Toyota Land Cruiser Got Dino-Sized Shaft in 'Jurassic Park' Movie
The Jeeps and Explorers that gained oh so much popularity after being featured in Steven Spielberg's mega hit, "Jurassic Park," were actually Toyota Land Cruisers in the book written by Michael Crichton.

Yup, all this is is product placement/advertising. Whoever is the highest bidder gets their vehicles in the movie. What the writers and producers want isn't too relevant. These days, most TV shows and movies blatantly place products for revenue. It's annoying when it's in your face and distracting from the show itself though. Especially when the camera pans over the badge.

The Mercedes used were way cooler than any of the Toyota counterparts or anything they could offer. Especially the 6 wheel g-wagon. Landcruisers just look bland in comparison

in reality, book has "boring" land cruisers, as does rest of the real world while MB has to pay product placement to get there.

In the fictional novel or fake world of Hollywood, you can use whatever vehicle strikes the audience's fancy.
Jeeps etc appeal to American audiences which equals some product placement.
In the real world of Africa, Asia and South America. Toyota, Nissan body on frame suv's are all over those continents, usually diesels. Nobody's gonna fix a high end suv in the Sahara.
I think suv's are supposed to be boring if that's the correct term. That's because they're utility vehicles. The UN bought thousands of Land Cruisers over the years. They work and they're reliable.

Have any statistics to back that statement up? There are plenty of Mercedes all over the world, including that 6x6. Especially in Dubai. Furthermore, you realize that the author could have been paid by Toyota to have their cars in his book, right?
