Anyone else notice the TL plug in Mission Impossible 3?

Early in the movie when the Ethan Hunt character (Tom Cruise) goes into the liquor store, the camera just had to be at a low angle where it went across the back of a TL before he entered the store. The TL was shown in so much detail, you could read the TL emblem and even read the license plate on it.

I wonder if Acura had to pay for this spot? Anyone else who watched the movie notice it?

I thought it was pretty cool, I'm guessing it was the other agents car. It was 7/11 that they were parked at...

Maybe just a bit...

I think we're getting hypersensitive because it's similar to one of our friends being an extra in a movie. Lambos, Ferraris, etc are in movies practically all the time. During the scene where the bridge got blown up, wouldn't it have been better if Ethan Hunt got in a 6MT TL instead of that prissy-looking Mercedes Benz convertable? :ghey:

In the "Matrix Reloaded," Cadilac must have paid some royalties bigtime for allowing their cars to get shot up.
