No doubt for me. The Cat in the Hat car wins by a mile. First, the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (CCBB for the rest of this blog entry) is being driven by a woman. Ok, just kidding. I'm actually rooting for Danica or another woman to win at Indy. I think it would really shake up a lot of the good old boys in the grease pit and on the track.

Secondly, just look at how much more sleek and aerodynamic the Cat car is. The pipes running from the back to the running board--how cool is that? The silver color with the needle nose, literally. Wow! Plus, there's a huge spoiler on the back. This baby is loaded. And how about the interior that matches the Cat's hat? Seuss thought of everything, apparently even a moon roof to allow the hat some breathing room.

The Chitty Mobile could have a lot under the hood. Who knows? I do like the way it rolls back for easy access. I also like that it doubles as a family car. The fold down windshield is an additonal attractive feature. It, too, boasts running boards. The open roof could be an advantage if the wind is blowing favorably.

But the Cat in the Hat car (CITH) has more eye appeal. That finalizes it for me. Props to both cars, though. And both authors of kids' tales. At least these cars are recognizable without having to read on the back what and who makes them.
