The upcoming No Time to Die is historic in that it marks the 25th James Bond film in the franchise. To mark the special occasion, no fewer than four Aston Martin vehicles will be used in the movie, the automaker announced on James Bond Day, October 5.Aston Martin has been synonymous with the film series ever since a DB5 was used as Bonds primary mode of transportation in Goldfinger, and, following a short stint or two where the spy piloted Lotus and BMW vehicles, has cemented itself as the brand of choice for the worlds suavest secret agent.The lineup breaks down like this: First, we have the one and only DB5. A staple of James Bond history, it needs no introduction, and neither does 007.As another nod to the past, No Time will feature a V8 Vantage like the one Timothy Dalton used in the 80s-era films.Past, present and future.To mark the 25th Bond film, #NoTimeToDie, four of our cars will be featured in the film.From the classic DB5 and V8 Vantage, to the new DBS Superleggera and Aston Martin Valhalla, there is something for every Bond fan.#JamesBondDay@007 pic.twitter.com/cmKvswriHo Aston Martin (@astonmartin) October 5, 2019A surprise addition to the film is the DBS Superleggera its role on-screen was announced October 5. (Wed already known about the other star cars.) Totally befitting of Bond, the gorgeous GT car is powered by a twin-turbo V-12, and has all the amenities of a comfy grand tourer.Finally there’s the Valhalla. Were not sure how Bond is going to get himself into a situation that requires a low-slung supercar, but as per our interview with CEO Andy Palmer, we understand the vehicle will also have a few tricks up its sleeve, as per 007 traditions.

The 2008 Dodge Dakota TRX4 Crew CabHandout / FCA Ram trucks has made it its mission to build a new mid-sized pickup to fill a gap in its lineup. According to Automotive News, Ram CEO Mike Manley says the lack of a mid-sized truck in its range is an issue that needs fixing fast. I want that problem solved, frankly, because it’s a clear hole in our portfolio, Manley said. It will not be filled by Gladiator because Gladiator is a very, very different mission. Trust me, they’re focused on it. We need to get it fixed soon. Despite previous reports, Manley says the Ram truck will not be built on the Gladiator platform; building it around a different architecture, though, will add extra cost to the development. Being able to find a cost-effective platform in a region where we can build it with low cost and it still being applicable in the market is what they’re struggling with at the moment, the exec admitted. Despite this, Manley says Ram is focused on solving a metric ton midsize truck solution for us because it’s a big part of the portfolio and growth we want to achieve. We previously wrote about Ram’s mission to build a mid-sized truck, but at that time it seemed it was only a consideration—it’s move to a full-on mission makes its debut near-certain. Ram would do well to introduce a mid-sized truck as that market is red-hot right now with offerings like the Ford Ranger, Chevrolet Colorado and even the soon-to-be-redesigned Nissan Frontier. Whether or not the truck will wear the classic Dakota badge remains to be seen, as does the specific availability date, forecast now for 2022. Finally, Manley noted Ram plans to keep on selling its last-generation Ram Classic alongside its new Ram 1500, calling the former the real traditional workman’s truck, one that fleet and commercial customers seem to keep on snapping up, in part for its lower price versus the 2020 Ram. Automotive News hears from dealers the Ram Classic could remain on sale through to the end of
