Forget everything else gadgets, chases and stunts what is the best looking (Not nessaserly the most beautiful) car. For me Both the DBS in OHMSS it looks the most aggressive and in CR it looks so striking.

    Fair enough :)

    You've made my day though - I never thought I would be able to afford some's "best looking bond car"

    Of course, the horrible fannish pedant in me is compelled to point out that there was no V8 Aston in OHMSS; but I think we all know what you mean! :)

    Oh, and me? I'd have to go for the Living Daylights Aston (with roof on)- it's such a finely proportioned shape and looks as though it growls all of the time, and not just when the engine's turned on. I want to go with the DB5, but it is a little bit girly as Sean says, and it's got fins, which is a bit silly, and it's covered in clutter. :)
    I do love the original Lotus too- such a pure shape.

    I really cannot choose between the Aston Martin Volante, as em says, and the DB5. Both very sharp, distinctive cars---both very high in the ' B-) ' department...Perhaps the edge would go to the DB5 because of its pure classic status...

    Here comes horrible fannish pedant again.. :) If you are indeed talking about the car I mentioned; it's not the Volante- that's the one with the roof off! :)

    :) ...And, by a striking coincidence, that's the one I prefer! ;) Or, to be appropriately precise: The Living Daylights Aston (with roof off...) :)

    I'll take the DB 5

    Aston Martin DB5, followed closely by the Lotus (the original a la TSWLM, not the turbo of FYEO). Better start saving my money. ;)

    DB5, hands down

    I've always loved both of the Lotuses, Lotus Loti? What is the plural for Lotus?:)

    It's one of those sheep circumstances I think. For me it's definitely the DB5. If I could have any car it would be that.

    Definitely the best looking one was Moore's Lotus Espirit. Personally, I prefer the Turbo, but they're both great. Although I may be a bit biased, since Lotus is one of my favorite automakers. I have won many a race in Gran Turismo 4 with the Espirit! If the game does any justice to the actual car, I can say that it is truly a brilliant car. :D

    I also like Dalton's Aston Martin, which I do believe is the epitome of cool. B-)



    ...Then again, maybe the Minicar is the ultimate Bond car...

    I love the DB9. Still, I have a very soft spot for the DB5. I don't know if I could choose. Either way, I'll take an Aston over a Beemer any day of the weak.
  • James F EJames F E Posts: 140MI6 Agent
    My first pick would be the DBS from OHMSS...too bad it didn't have a bulletproof wind screen. Next I always liked the Sunbeam Alpine from DN -{
  • PendragonPendragon ColoradoPosts: 2,640MI6 Agent
    BMW Z-3 from GE...except in black and you have my dream car :D

    Aston Martin DBS from CR (I'd take one of those too...) the sound of that thing revving was one of the sexiest noises I've ever heard...:v

    Got to be the DBS from Casino Royale, followed by the Vanquish from Die Another Day.

    Aston Martin currently make the best looking cars ever, dispute this if you will, but you are WRONG. End of.

    A DB9 in a 007 movie?
    Where did I miss something?

    My vote goes to the copper Lotus Turbo Esprit with the skis look-wise.

    Sound-wise the DBS will be my favourite

  • LoeffelholzLoeffelholz The United States, With LovePosts: 8,998Quartermasters
    Anything Aston. The DB5 (natch), the Volante, the Vanquish, the DBS...

    But I loved the Lotus as well B-)

    I have to say, the DBS for me. It's sex on wheels.

    I followed one once on the M25...I couldn't keep my eyes from it, it was so beautiful. It's times like this, that you thank the M25 to be so congested!

    Its got to be the DB5.
  • KronsteenKronsteen Posts: 28MI6 Agent
    DB5, no question about it, the most emblematic Bond car.

    Lotus Esprit a distant second.
  • LynxLynx Posts: 11MI6 Agent
    DAD's Vanquish.

    Oww, and CR's Mondeo (but I'm really only saying that cos I might get to lease one in a few months)
