If Bond is looking for a sportscar, there's either the new Lotus Esprit (last used by Sir Roger in For your eyes only).
Alternatively, there's the McLaren MP4-12C (would make a change from the Astons which have mainly looked almost identical over the last 15 years):
If it's a more traditional Bond motor, how about the elegant Bentley Brooklands?
I'd say that a Bond motor has to be British! :)
If Bond were to drive a Bentley, why not go with a model that was one of his favourites in the novels? Since the Continental seems to be frowned upon due to its association with rappers, I would say put him in the new Mulsanne.

and yes it was nice chase scene :-)
hmm - what about a horse? Yes just good old way of transport - why not to include the chase scene oriented about hmm London Olympics? Maybe Bond chasing someone near Greenwich Park, and borrowing a horse?

The first is a brand new Aston Martin, either a new DB9/DBS, a Vantage (V12 of course) or a performance version of the Virage. Given the relationship it had with Ford, they can bring in Ford cars in India, South Africa and etc, or have Aston put down more cash and get a new DBS more gadgets and screen time. Also, it could always roll out the Lagonda marque if its ready.
The second and most appealing for the auto maker, is Bentley. A new Continental brings Bond full circle to his roots, but it means opening for a Bond baddie in a Bugatti, Audi, Lambo, Porsche, with Audis and Volks and even Suzukis spotted here and there.
Third, and equally cool, the new Lotus Esprit sprinkled with the odd appearance of a Proton. Less heft as Lotus hasnt really had a good GT in a few years.
anyways.... my ideas would be.....
Aston Martin Virage - maybe this time, switch it up and go convertible..

i love the look of the gunmetal color, so they definitely need to stick with that... it's an elegant, but tough look..
Jaguar
or the new Lotus
...other than that, no thanks. I don't know why, but I can't stand the Bentleys...not a single one.
I don't like the Bentleys either...they look too block-y and "old man" (albeit incredibly wealthy older man) to me. My preference is for an Aston Martin.
DB9 Coupé/Volante
V8/V12 Vantage
DBS V12
Rapide
Models since 2001... Very repetitive... I don't want to see another Aston Martin in a Bond film until they can find a new design.
or why not...
you can't improve on perfection!! ~:>
FRWL is NOT perfection
and those cars aren't perfection there ______ ____
A couple years ago there were rumors of Jaguar making an XF coupe, but unfortunately those seemed to have died off
Really be realistic. The only car I would consider to replace the AM is the Jag XKR or a piece of fruit.
