    Bond drives to the villain's (Rami Malek) villa, in his DB5, only to find a lime green Valkyrie parked by the door. Rolls his eyes. Enters the house.

    I don't know, I'm more a GT lover, I've never been impressed by super- or hypercars, allthough I like the tech. It's an interesting vehicle for sure.

    Something more suited for an OTT villain to stroll around, right? I think so too.

    Nice update from Little Nellie? (see 1.30 in)

    AFAK the emergency services already ordered the PAL-V. Certainly would be fun to see JB fly around in it.

    Exactly what has been missing from the Craig era, some classic school boy escapism. A few bolt on machine guns, heat seeking missiles and away we go...

    The DAD/CR/QOS Astons were better looking IMO.

    Frankly I wish they'd give Aston a rest. It's become really tedious. Please no DB5 as well.

    There were years when Aston didn't get a look in. I don't think Rog ever had one did he? Who cares. We certainly don't need an Aston Martin in every film. Once or twice a decade is more than enough. I was happy when they announced Aston were back after the depressing 'sell your soul' BMW years, but now it's been totally overdone.

    And there's no reason he can't be seen in something else once in a while. The Toyota in YOLT is one of my favourites.

    Personally, I would like to see him return to his litterary roots and get a Bentley Continental GT.

    I've thought that once or twice as well.

    Depends on context. He needs to be driving it in the right location. Otherwise this could look absurd.

    Plus Bentley has unfortunate R&B/gangster connotations these days.

    But then you'd have "true fans" moaning "WHY AINT HE DRIVING DA AM"

    A Toyota? remember the backlash with the Mondeo. It's still only a movie, my boy.

    The brand will be back in B25, already confirmed months ago.

    When the DB5 showed up in SF, the audience in my theater was cheering.

    who wants to see the same car every time? they need to mix it up more.

    Sigh. But I do agree that the DB5 felt a bit out of place in SP.

    The new Superleggera Volante will do nicely.

    But I still have the feeling that they will introduce the DBX with this movie.

    Because f... the environment. ;-)

    If it has to be other than Aston Martin, the Bentley should be gunmetal gray.


    If Bond gets a "rental", that's an opportunity to introduce a tricked up Silver Beast.

    Spot on here. Surprisingly, we're in the minority who feel this way. Didn't mind BMW though.

    I hope the AM gets minimal screen time, with zero gadgets. And for @QBranch to say this, it must mean something.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, Saab is, was and will nver be a Bond-car. The fact that a continuation-writer got it all wrong doesn't mean the films should go the same way. Bond's car, whichever it would be, should breathe excitement, adventure, long-distance travel.

    Saab breathes safety, speed limit-but can go faster!(except for the traffic)- home-to-work travel. No matter how many rockets you put under it.

    The AMG SLS could've been a true contender, Bentley, Lotus, even perhaps an Alfa Romeo 8C.
    I wouldn't mind him jump in a Jag or Maserati either.

    Aston Martin need to be part of a larger group.

    Surprised one of the German carmakers hasnt gone for it to be honest.

    PSA is apparently looking to buy JLR from TATA. JLR and Aston Martin are natural bedfellows - seemed to work quite well when Jag and Aston were both part of Ford.

    Aston cannot survive on its own anyway.
