Selecting the Best Car for the Zombie Apocalypse

What should you look for in a vehicle to survive the zombie apocalypse? Power, to bust through any barriers (or hordes of zombies blocking the road)? Size, to haul all of your supplies, family and friends? Stealthiness, so as to not attract attention? Environmentally friendly so ... you feel better about yourself as the world spirals into a living hell?

Anyway, this article discusses all of this and picks some interesting choices. Apparently the number one choice is the Hummer, like from the movie Zombie Land.

While you're there, you might want to visit the author's companion post on picking an emergency zombie retreat. He suggests the following considerations in picking a place to hole-up:
Safety: Has the structure been thoroughly cleared of undead and is it locked down and fortified to prevent unwanted entry?  
Defensibility: Can you defend your new home from an undead assault or marauding band of looters?  
Detection: The best defense is not being found in the first place. Can the undead hear or smell you from outside? 
Does your home look enticing to marauders who may want to evict you?  
Escape Access: Do you have a secure second exit if your position becomes overrun? 
Sustainability: Is there an accessible source of food, water, or alternative power? 
Sanity: Is there room for more than just you? After a few weeks it can get awful lonely as “the last man on earth”. And if you are with a group, do you have a good supply of books or board games to entertain the troops?
