Tom Cruise is a left wing nut job, like all left wingers and liberals they believe that global warming is real, cause by humans, and thus any car that is not a prius is a gross polluter. Most of hollywood is in this boat, leftists or liberal. and since it is hollywood they have the cash to destroy these cars that we all want to own simply because they can, personally i believe they do these things in the movies just to show you that they CAN. that movie would not have been any worse if cruise would have been driving a modern pickup truck, hot rodded as you could imagine. or even a reproduction car like a classic cobra or even a viper, pick any car that could have been substituted (and likely someone elsewhere would say the same about sacrilegious destruction of that vehicle).
Not to turn this discussion into a political one, but again, consider the source of the sacrilegious destruction you guys have mentioned.

In my experience most of the movie cars are not that nice. They usually have one "hero" car - for up close/detail shots - and then several shoddy glommed together rust buckets glued together for the rest of the footage. You can often see continuity errors as they cut between the different cars if you watch closely.
I have a friend here who was the local representative for Carl Casper auto shows. He used to round up old Mopars and convert them into General Lee's, for use in the midwest region auto shows and then to be shipped out west for filming. By the end of the Duke's of Hazzard's run most of those cars were pretty nasty bondo'd up hoopties. He used to comment "...if you see a pink cloud of dust after the jump you'll know it was this car".
