Yes, to be frank about things.
Id be happy to have a wager with you on that
Lol 
I only say it because of how things have changed.
Earlier in the year it was all talk that bond was going to be replaced with a female lead which is black, (I now think this is his sidekick in the new film).
Bond isnāt the normal stereotypical bond he was ā¦ and same for the cast.
In this politically correct BS world we are in, I donāt honestly know how well it will hold up as a brand.
Some things are best left alone and in regard to the Bond franchise, I feel itās showing itās age a little.
Now what happens if they drop Aston in favour of Jaguar ? Would it help to kill AM or Bond.
I dunno, there is only so much a franchise can carry on for.
They wonāt drop Aston for Jaguar 
where would that leave the 60ās films.
If they plan to have a spin off surely thatās more films and more profits not the end of the ābrandā.
So they want to use a black lead so? Black panther didnāt seem to do so bad 
I agree James Bond should stay as is but the spin off is a real opening imo, not all secret British agents are white
They said the same before skyfall apparently that didnāt stand a chance at the box officeā¦
As long as James Bond stays as James Bond, not Jamiqua Bond LBTQXYZ ā¦ then iām happy
Spins offs would be cool though, especially from the villains side.

Donāt blame you at all but times are changing it doesnāt make the film any different. I bet youād be OK if James Bond shacks up with a black lead female and the mini Bond was black though? Future Bond and all that
Star wars was dead a while back a bit like Aston but its surprising how much power a brand has
Swings and roundabouts really.
As long as the Bond remains white as per the book series laid out, then itās still Bond.
As for going to Jaguar, I bet if hard times hit AM, they would drop AM for Jag in a heart beat.
Wasnāt it the last film that they used an old AM instead of a new one? Canāt rememberā¦
Theyād just use the old Aston Martin cars for nostalgiaā¦ Johnny English style
Jaguar is too main stream for the character hence why they are used for the chauffeur scenes only
Time will tell. I bet you a hypothetical beer that in 10 years itās gone. 
Catch you later - 
That would mean a flop at the next movie as they usually take 7-10 years for a new movie with a new lead Bond to release.
Better be a nice hypothetical beer
I would think that these cars will be in a museum in 10 years. Donāt plan on investing in these companies long term.
For those who didnāt watch the below video in the short 30min format:
They have access to mercedes ev and hybrid drive trains or am I missing something?
And hybrid drive trains are already being phased out
Iāve actually never even seen an Aston Martin in real life. Thank you for listening to my DD, goodbye.

Wow! Really? I find that very hard to believe
Never. Not that I recall anyway.
Well thereās loads down this way even my neighbour has a vantage
Iām old enough to remember that Pierce Brosnan was very comfortable driving BMWās.
So in theory Aston Martin is replaceble in a franchise, but AM has an added sentimental value.
