Having seen this technique used so widely, it boggles my mind that someone can use it for really large items, like cars, given the amount of space and light they'd need. Then again, I suppose the larger objects are greenscreened or use the technique Blighty has proposed; it's just not realistic to use the technique in the article for, say, a Saturn V rocket!The big secret is that 'shopped photos are shot especially for this purpose, with controlled lighting and such.
No problems to shoot cars or even trucks on white backgrounds or greenscreens, just find a behind-the-scenes report on any big movie with SFX and you will see how big greenscreens can be. Set up is a bit longer but with car manufacturers the budget for the catalog and other print/web material is peanuts compared to the total advertisement budget.
And Saturn V rockets are rarely sold on catalogs...
