One of the best cars Jááág has ever made.
Make it the new Esprit and you've got Craig's perfect entry for his first snow-Bond.
though some might say it's not that different from any of the other Astons, it is just achingly beautiful...
Yes,
Yes,
and Okay
Then again, like Craig's portrayal in Skyfall, the Aston suits him as well, the new Vanquish is very stylish, yet it has a refined rage to it once you get behind the wheel.
EDIT: Never mind the evora, just saw this:
That looks astonishing. I can easily picture Craig driving this from the Casino car-park in Monte Carlo to the italian alps.
Jaguar is a very nice idea, but for some reason does not quite sit comfortably with me. "The Jag that follows the Aston is generally a better car" and cheaper, but that is just the point, it is cheaper and everything about James Bond is to do with aspiration. His clothes, his watch, his lifestyle and sadly for Jaguar it does not quite make the mark.
Let us make no mistake here though. Without the halo effect of James Bond, Aston Martin might never have survived. Therefore it is even more correct that it is Aston Martin that "saves" James Bond on celluloid.
As for Lotus, great but fragile - not so british bulldog, more british stick insect! However, I like the re-styling with the ski's above.
Now if we are talking about interesting cars he could use on film then the list is endless. Jaguar could be a car he "borrows". Land Rover has done well in recent years with defenders, and Range Rovers - perhaps a Range Rover Sport, unless it belongs to a baddy in which case it will be a Mercedes GL or similar. Mini's are always good for a car chase (see Italian Jobs) in tight circumstances but then that has been done before. If you are going to have a chase then it needs to be original and as such so do the cars.
We will have to wait I suspect to just before fiming begins to think of the models available as manufacturers change specs so regularly something better is always around the corner.
It'll certainly be fun to speculate which car it is, as the film draws nearer.

That's a lotus
Saw this on another thread. DC would certainly not look out of place in that baby!
This looks amazing! all it needs is more verticals on the grill and it would be perfect
personally I think its an abomination.
Me too. It's like a shit pastiche of a better car. Who the F--- would buy that?
So doubt my choice of a Bentley Conty GT Supersports is just totally out of the question. I mean the DB5 Bond won and got souped up surely had insurance so he could replace with a new understated supercar??
DC would look very cool in that Lotus. I think it would really suit his style. Can see him in some retro 70s style skiing gear.
