I don't have time to grab screen captures at the moment but I can guarantee with every ounce of my soul that you will have 3-7 closeups of the gleaming Chevy logo periodically throughout the flick. When you remember that nothing in a movie nowadays is accidental, these shorts really start to get on your nerves.
not entirely true. VW would not allow them to use the new beetle. Something along the lines of VW not wanting their brand associated with war/violence.
