Like most of the people who would be interested in this thread, I notice the cars that are driven in the TV shows I watch.
It seems that in some cases the Manufacturers are getting a lot of promotion for their cars (I assume they pay for it in some way), and in other shows, the cars are not emphasized and in at least one case, the car is disguised.
NCIS and NCIS LA are huge promoters of Mopar, prominently featuring a Dodge Challenger R/T and Jethros Charger, but also giving good exposure to a Cadillac SRX. The Good Wife often features Alicia driving a nice, loaded Buick LaCrosse.
Oddly, Intelligence shows the main couple driving around in what appears to be a Ford Explorer, but the nameplates are concealed or obliterated, so you cant really tell what it is. Why on earth would they not be using a recognizable car and getting the promotional revenue? And why would Ford not want its vehicle featured prominently?
Anyone else see promotion of a particular vehicle on their favorite shows?
