No, that is Craig. There were many photos of him taken during the filming of that scene a couple of weeks ago.
It is? Wow, but when the camera gets closer, his face is very strange so i thought it wasn't him.
I read this yesterday but icannot see this as being fact? Yes we all know the DB5 is being used, but only as transport, nobody can confirm at the minute if gadgets had been used? Treat that part of the article for now as creative bull****!
* Front and rear extending over-rider rams;
* A radio telephone concealed in secret door compartment;
* Triple spiked nails inside the offside rear light; and
* An armaments drawer under the front driver seat
Obviously, the radio telephone is unnecessary, but there could be something else hidden in the door. Personally, I'd like to see Bond being chased while protecting M, and Bond pulling a whopping huge hand cannon from the drawer under his seat to M's surprise and/or dropping a few spiky nails behind him to give us a nice crash stunt for the tailing baddie. I know a lot of people don't care to see gadgets in Bond films nowadays, but if done right, the 'fully loaded' DB5 could work.
Agreed. Done right and done sparingly, a few tricks and gadgets in the car would be brilliant.

That Classic Aston Martin is only his off Duty car. I just don't want him to use in company out gadgets. You know what to the new Aston in the previous 2 Bond movies. You lot don't what you writing. I don't if not an new Aston Just his new Mi6 car needs Bullet proof protection. Q will be returning @agent 005 will be play Ben Whishaw.
Of course, but it can still have gadgets, and Bond can still drive it on duty IF he has no alternative.
Really? Personally I'm not sure, given Bonds age in the current film and the contemporary setting its a little puzzling that they've brought the DB5 back at all, unless he smuggled home the car he won in Casino Royale and then it mysteriously was given 60's number plates and a conversion to right hand drive!!!
I've read elsewhere the debates on timelines etc. As far as I'm concerned each actor gets his own timeline. Using the DB5 in Casino Royale was cool and clever, they may tie it in well for this movie too, we will have to wait and see. However I don't believe Q branch would waste time adding gadgets to an almost 50 year old car. Thankfully the car that arrives in Scotland looks standard and unscratched, so I think it is just a means of transport and won't be in a chase sequence.
Perhaps if it is Bonds personal car abandoned in a lock up for years, he won't have changed the oil or serviced it properly? So it might produce a very effective smoke screen like in Goldfinger.....
Aston Martin DB5. It going to be Range Rover Evoque. May not be his company car but a rented or villain he normally steals. But this Range Rover in definetlye going to be in it with the wheels behind 007. That all got say. & mind I'm disappointed if the Mi6 don't issue him a company car. I accept the cars in it. I just be glad the Daniel Craig has come as Bond.
I wonder what the vehicle action in China will be? I still think either an XF or Evoque must be the most likely options, and there is a car which could be an XF in the foreground of the pictures when they were filming outside that office block in London (which was apparently doubling for Shanghai). Its difficult to tell with the bright lights they use to illuminate the set.
Can't wait for this....Aston Martin DB5 Back for James Bond’s Skyfall

...BOND BACK BEHIND THE WHEEL OF AN ASTON MARTIN IN SKYFALL - "British spy James Bond is set to jump back behind...
British spy James Bond is set to jump back behind the wheel of an Aston Martin for the upcoming 007 movie, Skyfall, due in cinemas in November.
The iconic British sports car brand confirmed to Fairfax Australia that Bond will again drive an Aston Martin, as he has in most of the 22 Bond films to date.
Already British media have spotted the world's most famous spy behind the wheel of the legendary Aston Martin DB5 - first used by Sean Connery as Bond in Goldfinger from 1964 - but it appears he could also drive a newer version of the British supercar.
The DB5 was also used in Casino Royale, but it was initially driven by the baddie (and, later, 007) and didn't take part in any stunts, so wasn't fitted with any weapons or spy gadgets.
Speaking at the Geneva motor show, design boss Marek Reichman confirmed that Bond would be back behind the wheel of an Aston Martin: "yep, there will be an Aston Martin [in Skyfall]".
Which one? Reichman wasn't going into details.
Neither was Aston Martin boss Ulrich Bez.
"I only read the magazines and they say the DB5 will be there," said Bez. "The DB5 is there which is great ... the brand is there."
But will there be a new Aston Martin in Skyfall?
"Definitely not in the film," said Bez with a smile, before leaving the door open by saying "I would not know..."
But it appears likely there may indeed be a new Aston Martin in Skyfall, with Reichman confirming a car will be suitably prepared for Bond.
"I can't say," he said when asked what Aston Martin would be used.
But he did hint it would be given the Q treatment.
"Well it's James Bond, so he needs stuff to do his work!"
While 007 typically drove Bentleys in the original Ian Flemming novels, he has long been associated with Aston Martins in the blockbuster movies.
Aston Martin claims it has never paid to be featured in the films - as other brands such as BMW have previously - instead getting heavily involved in building special stunt cars.
"It's a gentlemanly relationship, it's not a monetary thing," said Reichman. "They don't charge us and we don't charge them."
He said it was a great way to showcase the brand.
"I can't think of a better advert. It's really important [for Aston Martin] - it's a great marriage between two brands."
And it seems Aston won't be the only traditional British brand on show in the film. Craig has also been spotted filming in a Range Rover.

I'm a bit tired of the DB5 personally. I'd be happy to see Bond in another British sports car - perhaps a Lotus, although they're a bit flash. Just had a look at the Lotus site and the Eterne http://www.lotuscars.com/ca/our-cars/future-range/eterne looks the part. Or possibly a Bristol Fighter - retro but new http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/fighter.html.
And the Bristol looks too much like a 90's Aston, imo. Not a modern look what so ever.
