I liked it a lot, a little slow in some places, but definitely closer to the Sean Connery films than the Roger Moore ones, which were getting to slap stick. I can't tell if it was a Series 5 DB4 or a DB5. For those of you who don't know, in Goldfinger, it was advertised as a DB5, but in reality, it was the last Series 5, DB4's made, Aston took it as a placement to advertise the DB5, in fact, they were indistinguishable, except for a badge on the boot (trunk). You'l also notice it was left hand drive, and obviously not the Goldfinger car since he won it in poker one of the bad guys. I read on the net that they put an automatic trannie in since the actor didn't, or couldn't drive a stick. Personally, I don't believe it. If they could get him to bulk up 20 pounds of muscle for the movie, they could have gotten him to learn to drive a stick. Also, the movie doesn't really show him actually driving the older Aston. My friends at Sony (MGM) confirmed that they wrecked the crap out of that new DBS (only one).
