Aston Martin and the James Bond film series have always been strongly affiliated, starting in 1964 when a beautiful DB5 featured in ‘Goldfinger’.  Any enthusiast of the films will know that there have been times when other manufacturers were used, including Lotus, BMW and even AMC.  Since 2002 however, when an Aston Martin Vanquish was used in ‘Die Another Day’, Aston’s have been a regular part The Toyota Corolla has always been a popular small car and around 44 million have been sold since the model’s introduction in 1966.  The Corolla is currently in its 12th generation and utilises the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) modular chas*is family, resulting in lower noise, improved rigidity and a lower centre of gravity.  The BMW M3 E36 and Nissan 300ZX Z32 were two of the best performance cars to come out of the 1990’s.  In 1990, the 300ZX cost $69,720 while in 1994 the M3 cost a hefty $124,650.
