The best Bond cars are in Man with the Golden Gun; the ugly ass AMX does that spin/flip as it jumped across the river and the other ugly ass American car that turned into an airplane are both the best ( but ugliest next to living daylights' vantage) Bond cars. That vantage looks like a copy of a '68 mustang. No wonder both companies couldn't sell any cars.

The best bond car got to be the aston V8 in the Living Daylight. If he drives the new aston DB9 for the next film, I may have to change my mind

Vanquish or the Z8... depending on whether you want an interior out of Ford's (Jaguar's) parts bin.

The best James Bond car? Well, i have to say, that it was the Aston Martin Vanquish! But the 2nd is the BMW Z8!

The best Bond car is the classic Aston Martin DB5 that appears in many films, last seen on "Goldeneye" where it races a Ferrari 355 Berlinetta in the hills near Monaco. Of course the new Aston Martin Vanquish is awesome, but if I had to choose, I'd have the DB5. The BMW Z8 is a very nice car, both somehow I don't think it quite matches James Bond personality.

The DB5 is still the best Bond car...either that or the old Bentley 3L he had in "From Russia With Love" at the very beginning.

Funny you said that. In Ian Fleming's books James Bond always drives a Bentley.

Of course a Bond car has to be British, so the Astons (DB5 and Vanquish) along with the Lotus Esprit will do. I wouldnt mind seeing Bond in TVR though.

The old DB5 =) or the Vanquish.

Tvr compared with Aston Martin or Bentley, his too extravagant. But for me is a very very nice car. One of my favourites.
