stpaulcarguy ◊ 2009-01-05 03:54	BEST CAR IN THE WHOLE MOVIE!!!! -- Last edit: 2009-01-22 03:27:07
Diesel Jim ◊ 2009-01-08 02:25	Can't be THAT important...not in THIS movie. LOL!
holden nut ◊ 2009-01-13 23:54	I've seen better, the 1976 model is better looking THAN THAT!
atom ◊ 2009-01-20 12:22	From the end of the movie: Spoiler - click here to see it "You can keep the Gran Torino, on the condition you don't chop-top the roof like one of those beaners, don't paint any idiotic flames on it like some white trash hillbilly, and don't put a gay spoiler on the rear end like you see on all of the other zipperheads cars, it just looks like hell."
BeanBandit ◊ 2009-01-20 13:02	If it only were year-two older. 1970 - 71 Torino is the best looker.
Neptune ◊ 2009-01-20 17:41	Indeed, but this one is still nice I think.
hiergehts ◊ 2009-01-22 07:02	The 1972 is by far the best looking of the 1972-76 Torino series. The later cars big bumpers ruined the look and shape of it and the 'sportsroof' version was only sold in 1972 & 1973. -- Last edit: 2009-01-22 07:04:37
rjluna2 ◊ 2009-01-30 13:50	The Atlanta Journal-Constitution published an Q&A on the news article at Metro section (page C2), Thursday, January 29th, 2009: Q: We just saw Clint Eastwood's movie "Gran Torino." [Sic] was that car really his own? A: [Sic] As for the car, it's his now. The 1972 Gran Torino was purchased for the movie from Salt City Classic and Muscle, a Vernal, Utah, dealership. The movie was filmed in Michigan, and the car was bought through a Michigan car dealer so that the film qualified for state tax incentives. Incidentally, Eastwood drove a Gran Torino in "Magnum Force" the second Dirty Harry movie in 1973. ( /vehicle_19043-Ford-Gran-Torino-1973.html ).
typhlosion ◊ 2009-02-02 05:22	i think it should only have 3 stars and the truck should have five stars because the torino only gets drive once in the last scene for just a minute while the ford truck is driven multiple times!!!
ford_guy ◊ 2009-02-02 05:53	This car only deserves three or four stars, definitely not five. And even though it is only driven in one scene, it is featured throughout the movie and is central to the story. I give it four stars because of its importance.
Raul1983 ◊ 2009-03-15 22:42	1973-1976 Torino is the best looking of the Torino series (Starsky & Hutch)
chicomarx ◊ 2009-03-17 19:50	I'd give it 5. It's "part of the movie". It's on the poster, the movie is named after it, and the story revolves around it. More suitable than "used a lot by a main character or for a long time".
G-MANN ◊ 2009-04-01 22:20	It's definetely not worth 5 stars, even though the film is named after it, it doesn't appear in many scenes, doesn't get a large amount of actual screentime and is only briefly driven at the end of the film. In fact it might even only be worth 3 stars. -- Last edit: 2009-04-01 22:22:07
BiltFordTuff ◊ 2009-05-28 22:52	This great looking 1972 Gran Torino Sport deserves 5 stars because... 1. The movie is named Gran Torino 2. Everybody wants this car 3. The movie revolves around it!
tv boy ◊ 2009-06-01 15:15	Perhaps it should get five stars on the strength of playing the title role. The Cadillac in the 1956 movie "The Solid Gold Cadillac" got five stars despite having an even smaller role than the Gran Torino does in this film. /vehicle_9643-Cadillac-Eldorado-Biarritz-1956.html I don't know if the Cadillac is rated too high or the Gran Torino is rated too low.
tv boy ◊ 2009-06-05 03:43	Three stars would be way too little for this movie, that implies a character drove it just to have a mode of transportation and that it has no further meaning to the movie.
takumi ◊ 2009-06-07 15:31	Vraiment Magnifique
Dan ELV ◊ 2009-06-21 00:21	Maybe it needs "5 stars" mark as "a movie part" ???
G-MANN ◊ 2009-09-28 00:38	Clint sings a song about it over the end credits. Well, he tries to sing...
fub ◊ 2010-02-27 16:56	5 stars! It's part of the movie. It's not only the duration on screen but what the car represents in the story that make it so important. -- Last edit: 2010-02-27 16:57:21
DodgeCharger1969 ◊ 2010-07-10 02:32	I love this Beauty. And I love the Magnum 500 rims! -- Last edit: 2010-07-17 18:53:16
chicomarx ◊ 2011-01-31 19:53	- "How about you just hand over them keys to that Gran Torino?" - "Why the hell does everybody want my car?" SPOILER: Spoiler - click here to see it "And I'd like to leave my 1972 Gran Torino to Thao Vang Lor, on the condition that you don't chop-top the roof like one of those beaners, don't paint any idiotic flames on it like some white-trash hillbilly, and don't put a big, gay spoiler on the rear end like you see on all the other zipperheads' cars. It just looks like hell." -- Last edit: 2011-02-01 11:29:29 (antp)
antp ◊ 2011-02-01 11:29	I added the spoiler tag, just in case
BigRiggs1 ◊ 2012-08-07 19:10	Well, you can say what you want about the american manufacturing industry, but they did occasionally produce a few gems, huh?
portacker ◊ 2013-03-11 02:02	Love those laser stripes! Part of the GT package, along with the magnum 500 wheels. The gt package could be added to torino at this point, Gran T's had 302's as a base engine.
