I think sponsorship is most effective for lesser known companies who wish to build brand awareness rather than straight "X company sponsors X team therefore I will buy their product" type of thinking.
I think a good example would be Medion sponsoring Sutil/Force India in F1. I would probably not have heard of them otherwise and just maybe it makes me trust them a little more now that I have heard their name and more likely to consider their products next time I have to chose a computer.

Too many to list. In the past in particular I paid great attention to the details of the cars, including every little sponsor, including (and especially) on the smaller teams cars. I'm very influenced to get any products that have sponsored small teams if it's suitable to do so, as a way of appreciating their input.SPAM - Going off topic to give you the deals you don't want.

Never once, even — as far as I know — subconsciously, have I been influenced in my product-buying choices by sponsorship.

Just out of curiousity, is anyone aware of any case of anyone being influenced to start smoking due to the presence of Marlboro etc? I can't say any of that ever had an effect on me, and they seemed to spend a ton of money on the teams.

I still use Castrol oil but only because my father did when I was growing up and I don't want to upset any balances in my car that have kept it running for nine years. There was a period of experimenting with Mobil 1 when I bought this one but the stuff would just vanish at an alarming rate. I think my father got hooked on Castrol since he had a BMW coupe in the early 70s and some of their racing cars were sponsored by them.
I never smoked though there were a few people in the early era of Chicago Subaru club meetings that went out of their way to find 555 cigarettes.
