Enough is Enough: Bond crashes Aston DBS into wall
Despite a couple of disastrous and debilitating setbacks, filming of the next Bond flick, the Quantum of Solace, is back, with production continuing in the mountains of Carrara, Italy. Unfortunately, these newest shots from the set are further proof that the writers and producers have absolutely no regard for the hotness that is the Aston Martin DBS. To their credit, the death of the DBS was deliberate, as 007 is chased through a rock quarry by a handful of villains piloting Alfa Romeos. The 15-minute scene will make up the pre-credit sequence that is the staple of any good Bond film (they're always our favorite), right before they cue the cheesy retro-pop and cut to blacked-out babes wielding heavy artillery.
Thanks for the tip, Miguel!

Maybe we should learn to drive the car before we get in.

I'm going to kill whoever keeps coming up with the idea to crash Aston Martins because they think it will make the car scenes cooler. If you're just going to crash a car into a wall, I'll gladly take it off your hands :-)

As a huge fan of Aston and current/future owner, this movie better blow my mind, Toooo many DBS's getting destroyed and there is a 5 year waiting list for these damn things.

Sometimes in a movie you'll see a stunt double and be like "Man, that totally looked different, ruined this movie for me".
I wouldn't care if they crashed a red Kia into a wall right at the dramatic moment. I'd be like "Oh, awesome. A great scene, and it didn't end in the destruction of such an awesome car."
I hope they at least just crashed a mule or something.

Or a scene of thousands of Kias crashing, then exploding. That'd be pretty sweet.

So are we to understand that the Alfas can out-run the Aston? As both an AM and an AR fan, but more in the AR budget class (unless we're talking 8C Competizione), I take heart that I don't have to spend house money for the better performing car!

Actually Alfa is bringing back the Q4, this time in a 159, with the V8 from the 8C... It wont be a real 8C, but if they include that in the movie, it will be awesome.

I know it was deliberate, but still...
That made the baby Jesus cry.

From the angle of that picture, it appears it might just be an empty bodyshell.

Is the director a member of Greenpeace or something? We should get Jeremy Clarkson to be the director (hehe, crashed Prius!)

If it's not a muscle car, it's not a great loss.

V12 isn't big enough to be considered adequate muscle for you?
Sorry - the rest of us can't afford veyrons...

Maybe you should stick to Vin Diesel movies.
