I read something about it in the trivia section of IMDb...It's like a reference to another movie or something.

They would have been cooler if they had had SUPERSTAR bumper stickers.

I am pretty sure it's the director's car (or somebody else involved in the movie).

are you telling me you are unaware of "product placement"?

reply

It was a reference to the movie "Bullitt" with Steve Mcqueen. In the famous car chase scene there is a dark green Volkswagen that appears repeatedly.

reply

I don't believe that's confirmed.

The New Beetle had just come out, and I believe at some point I read the director thought they were so ugly so they would fit into the movie perfectly
