  What kind of name is that for a car? At least it's not Bond driving it!

  The MkI Ka has been about in Europe since 1998. Though that piece of news reads more like an ad for the Ka itself rather than it's appearance in the film There's going to be a special Minichamps QoS Ford Ka model, as well.

  Never been a fan of Ford Ka's but the new shape as shown in QOS is rather nice.
  
  It looks very similar to the new Fiesta too.

  Doesn't he drive one in CR?
  
  But isn't this just product placement anyway. Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't Ford currently own Aston Martin as well?

  bond drove the 2008 ford mondeo in CR, not the KA.
  
  the ka, IMO, is a bit ugly really, prefer the fiesta.
  
  and ford don't own Aston Martin;
  
  quote from www.astonmartin.com;
  
  "Gaydon March 12, 2007: Aston Martin is pleased to announce the start of a new chapter in its illustrious history following the announcement today that the prestigious sports car manufacturer has been sold to a consortium led by David Richards, John Sinders, Investment Dar and Adeem Investment, ending almost twenty years as part of Ford Motor Company."
  
  bye bye ford

  I'm pretty sure Ford still owns some of Aston Martin, just not a controlling amount.

  i think they own 17% or something, but thats due to expire at some point.

  Let's hope Richards is a modern day Victor Gauntlett....
  
  oh and Ford retained a 8.3% stake ($77m out of $925 mil)
