This is as outrageous as if they decided that Batman should support increased immigration policies to the USA or Superman should oppose nuclear power.
Its neither here nor there (not necessarily contradicted by lore) but its an entirely apropos of nothing insertion.

It's as outrageous as if Bond. James Bond renounced his UK citizenship. But Superman beat him to it.

In real life, Mossad is more known for actual assassinations and cloak and dagger operations. MI6 perhaps hasn't pulled off any notable operations in quite a long while. Not since the World War 2 days, being that this was around the time the British empire collapsed.

Eh?
Someone actually watches Bond for the car?
I've heard of people who only watch Bond for the women (sounds like a bad reason) but only for the cars is a first.
Interesting.

Responding in a thread where the choice of Bond cars has made the news, somehow shocked that someone likes the cars...

OK a quarter-million plus electric Aston Martin. And the car chase in the Citroen from For Your Eyes Only is still a classic. But electric? Really? Really? Bond needs to be driving something with a rich, gutteral, throaty, gas-engine growl, particularly when evading henchmen or passing Bond women on twisty mountain roads.

That's like... his whole character.
Electric cars is too hip, progressive, and friendly. It doesn't suit him.
No he needs to be The Gentleman (in that he's an arrogant personification of a bygone era of British imperialism and class superiority, and of course he went to Oxford). That's always been the character. And such a character would stick to wealthy status symbols in his cars.

You forgot Alan Cumming, Famke Janssen, Izabella Scorupco, Samantha Bond, Judi Dench, Gottfried John, Joe Don Baker, Robbie Coltrane, Hell pretty much the entire cast is sheer perfect. The only complaint about the movie I have is we never get to see the Z3 in action, but the tank chase was pretty damn epic.
