The Distracting Background Cars in Media Thread

[Sage Ages]

FLCL has an Alfa 156 in it at one point.

I believe I mentioned that earlier in the thread. Episode 3, right?

(Every Audi Cars sold in Japan are LHD)

Really?

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

Really?

European cars tend to be ordered in LHD for exotic tastes. Not all, but some, especially the big, luxury brands.

This thread has suddenly turned to "spot all the Alfa Romeos in Japanese animes", and i ain't even mad!

 

[Prenny]

Really?

My Bad! it seems i made a mistake and i didn't notice it! i mean that Audis sold in Japan were RHD*.
Sorry!

 

[MedigoFlame]

S14 240SX (Zenki) in the background of Fear The Walking Dead that distracted me. I hang out with S-Chassis guys too much.

Love Accord hatches.

And, a Vanquish and Rolls.

Watching Back to the Future for the millionth time (okay, maybe a slight exaggeration ) the other night. Never noticed this Supra before.

I recently was watching "Stupid Mario Brothers", a comedic type of show about the Mario characters and I saw 2 Jaguar E-Types behind Wario when he was dancing.

There's a Citroen DS in Speed Racer. http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_306266-Citroen-DSpecial.html Which appears to be followed by a Fiat Ducato Truckster Concept:

When watching seinfeld recently, there were a lot of cars that distracted me. Since I don't feel like screenshotting them, I'll just post links to the IMCDb page.

There was a VW bus in a episode of Pokemon I think it was in the Diamond and Pearl series.

Sam's '67 Corvette from Cheers:

Opel Speedster in National Security

And it seems to have a German license plate, of all things... Which is interesting, mainly because National Security's action happens mostly in 'Murica, so it's strange to see a car running a German plate in such an American setting.

Not if you've seen enough Volkswagen owners here.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

The same thing could be said about BMW owners. The other day, I saw a 3-Series with a euro plate on the front.

So it isn't such an uncommon occurence, it seems. Most of what's German in America's car scene is tied to Euro plates, from what I read in those quotes...

Ford Ka in Pacific Rim:

The film was so dreadful that seeing a car never sold in the US on the Golden Gate Bridge was a welcome distraction as it gave me something else to think about.

The the golden Concorde is equally distracting to me, Since it was my main transport to school for a while.

This isn't really "Background" Car but while i was watching one of Angry Joe's "Angry Review" of Rocket League, i noticed that Joe was driving a Mitsubishi 3000GT during the Intro and 3000GT was also seen during the Outro as well.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

There's a Renault Fuego in Groundhog Day:

EDIT: It keeps showing up in the background, it's definitely not an accidental placement.

Toyota Soarer in Girls und Panzer der Film:

 

[MedigoFlame]

Volvo 480 in the Ashens movie.

Mako and Sayuki's Sileighty in Initial D: Legend 3! Technically a background car because they hadn't been introduced at this point.

My sister was watching Home Alone 4 from the TV the other day while I happened to be sitting in the same room reading a book. I can't say I spent too much attention to the movie itself but the Mk4 Fiesta, which appeared in a scene most likely set in America did catch my eye.
