I think we have our car.
Would I be opposed to Bond driving another car, however? Of course not! I liked Moore's Lotus Esprit and even Brosnan's BMW Z8 in The World Is Not Enough. (BMW gets some hate here but I think the Z8 was a very nice car.)
But the Bond series getting stale because he's driving Aston Martins? Come on DaltonCraig! I know you have better arguments than that!!!!! ;-)
And I do see what you are saying about the actual design of the car; it hasn't changed much...not at all if one is not big on cars. And I wouldn't mind in the slightest if they put Craig in a different car! I can't agree that the Aston Martin has become boring, however.
Do I think the series has turned into a tired formula with the help of the similar looking Aston Martins, though?
I can't say I do.
But maybe since that deal expired with QOS, that we'll get a different type of car! And like I said, I wouldn't mind it at all if Bond drove something different.
I will give you TB, though.
Anyway, relating to the topic thread, I think my most favorite non-Aston Martin I'd like to see Bond drive is the Bentley Continental GT. Very, very sharp car with Fleming roots. (Bond's Bentleys in the books)
EON is ever so close of running out of ideas.
Welcome to our forum! I'm sure you'll have a pleasant stay here. Please leave us a few details about yourself here:

Anyway, I understand why people would like to see another car. For me, the beauty hasn't withered a bit, keep 'm.
In the GE novelization we learn that Bond has purchased the Aston for his own personal use.
We definitely saw the Aston company car again in DAD, when it was visible that is.
I think a unique and classy care to see would be the Porsche Panamera:

for me, there's two options.
1)
Come on. I't even photographed at AVTAK's Chantilly!
2) why not do an "octopussy" in between? E.g. bond stealing a car? I loved the Alfa GTV6, and even the Benz 280-bit was fun, and to top it off that way you can step away for the astons for a bit...
