TomTom's been offering the voice of John Cleese on its nav systems for a while now, but other companies are starting to get into the celeb-navigator act.

CNN/Money took each actor for a spin, and surprise, surprise, the Bandit took the prize. While we're sure it would be fun to pretend we're in a short-wheelbase custom GMC van or a Patrol Boat, River, we'll take the '77 TA every time. Now if only GPS systems included Smokey reports...
