The Car
Since it's escaped elsewhere let me just confirm that it looks like Saint James will be tootling around in a Maserati.
Lucky so-and-so.

Re: The Car
They look similar to the 007 Aston Martin, but at least a mile better than the last car driven by that moustache carrying version of the Saint.

Re: The Car
It looks like Maserati has been dropped in favour of American sports car maker Fisker.
About the company:
Fisker Automotive is a green American premium sports car company with a mission to create a range of beautiful environmentally friendly cars that make environmental sense without compromise.
The concept was created between two independent companies who clearly wanted to make a difference in not only the automotive industry, but to the environment as well.
Fisker Coachbuild, LLC and Quantum Technologies announced this joint venture partnership in September 2007. Fisker Coachbuild will provide exclusive design services for Fisker Automotive while Quantum Technologies (QTWW - a publicly traded company) will provide the latest technological advancements. Each car will feature cutting-edge plug-in hybrid penned as Q DRIVE exclusively for all Fisker Automotive vehicles.
A new segment is being created within the auto industry where people can really use their power of choice. They can choose to be environmentally friendly with their car purchase without compromising on the style and luxury that they are used to. We believe in less compromise and more efficiency.
Fisker Automotive strives to be a serious environmental alternative to other premium performance luxury cars on the road today. Fisker Automotive will be the first company in the world to have this type of a car on the road - a beautiful fast car that makes environmental sense.
Initial production is anticipated to be 15,000 vehicles annually with pricing to start at $87,900.

Re: The Car
It would have been nice for this series to give Jaguar another turn with it's new XJ model launched this month. Although now owned by Indian Tata, these cars are still very English, being designed and built within the West Midlands. Unlike in 1962, I think the company could do with the pubilicity.
