Maybe in the Cars universe Enterprise Rent-A-Car is their version of an escort service.

If they re-designed the Enterprise logo to fit in more with the surroundings, it wouldn’t annoy me as much.

That is what @Phroobar was alluding to a few posts ago.

And now for something completely different.

Real world advertising in Cars Land.

Honestly this type of stuff doesn't bother me. DLR has had ads in the parks since 1955, whether thematically appropriate or not.

Also for those that really are having an issue with a rental car business in the Cars world, remember we're humans walking around that world in which humans don't exist.

I must have been scanning through the posts too quickly and overlooked that lol

I was going to say, hasn’t this sort of corporate advertisement synergy been happening in Disneyland since day dot?

I can agree it could be themed better however.

We are 4th dimensional creatures in their 3 dimensional world.

One theory that floated around for awhile is that the cars in the Cars world are the future evolution of the human species.

So think about that....

Curious, were they advertisements or sponsorships?

Well, I’m sorry to hear that, because this really has crossed a line. This is Six Flags level crappiness. As if Disney really needs the money—gag me. I would not be surprised to see hair product benches in Fantasyland next and then deodorant banners in Frontierland.

Agreed. I don't mind corporate sponsorships like Siemens and Small World/Dole and Tiki Room/Coca Cola and the Refreshment Corner/Impossible Foods and Pym's. It's a respectable way of promoting the company as a "partner" in creating the magic and all the positive associations that come with it.

Enterprise should have sponsored Mater (most thematically appropriate) or Luigi (if they were wary of the junkyard connotations).

Meanwhile, in Florida…

 

[Disney Irish]

No difference, if you plaster say Honda all over Autopia that is still an advertisement even is they are sponsoring the attraction.

 

[D.Silentu]

Glad to hear your opinion, but I remain curious.

If that is how you personally feel, well then more power to you.

We all have different levels of tolerance for things Disney does in the parks. Some things might bug me that doesn't bug you, and vice-versa.

Well maybe Enterprise is sponsoring all the benches in Radiator Springs.....

If they were creative enough to agree to alter their message just enough to fit into the Cars Universe as an actual company that would exist there, then yeah, that could actually be fun. As is, this is a creepy omen. I don’t wanna hear a single complaint if United Airlines benches start appearing in Galaxy’s Edge.
