I'm also sure you have firms that work as intermediaries between producers and product firms to get their product exposed. It seems the same with the Laguna and Mondeo listed.
Sandie ◊ 2010-07-12 23:23	Turns out we're both right. Product placement per se is not allowed (that said a recent act has allowed commercial stations to do it... This show was on the BBC). However, there is nothing to stop car companies lending cars to productions. This company works for Volkswagen and BMW http://www.productplacement.co.uk/index.cfm
