Porsches in upcoming TV Pilots

Not technical, so in PPOT. I've read about 10 scripts for our upcoming TV pilots and I believe that 5 of them had references to a "Porsche" being driven. Some in action scenes, some as bad guys cars and some as just drivers. No references to model or year. I've got about 10 more to read.

So if at least two of the pilots make it would it increase the value of ours? Like what Gone in 60 Seconds did for fastback ponies?

The only 911 that I remeber in a sitcome was in Friends when Monica got her dad's - in real life I know she has one. The only other time one sticks in my head (but it was a movie classic ) was the Targa at the beginning of

There was another Porsche in a Friend's episode, Mike, wasn't there? I recall seeing a clip of one of the guys standing on the street admiring a silvery/grey 996, and a gorgeous woman walks up and starts hitting on him regarding the car. He pretends that it's his, right up until the owner walks up and drives off in it. Am I wrong?

Does Porsche usage in movies really increase the market value? Is this a demonstrable trend?

I have seen a Heineken commercial recently where one son is on the porch with his dad drinking some no label beer and then the other son pulls up in a 74-77 911 in Sepia Brown with black cookie cutters needing a little body work on the rear passenger side fender near the rocker. I think it was during the Grammy's because the wife noticed it first. Any way the son steps out with a bunch of Heiny's and the dad is all done with the other son.
