I hope not. Looks way too spacy and certainly not the wheels a SECRET AGENT would be driving.
I thought the DB10 was a tad too extravaganza, but still a nice looking Bond car, rhos however is OTT.
I think the most beautiful AM Bond ever drove was the V12 back in ‘02.
If the Valhalla is the next Bond car there has to be some good reason for driving around in a something like that, It's just so very unusual. I don't know how they can justify having 007 drive an AM Vahalla, but it makes the DB10 look dicreet. cool car, though.
The Aston's are always great....what really matters is what they do with them. The car chase in SPECTRE was pretty meh. If there is a car chase in Bond 25, whether Bond is driving the latest Aston Martin Supercar or a family sedan, it needs to be a great car chase that is worthy of the franchise.

Agree 100%. As long as it fits into the story, I have no problem with the Valhalla. Aptly named as well, I might add.

IMO, the car chase in QOS is underrated. The car chase is one of the sequences where the choppy editing and cinematography actually works. Also, unlike so many other movie action sequences where the local Police are strangely absent, the Police actually get involved.

It is the best car chase in the series and it’s not even close (Arnold’s excellent music has a lot to do with that). It was a fantastic segue from CR into QoS. I know it’s a minority view, but Craig was at his best in QoS.

Totally agree with the QOS comments above. Car chase I thought was strong, music sublime and overall as a film I don’t know why people see it as a weak film. I appreciate its all opinion but I often see comments that refers to QOS as a flop ?:) I personally don’t see a weak Craig film at all, Craig is one of the few actors in the series who doesn’t have a weak film in his reign. I enjoyed Spectre, only thing I thought was that it was too long.
Anyhow roll on B25 filming and hopefully we get the first official picture soon and some more set pics. The image of the film looks great so far, VERY much hoping David Arnold returns though. That would be excellent -{
I did love QoS, but I didn't care for the editing, which I thought took from the fights choreography, for instance, and though I think Mathieu Amalric is a great actor, his baddie was a bit meh, not to mention Elvis. Plus the plot could have used a revision.
I do think the car chase and the Siena rooftop pursuit were absolutely excellent, top notch, and are in my personal top ten of the franchise's action scenes.
As for DC's tenure, it's 50/50 for me: CR was excellent, QoS okish but had room for improvement, SF was great but I didn't care for some of the story elements, and Sp... well, let's just say that there was a good movie somewhere there but they didn't quite manage to find it. Pity as if could have been a great one.
Have a lot of faith in Fukunaga as a director, and I do hope he (and all the team) will nail this one and make DC's tenure a winner. Won't forgive them if they end up killing Bond, though (even with death of popular characters being only temporary, a tradition set up by a certain London detective).
Am I the only one finding the AM Valhalla plain ugly? Won't complain much as long as it's well used, though.

It didn’t really make sense that he couldn’t accelerate away from those Alfas as soon as he got that bit of open road though. And the end of the scene was a massive anti climax.
Re: the Valhalla- if it is his in the film (and it’s all new car so it makes more sense than any other Aston rumours we’ve had) I’d say it doesn’t really suit him, but I guess it’s fine.
Sorry, Sirs, if this is off-post, but as the quality of QoS’s storyline has been brought up and the QoS-
forum is archived, may I ask for your opinion on sth I never understood:
What kind of coupons/tokens is Greene stamping at the harbor in Port-au-Prince?
I apologize if this has been elaborated on long ago.
Thank you for your answers nevertheless.
"The first of the other two Aston Martins set to appear in the next film will be the the classic gadget, guns and and ejector seat-fitted DB5 from the early 1960s."
The article is about the Valhalla, so, while the third Aston is this Valhalla thing, the other two are the V8 Volante from The Living Daylights, and then that first of the 'other two' is the DB5.
It's nice to see the old style M's office :007)
Naomie Harries always seems friendly and enthusiastic about the Bond Movies, I hope she gets to stay on as Moneypenny for many years. Do we know when Craig got the bruises on his face?

Is it just me or does this look more like the Jaguar Mr Hinx drives In Spectre?
Note the cuban flag over the white car in the middle. So after all, Cuba is finally confirmed.

The Sun published that a few weeks ago...
That's odd as I can't find any story at all, got a link to this Sun article from a few weeks ago?
It was The Mail, not The Sun. It's a screen cap from the video here, posted June 4...
