I thought we're going have "Bond with a capital B," not QUANTUM OF SOLACE Mk. II. Bring back the imaginative lethal gadgets, not the stuff I could order on Amazon.
I can see where you are coming from. I don't see them going over the top with the gadgets for some reason? I think we will have more familiar Bond elements like GB at the start of the film, familiar charactor's, the Bond theme in the movie( As a guess during the DB5 chase IF? it is a chase?). Maybe even a major lair?
I found your thought about the lair very interesting and started a thread of it's own about it:

Join the discussion!
Cheers, just commented on it, as it got me thinking too! ;))
"Bond with a capital B" with everything minus the car gadgets. ;) I can't see them going there, in today's times, at least. A decent car chase with good editing would be enough to put it above what we got in Quantum Of Solace - it was that bad.
Check out the photos of the stunt driver on the roof! I never knew they did it like this!!!

That Honda in YOLT was sexy and the whistle blower was good in TMWTGG. Change is good. A jag or a Nissan skyline, oh yes Skyline for Skyfall the car that won't Skyfail 007. tenuous marketing blurb. Love it.

I thought 2 Toyota was use in You only Live twice & the American car brand AMC were use in The Man with the golden gun. 1 of them was driven by Bond & Roger Moore did his own stunt in that scene, You got it all wrong.
If not not an Aston Martin, My guest it could be The Range Rover Evoque. @Jaguar 007 I hope it could that 2 seater Jaguar. Every month nothing new come up. So we should say to Eon, Come on Eon tell what James Actual Company car is. It should announce by now.
I don't think they want to resurrect any memoirs of DAD in SkyFall.
I think the Vanquish is the best looking Aston Martin personally.
Well, still no sign for Bond getting another car in SF except the DB5.
But as I have written in the SF photo thread, there seems to be proof that he will be driving a Jag XJ at some time of the movie at least:
"British racing car driver Ben Collins, better known to "Top Gear" fans as The Stig, is back in the employment of James Bond. The driver was seen behind the wheel on location with the "Skyfall" production team in London dressed in the same outfit as Bond."
This obviously means that he is doubling for Bond in that scene. As he seems to be sitting in an Jag XJ like the ones we have seen during the shooting 'round Trinity Sq and it's the same outfit that DC wore during those scenes it seems to be the first proof, that Bond actually does drive that Jag in those scenes!
True, though there was the news that stunt drivers had went to Shanghai for filming on the motorways there. I doubt it will be a major scene as there was only 3 days of filming, but Jaguar may have provided the new Jag 2 seater or XFR or something.
We also still don't know for sure what the silver Land Rover Defenders are for!
Shirlz00 - Like the idea of that, it's a while since Bond commandeered an "ordinary" car, though could that be the case with the Beetles in Turkey?
Yep you could be right there? Perhaps also the use of one of those VW Beetles?
And it makes perfect sense, because honestly speaking: why does Bond always get fitted out with a brand new 200 grand sports car on tax payers expenses?! Yeah, to fit his cover story - like in CR. Where he arrived with his "fiance" by train but then that DBS was waiting for him in front of the hotel... And after wracking that silver DBS in CR, there was absolutely no need for giving him a new black one at the beginning at QoS!
So it's believable if he only gets to drive an MI6 owned Jag (probably M's limousine) and later switches into his private vintage DB5 - which he has won in that poker game in CR.
Speaking of those VW Beetles: I really don't know what they might be good for. In Bond's tradition it would be a classic car for a Bond girl to pick him up with, but on the other hand someone mentioned that those were not the new generation of Beetle but old ones. And if they would feature a car like that Ford Camille drove in QoS it would be a brand new type for sure as a product placement, of course.
Maybe they are just to be blown up???
It worked in CR because of the gag about him winning it in a card game - a nice touch. Now though he can leave it in the garage IMO.
It's a shame Bourne beat Bond to it. A Mini chase round London could have been good. Still, I think there would be lots of potential in a chase using a London taxi - perhaps including confused/bemused tourist on the back seat. Or is that to Moore-esque?
