I went to the website and looked around the still shots and downloadable screen saver section. To my surprise...Lara Croft is now driving a Jeep Rubicon in one of the still shots. I guess Lara Croft got tired of the leaks that her defender had.

Having Lara drive a Rubicon would be worth much more to Jeep than having her drive a Defender would be to Land Rover, since you cannot sell the Defender into the US market.   Alyssa Brown (Alyssa) Member Username: Alyssa Post Number: 49 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Friday, March 28, 2003 - 12:21 pm:    We just watched Tomb Raider last night, and there were LOTS of LR's, not just the defender. DIIs, 02 Rangie's, even a series truck. They were scattered throughout the film.   Camille Brown (Discolady) New Member Username: Discolady Post Number: 10 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 11:29 pm:    Spoke to a Marketing guy from LRNA @ G4 Kickoff and apparently Angelina/Lara refused to do any commercials w/LR and has refused a request from J**P to say their slogan/catch line in the movie...she is apparently anti-product placement...whatever!!! discolady
