Have you seen the film?

Agreed DB5 looks the dogs dangly bits as always, and I could have lived with it, minus the gadgets, that's all.
OK, My point is this, the car is from a brilliant Bond movie, my favourite, with gadgets galore (No pun) but belongs in 1964, not in the same guise unaltered in a Bond movie of 2012, in the context of the rest of the film it just doesn't fit
Roger, Tim and George had their own cars. Pierce also had the same car but it worked better for the tone of his films but by no means ideal. New Bond, new car! And it seems to be a technique they use to imply we are getting classic Bond. But it just reminds me of Connery's shadow as that car is a symbol of his era.
my gripe with the DB5 coming back is not to do with a proposed timeline, i just think it has come back too many times already. for me the DB5 belongs to a certain era of bond rather than belonging to bond.
alternatively if it had been the DB5s first reappearance since TB, maybe it would have felt more nostalgic seeing it in SF.
It's Bond's personal car, so I don't think it's a huge deal. Plus,
Too many questions raised, a great example of how credibility will get thrown out the window (or ejected through the roof) for the sake of a gag. Not that different from the dumb music cues from other films in the Moore pictures, except these cues are coming from a pre-reboot universe.
There is more that does not fit in this movie but at least the car scene was a great one.
The timeline is fine as this is DC's Aston from the reboot.
If he had a delorean that would really mess with my mind.
There's nothing in the previous two Craig films to suggest that Q branch even exists. Okay, in this one it does presumably as we are introduced to the new Q.
But this is just one of those things that some folk make allowances for and others don't. I find it jarring to say the least.
This is at the heart of my point, the car depicted in Skyfall is Sean's, it is classic Bond, even though he criticised it saying that the pedals where too close together, more for a women, but it does belong in 1964.
Daniel Craig is a good 007 for our time & he has a car, it's the DBS a brilliant modern car that fits, the only way the DB5 could have fitted was the unmodified version won in Casino Royale.
There is no official timeline.
Definitely the worst excuse in the history of bad excuses. None of this makes sense at all.
And Craig's is clearly a separate timeline. The rest is one muddle.
Do you really need to attack everything I post about this car that you don't like?
Grow up, I say. If the Lotus would've been included you would've jumped for joy like a Justin Bieber fan.
Your justification is that we barely see the gadgets and that we 'had' to have some references in there. Why did we? I would have been fine seeing the gadgets if there was some logic to it. It's not like it's a passive experience. The machine guns fire and you think WTF where did he get those?
As for the Lotus, given that my ENTIRE argument is that the gadget laden DB5 is at odds with the logic of the Craig films do you really think I'd want to see a Lotus in it, or are you being petty and childish?
Why does there have to be tributes or references?
This is my biggest grip with recent Bond films, at least this wasn't DAD, if I had one wish for Bond it's stop looking at it's past, move on as if really starting a fresh, don't keep referencing what's gone before, it's becoming like some bloody awful tribute act.
Omg.
And attacking people who don't agree.
