Last year it was Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Ford, and Nissan. This year, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Audi, Land Rover, and Jaguar submitted their Santa-ships, and the results are predictably outrageous.<\/p>\n<p>The Jag and Land Rover cruisers might make you think they got their sexy back. Jag&#8217;s design features the unlikely addition of twin, rear-mounted propellers (which might make rooftop landings a little difficult &#8212; and noisy) and a painted mascot on its forward flanks that is definitely <em>not<\/em> Mrs. Claus. The Land Rover snowspeeder-thingy has particle accelerators, and those are always sexy, and we dig Santa&#8217;s pose with that cigar, looking straight out of a Hugh Hefner photo shoot. We have a feeling that Hef, however, wouldn&#8217;t have a reindeer in that front seat&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which, we&#8217;d be interested in finding out why some car designers think Santa wants to tackle his annual delivery route with one single reindeer riding shotgun.
