SEE THE NEW BOND FILM. The first sequence they do parkour and those guys do that stuff for real. It’s a flippin’ trip.

european_one,

I haven’t seen the recent movie with the new Bond character yet, but I’ve heard nothing but good reviews on him. I’ve heard people say he is the best 007 since Sean Connery from many different sources.

As for Bond cars with missile launchers… the new films are moving away from being campy and unrealistic.

Bond cannot drive an Jaguar XK-R since the bad guys drove them in one of the Bronson films. Four door cars are inappropriate for Bond since it implies that he would be chauffeuring passengers. There should be room only for James and his honey du jour.

agree with Raiden18. bond drives astons, he should continue to do so.
hey where is gmrules or whoever he is number14ever something tell us bond should drive a caddilac because jag isnt even in the same class as caddilac etc. etc.

Maybe he should be driving a Land Rover LR2?

Forgot to mention the nice BMW bike in the movie Tommorrow Never Dies. That think was great.

Andrew,
Are you implying that Jaguars are made in Dearborn? If that’s what your saying, Jaguar makes and designs their own vehicles. Funding comes from Ford If I recall.

And as far as the whole James bond in a four door…
In 1997 James bond drives a 7-series controlled by his phone(I believe, haven’t watched since that date so). Several other BMWs have been used including a Z8 and a Z4 in recent years. Not to mention Lotus’ and such.

well he has to drive a ford.. so it wont be a corvette.

He should be driving a Corvette. Those miserable English cars break down more than they run. It’s about time Bond drove a decent reliable American made machine.

hahaha A4… yeah, the car needs to have a scud missle launcher strapped to it or something haha. But good call on using an XKR-R. I had the same thought– if hes driving a Jag because he can’t drive an Aston, they should at least pic the closest thing Jag has to an Aston, which is the XK… but i was also thinking that even an XKR isn’t quite badass enough. I wonder if Jag will make an RR version of this XK? Perhaps it will be another concept car, like in the last Bond movie.

By: A4

A4 — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 03:19:11 +0000

he ought to have an XKR-R or whatever theyre planning on making for their highest performance XK. Thats if he gets a jaguar. His car shouldnt have four doors. I hope whoever gets Aston gets the deal for the films after that. The one thing that pissed me off about the latest film was the lack of gadgets, so whatever he drives it better be jacked up with weapons.

What ever he drives I suppose should be british, so Jag’s an ok choice. But for all it matters to me, he could drive a Morris Minor… I don’t care.

Bond should stay in an Aston Martin, no Jags.

It’s sad that Ford would spend $100 million to put cars in three movies. Well, I guess it makes for more entertaining movies, but I’d like to see that money spent on their products and their employees (non union, of course), not their promotions. There’s only so much you can promote a mediocre car… not saying that the Jaguar XF will be mediocre, but pretty much anything out of Dearborn is below average.

In the Bond books of the eighties by John Gardner, Bond drove a black three door Saab 900. Horrifying.

The Jaguar deal isn’t so bad in comparison, but four doors seems too daddy-o.

Sedans worked in the Transporter movies. I never wanted a 7-Series BMW until that movie came out. Then it was Banglized…

haha… who’d of thought Bond would drive a 4 door?

Where’s the coupe version, this is nice, but I can’t help but imagine how much better it’d look with 2 less doors…

By: Andre Neves

Andre Neves — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 20:37:12 +0000

That would be awesome IMO. Could you imagine that think with rocket launchers attached to the hood or sticking out of the grill?
