Pravus would enjoy seeing this movie.
http://www.spencerthelion.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_007.gif was driving the latest Ford Mondeo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Mondeo#Mk_IV_.282007.29). Also had Jaguars in plain view of course.
The Mondeo would be a good choice to offer a hybrid sedan (picture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:2007_Ford_Mondeo_Pre_Launch.jpg))
Since they did not want gadgets to distract from the great plot and fine acting, they decided not to have any hybrids in the movie. :D
Hi Chuck:
___I came across an advancing the Mondeo for the new Bond film article a few months ago but it wasn’t worth posting way back when. I just searched 3 months of Ford archives but could not find it :(
___And of course the latest …
FORD CO-STARS IN NEW BOND FILM. (http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=24821&make_id=trust)
___Good Luck

I just thought of something cool for you Bond fans:
Goldfinger: 007 keeps Ft Knox from blowing up
Thunderball: 007 keeps Miami from blowing up
You Only Live Twice: 007 blows up SPECTRE's spacecraft to prevent World War IIII just thought of a cool counter point for the 22nd Bond movie when it come out in Nov 2008. Casino Royale has an "OnStar moment" with a defilbrillator. I'd like to see in the next Bond movie, 007 uses a remote to discharge the battery pack against a SPECTRE agent hijacking his hybrid. :D
I agree -- when I saw that, I was like, "That's a Ford??? It looks like a sexy Mondeo". Turns out as such.
Now for those who saw the movie -- you'd think that for £1Billion, the Aston Martin DB-S would come with stability control -- sheesh.

Yeh, they should have put a little oil slick to make the crash seem realistic.
Hi Rick:
___I did not see any airbags deployed either ;)
___Chuck, on another note, I saw an Insight in the movie ”The One” with Jet Li on a local station yesterday. There was also a Corbin Sparrow in the same scene about a minute before it ended.
___Good Luck
