Someone poses with or appears to be riding in a good-looking vehicle. A shift of view, and it's revealed they drive something MUCH less glamourous — The Alleged Car and bicycles are common. A variation (excellently demonstrated by the image on the right) is for that person to be indeed riding said good-looking vehicle, but not actually in it. See Not This One, That One if it's the character being fooled as well as, or instead of, the audience about which vehicle they're going to take. |

At the beginning of 1936's Looney Tunes short "Porky's Road Race," Porky is working on what at first glance is a multi-cylinder hot rod. The vehicle is pulled out of shot to show Porky is actually working on his own vehicle, a two-cylinder racer. | |

This happens lots of times in the Spanish comic Mortadelo y Filemón: for example, in the albums "Valor y al toro", "Contra el Gang del Chicharrón", "Los verdes", "La maldición gitana", to name just a few. | |

The Benny Hill Show: In a filmed sketch about the National Health Service, Benny is a private patient while another lower-class looking person is going through the public way. At the end of the sketch Benny is seen perched in a late model convertible; the lower class guy is then seen getting in the car and driving away, revealing that Benny is sitting on a bicycle. At the end of another sketch, which has Benny playing a famous rock star, it seems he's in a car with happy people with champagne and beautiful women, and it pulls away, and a lonely Benny rides home on his bicycle. |

Jack Sparrow's first appearance in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl has him appearing to stand heroically on the mast of a grand ship. And then we see that his 'ship' is in fact a glorified dinghy - one that's sinking, to boot! | |

Top Gear did this during the original Amphibious Vehicle challenge. James May was having boatloads of trouble with his convertible sailboat car constantly breaking down. However after a while he appeared to have fixed it, commenting that "the ride has improved, the wind's in my hair and the top speed is brilliant!". Cut to a wider view showing him in the car as it rides on the back of an AA lorry. Another example occurred during the Albanian road trip. The three hosts were to test high-end luxury sedans allegedly for the Albanian Mafia, except Bentley pulled out in providing their Mulsanne saloon car at the last minute, leaving Jeremy without a car. Luckily he said he had made some "alternative arrangements"; meaning he found a dirt-cheap second-hand Yugo as a replacement. In one of the series' classic moments, Jeremy and the others proceed to review the clanky Yugo as if it were still the Bentley he was supposed to drive (contrasting the Bentley's on-paper luxury and performance stats against the Yugo's... lack thereof). When the boys were challenged to build an electric car from scratch, Jeremy was tasked on designing the body while James was building the electric motor and Richard was providing a chassis. Later in the episode James and Richard are seen admiring a streamlined sports car thinking it was Jeremy's design, only for Jeremy to direct them to the actual car which looked like a garden shed made out of sheet metal and plywood. |

Ben 10: Omniverse: When Rook is showing his vehicle to Ben we first see a badass-looking green and black monster truck, only to learn it's a different car and Rook's actual ride actually is the old, silly-looking truck behind it. Then subverted when Rook reveals it's only in camouflage mode and can turn into a powerful, heavily armed, spaceship-like vehicle. | |

Parodied in a deleted scene in Tomorrow Never Dies. When Q meets with Bond in Germany, he's presenting Bond the car he'll be using on his mission, but accidentally opens a crate with a live jaguar inside, with Bond asking "Jaguar?" and Q answering "Wrong assignment." before properly presenting the car, which is a BMW. | |
