Here is the review off their website - before the show airs:
------------------------------------
Aston Martin's recovery from the lows of the early 1990s recession has been consistent, but has relied almost totally on the DB7 coupe and cabriolet. Unlike the DB7, which was partly based on the Jaguar XJ-S, the Vanquish is an all-new car, packed with new materials and new technology. It replaces the old Virage/V8 series - Aston's last remaining connection with its cash-strapped history. Under Ford's guidance, the Vanquish is intended to re-cast Aston as a forward-looking, ultra-modern car maker - a laboratory for new ideas within Ford, according to one senior source. With a build rate of just 300 cars per year, the Vanquish already has a two-year waiting list, although a premium price is likely to secure an example if you're very keen.

It'll be great if they mention somewhere about it featuring in Bond 20!

It would be even better if they told us a few of the "optional extras" that Q-Branch are installing.

Does anyone have the capabilities of capturing the segment to a computer? It would be great to get it online.
