Not that ugly beast of a car from the most unimaginitive carcompany since the Ford came up with the idea that everybody ought to have the same vehicle! No! There's no class in any Porsche. Bond should never drive a stretch-beetle, ever!
that's just my twopence ;-)
Don't like the new Jag either. Don't know what's gotten into Ian Callum, but this isn't good. The old one I did like though (Jag, that is). Nope, I'm afraid there isn't much choice around these days, as I guess a Spyker is out of the question too.
Anyways, a Maserati GranTurismo in blue or light silver would be sharp. Or a white Audi R8.
Yes it is nice car, but in my opinion just targeted to the guys who drive Porsche, and need more space for family. Don't treat this bad, but it is nothing that I want to see in Bond films...
If not, then stick to the Aston Martin :)
Craig's Bond has made the DBS his car, much like Connery had the DB5. Moore had the Lotus Esprit, Dalton had the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Lazenby had the Aston Martin DBS V8, and Brosnan had a series of BMWs (Z3, 750i, Z8) and the Aston Martin Vanquish -- but they never bonded like Connery did. No pun intended.
The DBS is in need of a facelift. Yes, it's a beautiful car, but it could be more beautiful. Currently, it's based off of the DB9, which is coming close to kicking 10 years old. The DB9 feels old and worn out, which is part of the reason why Aston rolled out the Virage. Bond, however, can't drive the new Virage. Driving the Virage would mean a step down in power and price from the DBS, and it's nowhere near as sporty as the DBS - it's more of a GT car.
With the DB9 getting ready to kick the bucket, Aston should be revealing the production spec models of the DB9(2) and the DBS(2) at next year's Geneva Motor Show. What better way for Aston to gain publicity, and Bond to gain style points, than to put him in an all new DBS. I trust the Aston designers, and the design would stay true to the current model, so I think this is the best plan.
Bond shouldn't go back to Bentleys, like he did in Carte Blanche. They're just no what they once were. Lotus shouldn't be expected to make an appearance for a while either, mainly because of the revolution. There are more BMW 3-series around than Ford Mondeos, they're too ubiquitous. Bond and AM belong hand-in-hand.
These are two links to two concept/production Aston Martin vehicles, ones a SUV and the other is the new ONE-77.
Which do you think should be featured in BOND 23?

If not the Aston, it's got to be the Jag XKR or the Massa or even the Citeron C6, they used one in the last series of Spooks. It looks like a spy's car.
http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/Secret-new-cars/Search-Results/Spyshots/Lotus-Exige-2012-spy-photos/ The One-77. What the hell were Aston thinking with the Lagonda? It's like the Cygnus or the AMR-One - it looks hideous.
But for those of us (me included) that loved the opening chase in QoS, its a little upsetting :P

I'm not a lover of Italian cars; I find them to be excessive. I've always much preferred German engineering. But I have to admit, the MC Stradale is a real beauty.
The Maser is a beauty, and I wouldn't mind Bond driving one of those as I understand they're extremely good drives, but tbh I think the DBS is still good enough. I don't need him to drive another type every episode. It's still a company car, and I know of no company that gives its employees different car every year.
leaving the virage,the zrygo and the Lagonda
I would like to see the Lotus as the villen's car though..
Also we seem to be forgetting that bond owns a DB5...
Shadow that Maserati is absolutely gorgeous.
But I think when thay trashed Bond's dbs in QoS it may have been a sign, with no Q in the films, that a) Q will be present in this film to provide a new car. Or b) Bond will be moving on from the dbs.
to tell you the truth i would like to see Bond not drive a supercar till the very end of the film, want a local car, to blend in dont you think an AM would stick out like a sorethumb in india?
I don't like the one-77, nor the new Zagato.
