Stephenie has a very clear idea of what the cars in her novels look like. Here are the exact models the characters own according to Stephenie's official website.
If you always wondered why she decided to choose certain cars for her characters just read the descriptions of the cars. We are starting to believe this is no coincidence ;).
Note: These cars might be different than the ones used for the movie, but these are the originals Stephenie had in mind when she wrote the book.
