psychedelic paint job, animal print interior and hydraulic suspension courtesy of an old Citroën. He would also have a BMW, given that he's the closest thing you get to a yuppie in the SW universe. But he's also the closest thing to a pimp, so he'll certainly have the afore-mentioned lowrider Mercury too.
Jar-Jar Binks, if we assume he would be able to even know how to drive a car, would probably end up driving some weird Russian car from the 1970s.
Nute Gunray, Viceroy of the Trade Federation, would DEFINATELY drive a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. And the same would probably apply to all the other Neimoidian officials. Except for perhaps the lower-ranking ones, who would drive E-Classes.
Suggestions??
