The replacement for the DBS, the Vanquish has been shown off.
Yup, looks not dissimilar to all other Astons (they really need to shake their designs up), but if Bond will drive a new Aston in Bond 24, I would expect it to be this one.

Well I will always love the DBS, but this Vanquish looks very fine indeed.

Here's a silver version of the car, and what Bond would be driving in '#24' should he acquire one...

They don't need to shake things up. It's perfect as it is. Great cars like Porche only change ever so slightly.

Well I don't actually want Craig having an Aston in 'Bond 24' - the way he treats them leaves a lot to be desired! Each Aston Martin get's less than 5 minutes screen time in total and either gets destroyed or banged to bits!

For shaaaame!!

This is interesting. I was playing around with the "Configure your Vanquish" section on the AM website, and one of the color choices was "Skyfall silver." It's a little lighter than the Quantum silver used in the last film.

Oh that is a good spot. Could it actually have a brief appearance in Skyfall?
