I nominate the Bugatti 16C Galibier:
It would have to be for Bond undercover, possibly as a wealthy art collector, philanthropist or an owner of a chain or casinos.

I think that would be better suited as a villain's car. It's definately the sort of car someone like Auric Goldfinger would drive.
After Jaguar appeared in SKYFALL, and with the Aston Martin DB5 destroyed, perhaps Bond could switch to Jaguars full-time for BOND 24. In which case, I would suggest the F-Type Coupe. Or possibly a Maserati Gran Turismo.
And two cars that I would like to see in some capacity - although almost certainly not as the car Bond drivers - are the Mclaren P1 and the Marussia B2.

If Bond goes to exotic places, he might try some cars unique to the country of origin...like the DC Avanti which is India's addition to the sports car market. We all know Bond wants some tandoori booty...he's never had any....

Yeah, but he'd be required to drive one with INDIA RAILWAYS plastered all over the side of it.

Aston Martin DB9 which promptly destroys the Aston Martin Cygnet.
Failing this...

Bond's been on dirt bikes twice in the past two films, so I think motorcycles should be given a rest for the time being. But if and when they do come back, I think I'd like to see Bond on a road-going bike. Maybe something like the Ducati 1198. I've heard that the OCTOPUSSY pre-titles were originally going to take place on the Snaefell Mountain Course with Bond taking part in the Isle of Man TT in some way before the writers came up with the mini-jet sequence.
But I think it would be worth re-visiting, considering that the bikes in the TT regularly top 200mp/h on a narrow circuit with virtually no protection between them and stone walls:

I'd like to see Bond driving a black Q branch-customised sport bike through a city. Bond should wear a helmet, like in NSNA.

Pretty much any car chase through a city would work. When we saw B-roll footage of SKYFAL filming at Whitehall, I was hoping Bond would be tearing through London in a Jaguar. In the end, it was just him escaping from the inquiry with M.

Jaguar makes sense as a company car. I'd like to see Bond drive something of his own choice as well.
I wonder if the DB5 will ever make an appearance in a Bond film again. Certainly not in Craig era.

I wouldn't want this to be a personal or company car for Bond, but the radical new Volkswagen XL1 would make one hellofa sight.

Well it should British Iconic Brand Beside Aston Martin. I don't mind him in Lotus again. Maybe a Jaguar F-type. Jensen has revived. Bentley would good for the first time. Rolls Royce as well. No more Amercian or Japanese Crap including European. These cars can Villain or when he rent a car or steal it like did before.

I think he means that Bond should not drive anything other than a British car as his company car. If he has to drive something else, then he should either steal it or hire it. Otherwise, it should be a villain's car.

Something classy, British, sporty and expensive. And a return to it making it to the end of the film relatively unscathed might be nice.

Sorry about that meaning the Villains should drive the Japanese,American & European cars. Like in the last 3 Bond movies including Skyfall he drove the Ford Mondeo in Casino RoyaleVolvo S40 in Quantum of Solace & Mercedes Benz S-Class in Skyfall before he reunited with his loved & most Favourite Classic Aston Martin DB5. By the way I would love to see that Classic Aston Martin DB5 to be rebuild come back in Bond 24, Longer it doesn't get destroyed again.

Or Jay Seven not on anything.
Remember when CR thought his female cousin had had her wicked way with him when they were both like 10 or something and asked MI6 had it been rape? Ahhh, good times.

I wouldn´t mind Bond driving the DB5, but if it would be presented a little more subtle than in SF or even CR I would appreciate it.
Not British, but there is a BMW prototype from sometime ago that has seperated roofs for the driver and the seat next to him. Looks not really like a batmobile, but a little bizzarre. I´d like that for Bond, or perhaps a villain.

I don't think they could bring the DB5 back after what happened in SKYFALL. And honestly, I would not mind it if it was scrapped. It's been an icon of the series, but the recent past has proven that it is all to easy to simply fall back on those elements and make the mistake of thinking that the film is in the vein of the early films. Where CASINO ROYALE established a new timeline, SKYFALL really established a new mythology, one that builds on what has come before rather than simply repeating it. I think it would be a real mistake to double back on that.

Nissan Bladeglider Might not be a DB5 but this might work, ( reminds me of the Pink Panther car )
