I find this practice invasive and pernicious, particularly because I have to put up with advertising in nearly every domain of life nowadays, and when it also takes over my alleged 'entertainment', it really gets on my nerves. I just don't enjoy being treated like a consumer at every possible turn, especially when doing so compromises the integrity of a scene. Given that this is a MBay movie, I can expect this to happen routinely and that turns me off in advance.
Okay.. Where in the trailer do you see that? The only way I know they are Chevys is because... well.. I recognize them!

And just for you:
