Bond Cars that Should Have Been, or Should Be
BMW_with_missiles
All the usual refinements.
The missed opportunities of the past, and new opportunities for the future. What cars should Bond drive/have driven?
Take the BMW Z3 from GE. Not a particularly good looking car IMHO, and highly underutilized, some say due to it being a prototype and BMW being unwilling to risk its destruction in a stunt. At the same time, they were producing a much more beautiful, and often overlooked car; the 8 series.
The though of an action sequence in a Bond movie featuring this car is the stuff of my dreams!
Or perhaps, instead of the horrible Hornet in TMWTGG, the Bricklin SV-1;
What cars do you wish Bond had driven? What cars would you like to see him drive going forward?

The tech already equipped on the car straight from Holden was good enough for Q to have made it.
Came here to say this. A British icon and would have been a nice fit for Lazenby if they hadn't gone with Aston Martin again, or even for Moore. Nice seeing it cameo in the new Kingsman film.
Aside from the E Type I would have liked to see him in a Bentley at some point. And the DB7 could have been a nice fit in the Brosnan era. It's also a shame that the DB9 came out just as a four year gap set in, but there is a danger of overusing the Astons I think. I'm not sure every single Bond should drive them. The next actor should have something different imo. Maybe a Jag or the new Bentley speed six.
In terms of cars from the films that were underused it was a shame Connery's vintage Bentley in NSNA didn't get a bit more screentime, and I always liked the Z8 (although I do like how it was used, Bond finally gets to it and thinks yeah this will be easy now and then it's sawn in half almost straight away, that was a nice twist).
Even for Bond a classic Lancia Flaminia Super Sport would have been a tasteful choice:
Stunning car.

I agree but I love the Z8 nevertheless.
You can say that again. It is the same with architecture. Just no class and style around anymore.
Anyway, as a Dutchman, I should obviously offer the Carver One:
But, don't worry, there's a new little Nelly based on this in the making:
Bugatti EB110:
That car has some style and personality, unlike the monstrosities from the 90s and beyond.
The Saab 900 Turbo was the one I was thinking about too! Icebreaker on screen. You certainly have my support for that. The snowplough scene was a real highlight!
I would love 'Icebreaker' to get the screentime it deserves !!!!
