Exactly, and everything is product placement. WTF would Ford want a beater from the 80s being the car in the film? They’ll lobby for the coolest, brandnewest model even when it doesn’t make sense. Or their product placement models will be every other car on the road. I see you Transformers.
To be fair, Transformers was always product placement. Not just “full of” it, but “entirely built of” it. They designed a line of toys first and made up a story to help sell them afterward.

The Iron Man movies were chronic for this, Audi really made them significantly worse.
The single worst example was I Robot.
