One of such brands is the Volkswagen which is a compact vehicle that has been featured in and played iconic roles in epic movies over the years. In the 1968 classic, Love Bug, Herbie almost becomes one of the characters as the highly personified car with added gadgets that it uses to react to different situations. This particular movie draws attention to the 1964 Volkswagen Beetle even many years later. The first to second Golf models of this brand have also been featured in a number of movies especially in foreign movies with non-English titles proving its wide reach.
The Mercedes Benz brand aids in making the characters role more concrete, providing the necessary edge with its sleek and luxurious features. Over the years the different models have been incorporated to suit specific roles, from the early days of The Transporter before Jason Statham started driving Audis, the Mercedes S class was his go to mode of transport with its sleek and professional look.
