They’d have to do a remake of Octopussy.

Bond movies are nothing more than a cartoon of their previous self.A wide screen video game. Boom! Bang! Burn!

The first Smart car I saw was in Madrid in 2000.

It still looks like two buckets seats and a windshield to me.

Hollywood can’t make movies anymore. They’re all social justice drills in depravity and Marxism.

It would be entertaining to have a video of Q pop up on the video display, saying: "*sigh*... DO turn off the AirCon, 007..."

Good grief....what’s next for Bond?

I believe the next version will have extra melanin.

Foina Volpe’s attack bike would really light up that stupid electric car.

...and an extra "X" chromosome without the "Y".

Ejection seats have too much of a carbon footprint. There goes one option.

Major Boothroyd would have none of this.

One of my longtime friends bought a Tesla as a retirement present for his wife. She loves it. They decided to use it for a vacation road trip from Florida to Kentucky. They thought they had planned all of the recharge stops. But, Florida is flat, Kentucky and West Virginia aren’t. Gravitional position is evidently is an energy gradient based on change in elevation and friction
They ended up in an RV park for 18 hrs recharging. OOPS.
OOPS = Out of product specifications.

I have enjoyed Daniel Craig’s Bond role. Despite his personal lifestyle preferences, his portrayal of Bond has been closer to the Ian Fleming character than any other Bond actor, except possibly George Lazenby, who wasn’t even an actor really. Connery was always the original Bond for those who never read the books, but even his portrayal was not as dark as Ian Flemings intent. Connery was cool, but not so cold. Craig plays a cold character, matching Flemings 007 character.

I hope that while the new movie may feature a stunt involving an electric car, it does not detract from what the franchise has done to rebuild 007 since the campy days of Moore, Brosnan, etc.

Just in case you didn’t realize, those are two different cars.

I didn’t.

The first one kind of dominated the second.

“it replaces the engine and gas tank with its zero-emissions drivetrain components”

Ummmmm, electric cars are far from zero emissions. Unless they really did figure out how to harness those unicorn farts. And the batteries are ecological disasters. But as long as the snobs feel good, that's what matters.

What do you want to bet that Bond never charges it?
