Actually, listening to the podcast, the director addressed this - he said that using cars that we are used to (Fords & Toyotas) would take the viewer out of the show - so he opted to use european cars, as inspired by the movie Gattaca. Thus, the viewer can recognise that they are vehicles, but not ones that he's used to seeing everyday.
Quite clever, in my opinion.
