The Z3 was in Goldeneye (although he also drove an Aston Martin DB5 in the opening sequence against the Ferrari), and he had a Z8 in The World is Not Enough...I forget what he drove in Tomorrow Never Dies, i think it was a BMW 750iL

Unfortunately, only the first movie is any good . . .

The Aston Martin DB5 in Goldfinger is still my favourite The Vanquish, though newer & nicer, somehow was not depicted & showcased as well as the original Bond Aston.

I think that vanquish got a little showcasing. Remember, it had an invisibility screen. Had guns and rockets. Bond used it to rescue Halle Berry from the ice hotel. There was the car chase with the other Aston. I'd say it had quite a bit of screen time.

I guess I have to agree though. The car Bond will be forever associated with is the original Aston. That's what comes to my mind when I picture James Bond 007.

Here's what I had a while back

There was also another thread that talked about the 80 cars too but can't find it.
