What's your favorite and why?

I'm torn between my top three.
1. The Aston Marin DB5 - the classic with great and alarmingly practical 'gadgets.'
2. The Lotus Esprit - for it's over-the-topness and 80s glam factor
3. The Aston Martin DB5 - for the balance of power and elegance and the 'If I won the lotto tomorrow, what would I buy?' factor. What do you think?

I would have to go with the original Lotus Esprit since it would allow me to drive underwater; that's rare in an automobile.

Aston Martin DB5- The orginal classic, never be topped.
Aston Martin DBS- The new "need for speed", for Bond's sake
Aston Martin V- Dalton's AMV was awsome, great gadgets. Brosnan's was outlangished. Invisible come on?!

The dumbest toy to be found in any Bond film. :(

Dumber than the crocodile submarine? The inflatable jacket? The surveillance robot? The moon buggy?

Funny how we buy a car that turns into a submarine but not a car that turns invisible. I wonder where the line in the sand is?

Oh yeah, my answer to the original question: THE LOTUS. And then the Citroen.

Ah, I meant the DBS and not 5 for my third answer. the more modern option. What's not to love? I'd even pass on the defibrillator in the glove box for those nice stitched seats. Do you find this valuable?

Just look for the tire tracks -- Q branch didn't come up with a way to make THOSE invisible.
