    If I ever felt the need for world domination and dispatching British agents in elaborate and easily escapable ways, I'd rock a Cadillac Series 75 Limousine as my mobile headquarters.



    And if it needed to run on alternative energy, I guess I'd imprison Darryl Hannah until she could convert it to run on vegetable oil.

    Hence why crossovers are pointless. No function over a car, but big and ungainly like an SUV.


    Get a car, or get a truck. A tall car on street tires isn't going to do much for you.

    I for one, think it is very shrewd of Ford to target the evil villain market.


    I mean, they don't seem to be effected by the economic downturn. They're always losing both henchmen and vehicles in ever more spectacular ways. And the hero never seems to be able to ultimately kill them, ensuring both the opportunity to return in a sequel, and a steady demand for Ford products.


    Way to go Ford!

    Not just any Edge..uhs, but ones with hydrogen badges! Maybe criminal organizations are running black market carbon offset credits these days?

    @sandwich_pants: Was it "Hydrogen"?


    I was going to say/post that it was "Hybrid".


    "Hysomething" for sure...


    "Hyonsequels"?

    They need something more roadworthy, like a 300 with blacked-out windows. Why do they need an SUV, unless they take it off road?

    Because their lair/secret conspiratorial meeting place is in the middle of the fucking Atacama Desert.


    You anti-SUV goons will crap on any thread you can, won't you?

    There actually was one Expedition that popped up, for a second (it was driven by the CIA team that was trying to pick up Bond in that Bolivian bar).


    Also, Bond's DBS (post-chase) - PCH? The lack of door wouldn't stop me from driving it.

    I totally voted Ford Bond for American Ford Idol, but Ford Bauer makes a pretty strong case. Ford.

    All the vehicles in Bond flicks are Ford and have been for just about the entire series ... notably Live and Let Die was a GM movie ... however, JB has been with Ford since at least Goldfinger as I recall
