World Leaders Cars (1)

A decade ago, on this blog, I compiled a comprehensive list of every world leader's cars. It's time for an updated list. Let's do it!

1. Japan: Lexus LS600h L. You may have seen the recent viral video of Abe's motorcade politely ordering drivers to yield. You can see the VIP (Abe) was riding in a Lexus. (2007 car: Toyota Century)


2. Taiwan: Audi A8L Security. The Republic of China's cat fancier president rides in a big Audi. (2007 car: Cadillac)


3. USA: Cadillac, aka The Beast. (2007 car: Cadillac)


4. Canada: Chevy Suburban. (2007 car: Lincoln Town Car) Note that Trudeau Jr inherited a classic 300SL from Trudeau Sr.


5. North Korea: Mercedes S600 Pullman Guard. (2007 car: VW Phaeton)


6. South Korea: Hyundai Equus Stretch Edition, of course. (2007 car: Equus)


7. Mexico: Chevy Suburban. (2007 car: Suburban)


8. India: BMW 760Li Security Edition. (2007 car: BMW 7-Series)


9. China: Hongqi CA7600J. (2007 car: Hongqi)


10. UK: Jaguar XJ Sentinel. (2007 car: Jaguar Super 8)
