I would love to see the a melting pot of cars in CR. There should be a balance of down to earth and cool gadgets in the film (like in FYEO, or even better, LTK, which had some great gadgets that weren't too outlandish.) The Panda could be used for comic relief, which is essential an even the most serious Bond film (people forget that LTK had a lot of funny and comic moments.)

Correctly done, there's nothing wrong with Bond driving a dorkmobile at some point in the movie. The irony of him doing so when he's known for driving the Aston Martin and wearing the nice suits makes for some great humor. Think "glad I insisted you brought that cello!"

AHAHAHHAH :) Well.. I mean I would NOT ONLY forget about even THINKING to qualify as Bond girl if I didn't catch you at doing such a thing, but also couldn't even think to be the assistant eternally in love with James!! lol
am good huh??
if that report about hugh (jackman) refusing is wrong (and I have reason to believe it is) I PROMISE I will make producers audition me as bond girl!! ahahhahaahahhaha :) (could NEVER do it.. a role in "friends" I'd probably manage.. but not the bond girl.. gotta be TOO HOT to do that!!)

Yes Alessandra, I've been trying to work out if you are more a Miss Moneypenny or a Bond girl. I imagine you as a stunning Bond girl, but one who is very smart and more than a match for Bond.

I see you've already become a CBN regular poster already! Welcome aboard.

Ha!! :) Well well dear Bond Bug.. let's say I am now in better form after 8 days at the seaside...... and I am honored and flattered by your compliments.. but I would NEVER want you to be disillusioned when you see me so just don't picture me as being too hot ok?!?! I'm a normal girl like many others.. ahah :)
I could actually post a picture, right?... I'll see if I can find a decent one.. and then you'll judge for yourself if I am a Moneypenny or a Bond girl. For sure, I am NO Maria Grazia Cucinotta...
As for being more than a match for Bond.. well let's say that one very popular guy over here once tried to mess with me for a parking lot... (believe it..) and afterwards (when I OF COURSE "won") he said "jesus, you're a tough cookie!!" :) :) :)

Could it be a Fiat Panda in the beginning of the teaser trailer? I am not an expert but it is a small car in there isn

It's more likely the Mondeo. But let's not forget that Alessandra wasn't entirely off the mark (but mostly!) as Bond drives a Fiat..... bulldozer!

Well look at the picture at the Cbn page of the Panda and compare its lines with that in the trailer. They do look similar. So my guess is that it just might be!

The car at the beginning of the trailer is definately not a Fiat of any kind, certainly not a Panda.

The character Dryden who is driving that car is a rich businessman/secret service agent. He wouldn't be driving one anyway. Or is there another clip I missed with a Fiat in?

Perhaps the Panda deal DID exist, but fell through for some reason, and the New Holland (Fiat) dozer deal is to satisfy the original Fiat-Eon arrangement.
