G-MANN ◊ 2009-02-19 15:21	The cars and scenery are entirely CGI.
sixcyl ◊ 2011-04-10 09:53	Very anachronistic show-room relatively to the story
G-MANN ◊ 2011-04-10 15:59	Not really, this scene is supposed to be set in the early 60s, and the Mercedes Gullwing was made from 1955-1963. All the anachronistic vehicles in this film are listed here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0352520/goofs -- Last edit: 2011-04-10 16:00:53
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2011-04-10 16:33	I think sixcyl was talking about the design of the showroom itself.
G-MANN ◊ 2011-04-10 17:29	Although it's not exactly a typical showroom (but then these aren't ordinary cars) I don't see what about it anachronistic.

I do remember that the cars seemed incorrect to any motorhead with a sense of history. That reflects poorly on the production in my estimation.
