Would you rather own the Lotus Esprit OR the Aston Martin Vantage?

    Uhm... there was no "DB7 Vantage" in 1987. A DB7 first came out in the 1990s. The car in TLD was a V8 Vantage. Anyhow, give me that one over the Lotus anytime. And keep the "usual refinements".

    I thank you for pointing out my error. I shall correct the post lest others wonder why I chose a car that doesn't exist. Must talk to my crack research team.

    I don't think anyone said DB7. And the car in TLD wasn't a Vantage, it was a standard AMV8, or at least badged as one (well, it was a Volante until it wasn't of course ;) )

    Ah okay, didn't catch that.

    The Lotus, no question. My all-time favourite Bond car. Such a beautiful aesthetic to it, like a glimpse of a future that never quite came. Just one snag: I seem to recall Roger Moore saying it was so low-slung it was impossible to get in and out of it with any dignity!

    It does feel a bit cruel when they make him crawl out of it on camera in FYEO!

    Vantage, no question.
    There are no bad angles of that car and it sounds amazing
