When a movie features a car that is obiviously brand new, with a lot of mainstream Hollywood films, the studios have deals with car companies to feature their newest products in their films, should we start automatically listing the car as being made in the year the film was shot? Remember it takes about a year to make a film from pre-production to release, so films are often shot in the year before it is released, unless it is released late in the year, but with a car that looks completely new even though you can't always prove 100% what year it was made, it is fair enough to assume it was new when it was used in the film. With big budget movies they would definetely be able to get new cars especially if they have product placement deals.
