James Bond to Trade In His Aston Martin for a Fiat 500

A new James Bond film, again starring Daniel Craig, will feature the British secret agent driving a much smaller car than he’s used to. The familiar Aston Martin DB5, unceremoniously destroyed in the last film, won’t be back for this latest adventure. Instead, 007 will be driving a Fiat 500 through the Italian countryside.

If the publicity stills are any indication, it will be a blacked-out 500 Abarth. That might be acceptable. Or at least not as bad as the alternative.

Now the question is: how many gadgets can Q stuff into such a tiny car?

Update: Wait a minute! Not so fast! There WILL be an Aston Martin..
