Though Cersei has done her best to thin out the <\/span>Game of Thrones<\/span><\/i> character list, there are still a ton of names to keep track of. Plus, it\u2019s been over a full year since last season. In anticipation of this Sunday\u2019s Season 7 premiere, we\u2019ve selected some of the key characters and determined which cars they would be if they were listed on our marketplace. If you can\u2019t quite remember the names of all the players, this refresher will reacquaint you with the personalities and qualities of all the fan favorites. Get excited \u2014 winter is here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Warning: spoilers ahead<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Daenerys Targaryen: Aston Martin V8 Vantage<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"

Jeff’s Aston Martin V8 Vantage (San Mateo, CA)<\/p><\/div>\n

If you\u2019re all caught up on the show, you know exactly who\u2019s bringing her dragons and bloodriders to wreak havoc on the lords and ladies of Westeros. Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and First Men\u2026 and all the rest. Khaleesi will undoubtedly be descending on the seven kingdoms with style, purpose, and power. If she were a car, she\u2019d be this beautiful Aston Martin V8 Vantage convertible. It\u2019s exotic, sexy, sleek, and dignified. It\u2019s small, but also a total badass with one of the all-time bloodlines. It\u2019s got power too \u2014 the 4.3L V8 puts out nearly 400 hp. The whole fiery little package comes in rossa corsa Ferrari red paint, because dragons and all that. Khaleesi is done being underestimated, so either stay out of her way or rent this fierce little beauty next time you\u2019re in the Bay Area. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jon Snow: Nissan GT-R<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Jacob’s Nissan GT-R (Antioch, CA)<\/p><\/div>\n

Is he the Bastard of Winterfell or the King in the North? Either way, Jon Snow is a real guy\u2019s guy and the classic hero that Westeros needs but definitely doesn\u2019t deserve. He is this Nissan GT-R Black Edition<\/a>. By now, Jon is a legendary warrior. He fought the white walkers, prevented a war, died, came back to life, and took Winterfell back from the Boltons. With 530 hp, the Nissan GT-R is a monster around the track and a nightmare on the dragstrip. It can destroy much flashier, more expensive supercars by hitting 60 mph in 2.7 seconds. This GT-R has a custom camouflage wrap that looks just like Commander Snow\u2019s north-of-the-wall outfit. It\u2019s strong, it\u2019s brooding, it\u2019s dutiful. It\u2019s low-key for its immense power and talent, and Jon the GT-R is just waiting for his moment. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cersei Lannister: Mercedes-Benz E-Class<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Raul’s Mercedes-Benz E-Class (Cambridge, MA)<\/p><\/div>\n

Queen Cersei is conniving and vicious, but she carries herself with the refinement and class of someone born into the richest family in the land. This brand-new Mercedes-Benz E 300<\/a> has the noble elegance and assuredness that Cersei puts on. The E 300 has a turbocharged inline-4 that makes 241 hp, so it\u2019s got some grunt but isn\u2019t strictly fun, if speed is what you\u2019re looking for. No, Cersei doesn\u2019t dirty her hands, but she pulls all the levers and strings from the comfort of her castle. The E-Class has long been a leader in interior luxury and cutting-edge gadgetry, so this 2017 model has all the toys and pleasures that the Queen demands. No wine, though.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mountain: Hummer H1<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"

Skyler’s Hummer H1 (Salt Lake City, UT)<\/p><\/div>\n

Ser Gregor Clegane, better known as the Mountain for obvious reasons, has seen more than his fair share of fights. He\u2019s a bruising beast and a man of mythical size and brawn. We have to assign him this Hummer H1, which is rough, rugged, and ready for battle. Skyler\u2019s H1 has giant tires, a snorkel, and camouflage paint. It\u2019s unrefined and has some scars, but it doesn\u2019t care. Most importantly, it\u2019s huge. Just like the Mountain, the Hummer H1 is an imposing all-terrain monster that will gobble up anything you put in its way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tyrion Lannister: Fiat 850 Spider<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Rodrigo’s Fiat 850 Spider (Bethesda, MD)<\/p><\/div>\n

This lively little Fiat 850 Spider<\/a> is the vehicular manifestation of everyone\u2019s favorite Westerosi dwarf. Tyrion is tiny, energetic, and spunky to the point of annoyance. People may make fun of him, but he\u2019s got the sharpest wit in the show and is really rather charming once you get to know him. Neither this Fiat nor Tyrion take themselves too seriously, and neither should you. Tyrion is little use in physical battle, just as the 850 Spider isn\u2019t for racing. The yellow even fits his Lannister heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Petyr Baelish: Fisker Karma<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"

Phil’s Fisker Karma (San Diego, CA)<\/p><\/div>\n

Lord Baelish is a sneaky, mysterious figure who pops up in convenient places at convenient times. He\u2019s wealthy and elegant, but doesn\u2019t shout about it, because he\u2019s too busy playing \u201cthe game.\u201d The Fisker Karma is a mysterious, slithery sedan with striking style and a unique construction. If you recall, Fisker briefly challenged Tesla with this luxury hybrid before going under. The Karma is a sleekly designed hybrid with a beautiful interior and solar panels on the roof. It even has Baelish’s mustache! It\u2019s very rare, so catch this Karma whenever you\u2019re in San Diego \u2014 you won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lord Varys: Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Zim’s Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL (San Mateo, CA)<\/p><\/div>\n

Lord Varys is a cerebral old bird. He\u2019s seen and heard much through the years, so he has more wisdom and perspective than nearly anyone in the realm. Zim\u2019s 1971 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL<\/a> has the stately grace to match Varys\u2019s legendary poise. It\u2019s a luxurious, high-born classic with the experience of decades on the road. This 300 SEL has been wonderfully maintained and offers a pleasant, peaceful ride for its passengers. Varys has been playing politics for longer than most, mostly because he\u2019s managed to stay above the fray and soldier on as the Westerosi lords tear each other apart.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arya Stark: Mazda MX-5 Miata RF<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Adam’s Mazda MX-5 Miata RF (Windermere, FL)<\/p><\/div>\n

Arya Stark is not no one. A girl is Arya Stark, the fiercest newly-minted assassin with a penchant for bloody vengeance. Thanks to her brutal training, Arya can change her appearance at will and get real stabby on whoever has wronged her family. The shapeshifting Mazda MX-5 Miata RF<\/a> is the perfect fit for the youngest Stark \u2014 the RF stands for Retractable Fastback. This newest version of the newest Miata pulls some trickery by folding a two-part hardtop roof down behind the seats. The result is a targa top look that carries hints of the Porsche 911. The Miata is already a favorite sportscar for drivers everywhere, but the Retractable Fastback\u2019s transforming ability makes it that much more exciting. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
