Hi Stu,
It really just depends on what the 'creative' people decide. If they want to
go 'retro' you would think they would have to use a Tiger. If someone says
they need to go another direction is will be something like a Crossfire, or
some other current car with financial backing.
I rented out my workshop for use in the filming of the 'Fast and the Furious'
(it was the old brick building that was their garage/workshop). I remember
talking to one of their 'car consultants' and he said they weren't interested
in promoting certain speed products, they were more adamant about looking
authentic to the LA street racing crowd.
regards
Bob

Unlikely we'll see a Tiger.. My guess is that they'll see which car
company will pay them the most to use their newest model. "Product
placements", they call it. Big business in the movie world. Do you think
that when the star of a movie is seen drinking a Coke, or wearing a Rolex,
that the choice was based on whatever was available, or on some behind the
scenes deal? It's the deal, guys.
