I am really tired of these car commercials within a movie....it's on thing to
use a car in a scene, but it's totally different to have a commercial for the
car.  Examples; the BMWs in the Bond movies are clearly commercials, where the
Benz M class that was in The Lost World movie was barely noticeable and not an
obvious plug.

I also just saw Armageddon, and again there was a pointless scene of them
driving a Z3 that was an obvious commercial.  I find that VERY annoying, but
if Audi did it, I would be cheering!   Since everyone is now doing this, Audi
might as well join in and start pushing thier cars in movies....
