Gizmag reports that for the next James Bond, the new Bond, Daniel Craig will be driving an Aston Martin. In the classic movies such as "Thunderball" and "Goldfinger" Bond used to drive an Aston Martin DB5 which was tricked out with all sorts of goodies like a tire slasher and pop-up guns. Since then, Bond has driven all sorts of cars including the Lotus Esprit and the BMW Z3. The last Bond film "Die Another Day" used an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish but for the next film, "Casino Royale" a new top secret car known as the Aston Martin DBS is being developed. It might just be the one reason to go see the new Bond movie.

There are three main reasons to see any and all Bond films:
1)Girls
2)Gears
3)Gadgets
(in that order)

I will be checking this one out...someone should convince Hollywood to raffle off the DBS to some lucky movie goer. Anyone who buys a movie ticket has a shot at winning. This would increase ticket sales, no?

At least one good information about this film.

The last information about that is James Bond would drive a FIAT Panda.

"I will be checking this one out...someone should convince Hollywood to raffle off the DBS to some lucky movie goer. Anyone who buys a movie ticket has a shot at winning. This would increase ticket sales, no?"

Take care what you wish for. The Vanquish in the last movie had its engine removed and a Ford V8 fitted to make room for an all-wheel-drive set-up that was needed for the ice-scenes. They showed the vehicles up-close in a report, and fit-and-finish was anything but perfect, which means in the real world you wouldn't be able to drive this car anyway.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the car once its finished, though. The sketches look great.
