10. Dawn of the Dead (2004)
This remake of Romero's 1978 is a hit or miss for people, and you would think that a movie with a group of survivors trapped in a mall would have little-to-no cars present. If you have seen the movie, you know that is not the case. In fact, besides trucks and ambulances, various cars from Mercedes-Benz to Toyota make an appearance. The Camaro could be an easy one to miss if you aren't paying attention. It is parked in the parking garage and is shown just after the zombie attacks. For a better look, check out the scene here.
