There will be a feature also on the DBS in the next Top Gear mag:

I totally agree with those who think the DB5 is still THE James Bond car. I mean, what they did back on those days with the changing plates, the weapons and especially the ejectable seat was just awesome. I just wished they took the same essence and did that again but with truly modern stuff. For example, I did enjoy the BMW that drove from the cellphone (can't bother to remember which James Bond movie was it), because for me, 90% of James Bond are the cars... the other 10% are bond girls!

As for the body kit of the new Bond car, I like it a lot, just hope they add many gadgets too. Besides, I had heard (i'm not kidding) that he was going to drive a Fiat Panda, though I must say I wouldn't enjoy James Bond driving a Ford Mondeo, that would be like James May driving the batmobile! images/smilies/vampire.gif

I don't know if I like it as an Aston. Its too muscle car to be an Aston. I dunno which Aston I'd pick if I were Bond. I've totally fallen for the AMV8 but the DB9 has that interior

The DBS looks like the DB9 LM race car. And that is a very, very good thing.

But not the Vanquish... And imagine that 6.0L V12 S engine with a proper gerabox... It's out of this world

Don't like that body kit. That intake in the middle looks out of place.
