i think i'd have to go with a horse, honestly. anything that runs on a liquid fuel will run out eventually, unless you want to somehow make your own vegetable oil for a diesel or something. since we don't have fusion cars or solar-powered electrics yet, a horse is probably the best choice. also, horses repair themselves over time. try that with a fried alternator.
a bicycle would be a close second for me, and if it had a little gas or electric assist engine that'd be neat (until it broke - see above). if we're talking about a mad max-style dash with other people and your entire life's possessions, i would choose a land cruiser or jeep, with the smallest engine possible, and have a trailer for fuel.

My kayak. Gets me into town for free, into tucked away lakes, lets me watch bears, caribou, wolves and moose without them feeling bothered, and it makes me feel free and independent.

Uh, where are we driving this survival vehicle to?
-
Okay, here's my survival/bugout vehicle list:
Instant/Short Term Bugout? Cobra. 4.6 liter. FAAAAAST ride. Trunk is already loaded with bug-out/survival gear. Just add extra food. (Not that the thing is any good for grocery shopping - small trunk is already full.) Kids and family know where to meet me if necessary.
One Hour Notice/Long Term Bugout? Eddie Bauer Explorer. Back is already loaded with essential bug-out gear. Add extra gear, food and fuel - always ready to go - will take 20 minutes. Kids, family, and pets follow in the other Explorers, also loaded in 20 minutes. Extra 40 minutes spent posting on Wilderness Survival Forums.
Damn! Just remembered to include my iPod in my bugout kit. Good for playing pre-recorded "snapping noises" over and over again while on the road.
No personality type issues here. I lead, they follow. :D

1976 Toyota FJ40 Landcruizer. 8000 lb. winches front and back. Roof rack and rear rack. Weapons, whiskey and women.

So, basically you all have great big heavy metal boulders when the fuel runs out, right?:D

Think mult-use items. Imagine what can be canabalized from a vehicle to be used in a survival situation. Lot's of possibilities.

"Why are you carrying that tire?"
"Crash said so. Shut up!"
"Okay."

Average tire will keep 10 men afloat.

We are hunker-down / bug-in types... Not going to get on the clogged roads with the panicked masses.
Currently have an old ATV... looking at replacing with a Willy's army jeep (already found one).
Would like and may some day get a horse - we have a hay field that we do not harvest. We just let it go to seed every year.

Someone send me the link to the dealer for that thing.
