Man and machine in perfect harmony. Hulk not required.

I believe so. I think that Aston (or whatever brand is being used) is also monetarily compensated. Combined with the product placement value, it seems like a pretty good deal.
Well, he doesn't drive the Range Rover (as far as we know).
When I read that, all I can think about is the James Bond theme in my head.

We've had it in GE, TND, CR and now SF. It smacks to me of a lazy homage the likes of which helped drag DAD down.
It just feels out of place. Bonds car in the books might be a classic but its got it when it matters and its difficult to outpace him. However if a villain is escaping from a casino in a modern supercar todays Bond would be left trundling along in his dust in this old banger.
The DB5 is an iconic part of Bond history but thats exactly what it is - history. The same with the PPK it used to look the part, but in QOS it looked like a museum piece. If Bond is going to be rebooted so that he was in the SAS and fought in Afghanistan or whatever then why is he still using antiquated equipment? Perhaps its because MI6 has spent all its budget on vast Minority Report style touch screen displays at HQ?
As mentioned in the Aston Martin DB5 Returns thread, Bond can get away with using his personal car in a chase if he is not on a current mission, but while he's driving, he receives a call of emergency and has to get to M straight away. Bond- with M as his passenger, must flee from the pursuing villains who will stop at nothing to kill M.
This, I would love to see.
Wonder whether Q (Ben Whishaw) will have implemented any gadgets on vehicle ? ejection seat LOL
