Too much of a Sport car, friend.
But Bond needs a Refined "enterprised" car, not a super racing vehicle.
'Here you go OO7, don't worry about bringing this one back!' :-j
Bentley Continental GT Speed gets my vote though.
Haha, imagine if it is controversal: Bond brings this one intact!
Hahaha, the right expression that he could show up.
But, which is the Bentley that you are talking about? Arnage?
Oh Yes. Well i had said the last page that Bond for me would stick with the Astons, but now i'm seeing and realizing that These cars has the style. The greatest style for Bond. However would be strange for all the Bond fans to get costumed with a different car being drove by Bond. (which fact wasn't like that way at Brosnan era, with all the BMW's - because it even combined with the Brosnan's Bond; although the only pity was that the Z3 wasn't used in GE) But, still could be a good idea, now that i'm seeing it further.

Would/should Bond be caught behind the wheel of a German made car?
Hard to say but in the MR novel at one point he is openly admiring Drax's Mercades, which is, if I'm not mistaken, a German car company (those who have read MR will know the background of Drax).
Nonetheless Fleming describes the car as "beatiful"
"The Mercades was a beautiful thing. Bond pulled his battered grey Bentley up alongside it and inspected it.
It was a Type 300 S the sports model with a disappearing hood, one of only half a dozen in England, he reflected. Left hand drive. Probably brought in Germany
..."Typical of Drax to buy a Mercedes. There was something ruthless and majestic about the cars, he decided, remembering the years from 1934 to 1939 when they had completely dominated the grand prix scene"
Seems that, regardless of the make/nationality, Fleming had high regard for a fancy car. Don't forget MR was published in the mid 50s - not long after the end of WW2. Even then Fleming was openly saying how much he liked these German cars.
He might be driving a korean sports car if the money is there for eon.
Jaguar makes cool cars, but for Craig they are too slender.

Or maybe mad max should :)
It may just look like a slightly improved Virage, but it's hard to improve on perfection.
(Bond should have the hard top)
Or drop him into the new Lotus Esprit Turbo:
;-)
Sorry, no, this looks like a ladies´ car.
Better. I even find the CX75 better than the Lotus.
autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/jaguar-c-x75-star-upcoming-james-bond-film-spectre ,since DAD & Casino Royale including Quantum of Solace, only 1 Jaguar XJ. Skyfall was only his old M car which he swap to his Classic Aston Martin DB5.
I think that's been proved wrong by recent events.
With regards to Jaguar, it dawned on me the other day that the brand has really become a little bit naff (may be it always was). The advertising and marketing is always a bit cheesy - sort of reminds me of the Rover adverts from the 80s and 90s - clinging to its lame 'British' identity rather than just focussing on building a reputation for making beautiful, reliable, desirable cars.
Jaguar really has a major challenge if it's ever going to properly going to challenge the likes of BMW, Audi and Merc in the lower end of the luxury segment. Currently Jag is an absolute minnow in global terms. TATA have great ambitions for Jag but there is a long way to go. A very long way.
The marketing aspect is odd, as I think Range Rover's image and marketing are very good. Generally not flashy. The cars are beautifully shot and there's generally no fuss. The cars basically speak for themselves. Jag needs to follow that approach more IMO. Less of the Mark Strong, Ben Kingsley nonsense please.
