James Bond

How good does the new Bond film look?!

We get the DBS back, sadly it's just not as cool as it used to be. But James undoubtedly is!

i think he should get a Noble M15 myself, or maybe go back to the original and use a bentley, car chase with suicide doors! XD

Blower Bentley yeah. New Bentley? He's a spy, not a footballer

not a continental obviously, n the big bentley is quick enough, it's just claustrophobic, as long as its got room its quicker than any car that size has a right to be

Hmmm these days if I were picking a big car I wouldn't get one.

How about...........



Maserati Quattroporte

Know nothing about Bond, but felt the need to reply: MASERATI QUATTROPORTE

but itallian

bentley isn't quite british i know, but at least it used to be, like aston, bond should drive british really, ariel atom mkII would be funny, or a radical, ultima GTR mkII could work... or the trans am editition if he wants the wind in his hair...

Do we really have to carry that "British" stigma? I mean, his suits have been Italian for years, his watch Swiss, etc etc

but the cars have always been british, like the vodka's alvays been russian, i think bond has a line at some point saying he prefers british cars as well, its either him or Q, or possibly both

New bond film...

As action movies go, it's not bad, but I don't think it's up to the standard of previous bond films.
The camera shots are very close up and fast moving in action shots, much to conform with the american film industries idea of modern action movies, and it lacks some of the style of previous bond films.
The storyline is disjointed and not the easiest to follow, it comes across as more of a political dig at a few groups of people at times. As for the ending it's rather abrupt.

PAG are still evidently providing most of the transport for the film, with the exception of a few alfa's at the beginning.

The 'british' cars in the films haven't been owned by the brits for years...

well the current best truly british alternatives are the jetstream, a radical, or an ultima, they aren't exactly bond cars, perfect for a track day tho..... so the Aston is the closest they can get having a british heritage. the ariel atom wouldn't look too out of place as a gadget though.

Didn't see many Volvos...

Seeing as AM have now been sold with the exception of a minority stake, and the Land Rovers, as you should know, are Tata.

The film tie-in is owned by Ford, of which PAG is only a subsidiary. Consequently, you will probably have spotted the new Ka cameo in there, which was never PAG.

I spotted a couple...you obviously weren'y watching closely!

LR still belonged to Ford when the movie was being filmed.

And I was referring to PAG as the Ford group as a whole, admittedly within the structural formation of the company it does come under Ford.

Then again you are probably just trying to prove me wrong and make yourself look clever .
