Re: Modern GM Cars & Trucks in Movies

I've watched Matrix: Reloaded last week, just for the car chase scene (I hate how the plot is linear, predictable and deprived of any surprises and mystique compared to the first part. Anyway, it was funny to see a motorway full of only GM cars. There were Auroras, Intrigues and some Pontiacs, I believe, accompanied by Police Caprices and Impalas. Has anybody seen a non-GM car in this scene (18-wheelers and motorcycles don't count as cars!)

I started thinking about it actually and I found it really hard to be able to think of a modern GM car in a film or TV show I have seen lately. GM really makes so little cars that come accross as striking enough to be used in movies where cars play a major role... OK, I've seen the French "Gossip" ("Le Placard") in January, Gerard Depardieu drives an Opel Frontera there...



...while searching for a capture, I've found this site - looks like Ming wasn't first
