There’s a big difference here. There’s product placement and then there’s this - a forced product.
Not really. Cars especially tend to get a bit goofy in their placements. I remember in the 1st season of Heroes when 2 characters flew into LA and drove in their rented Nissan Versa across the country, with lots and lots of beauty shots. Some show I was watching with the wife and the characters weren’t sure where they were going and one said “well put it into [brand of car’s] navigation system”, she joked that somebody got paid. It’s all pretty standard, cause the money guys negotiate it then tell the writers to make it happen.
