This is Probably old news but I've just see some of the New Lotus Cars, they Look fantastic. The Elite and the New Four Door Eterne. -{
All the models are too similar. Plus they all look like wind tunnel designs. I would never get the new Ferrari FF and part of its purpose is to address the SUV and four door market. Yet, it's more creative than the stretch sportscar into four door car designs. Plus, it might be really good as an all weather, year around Ferrari going by the videos.
I think Ferrari is too playboy/flashy for Bond. Shooting brake designs like the FF tend to get bad reviews/image perception from most. I once saw a Jaguar XJS estate/shooting brake and really wished I hadn't... I think if Bond stole a Ferrari it would be a different matter though...

Any man in a flashy car - Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini - ughhhhh is a total turn off.
A car says a lot about a man..... and it has to be classy and NOT flashy.
Aston Martin is on the border…but it’s been such an iconic car for such a long time, you can’t really argue with it. (As is the Bentley – but I just think 'old man' when I see one now, no matter how sexy the Top Gear guys try to make it seem ) )
Audi, VW, hey even a Volvo shows that he doesn't rely on his car to make up for any *ahem* shortcomings.

Btw what colour is the Capri ghia TP?
Reminds me of the Lewis Collins thread a while back - and the car said it all.....
When you arrive in a Ghia you turn Heads "and a few stomachs too",( Blackadder 3 ). I know others have talked about the physcological aspect of such a car but I don't believe them. When I get behind the wheel looking at that long,long bonnet, the feeling of all that power throbbing away.I just drive it in and Out of a couple of tunnels, Afterwards stopping for a cigarette,Makes me feel very Manly. I don't get these sex refrences about cars at all. ) Sorry no Pics If I used a flash for the photo it would fade the paintwork and I only polished it last April. well I say polished,washing counts dosen't it
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
In mild defense of the Capri Ghia, I once took a friend's 3 litre for a thrash and although a little embarassing at traffic lights, on the open road it felt great. Nowhere near as quick as the 300zx 3 litre turbo (now embarassing I imagine) I had at the time, it felt really quick though and sounded great. I thought I was going over a hundred, when the speedo and other traffic clearly said I was not. I was frowning in the mirror like Lewis Collins and felt bloody great! )

Sadly what killed the capri IMHO was ford made too many modles in the range,after all you could get a 1300, which was far too underpowered. I had a mate who really did have one which he kept in showroom conditions.
When I did some boxing as a teen, I'd always tuck my towel around my neck under the tractsuit top,mainly to try and look like lewis collins in the credits of the professionals.
Sadly the Capri Ghia is no more crashed ,missed a tunnel entrence.the once long bonnet is now crushed up crumled looking very short, Somehow I'm not as impressed with it now, ah well.......... I'll have to keep an eye out for an E -type.

Ah explains the lack of pics..... Apologies...RIP
This might bring a smile.... A potpourri of the cars used on the series....
Yes, a Prius. Or better still, an electric car!
I can just see Bond getting out the extension lead and plugging in before a high-speed chase. Bad guys doing the same, sharing embarrassed glances at each other, waiting until they are fully charged before taking off through the streets at high (sorry, very low and eco-friendly) speed. )

I think stopping to charge their batteries would give Bond and the villains a chance to talk and mabey find some common ground and get away from all this rough violence. )

Eco friendly, stylish, debonaire, what more could a Bond want?!
That new Aston looks like a mix of TVR T350, Lotus Evora, Nissan GTR and Marcos TSO. I've missed it to date, and haven't seen anything about it in the car mags, but at least it's different. The DB9, DBS and new Virage look identical on the road - even the Vantage models are similar at a glance. In black the old Vanquish is very similar too. I love Astons, but they have to move on a bit before they become too familiar.

Now that is what I call a car...... :x (Although I think it would be much classier in a champaign colour.... or that lovely petrol green, that is blue/silver/green/red depending on how you're looking at it. )

A passing resemblance to the 1-77
Well not really, but the side vent is a new addition to the v8 vantage styling and is clearly 1-77 inspired.....
No, keep the DB9. This looks too much like ...
and
I would've been happier if they had simply kept the exact styling from the one-77 concept.

It looks like they've taken some design ques from the limited run DB7 Zagato also.
Good old Aston Martin - if the design wasn't popular ten years ago, just wait and try again...
