that's cool, but an expensive promotion for the theater for just one movie.

Interesting choice of car, considering the original Transformers were mostly VWs. Volkswagen refused to allow their vehicles to be used in the new movies because all of a sudden they have a conscience and don't want their cars associated with violence.

This reminds me of M&M;'s refusing to be the sponsored candy in E.T. because of the 'creepy alien'... Reese's Pieces sales sky-rocketed after the film released!
