Will Ford’s Ka Steal Scenes in New Bond Film?
Did you know one of Ford’s compact cars will be featured in the new James Bond film? You can’t ask for a better marketing strategy or more publicity than that!
The Ka, one of the most popular UK Ford cars, is making its big-screen debut this Halloween season in the highly-anticipated movie “The Quantum of Solace.” Although official announcements haven’t been made, many people “in the know” caught some glimpses of the small vehicle milling around the set.
The Ka is a good choice for 007, too. It looks like it drove right out of the older James Bond movies and directly into the new one. The body design is similar to other popular UK vehicles, like the Mini Cooper, but it also has its own distinct features that set it apart from other cars.

Remember when the minivan craze started in the early to mid-1980s? I remember it because my parents bought one of those in 1988 – just two years after it was brand new. And when I got my driver’s license, that wonderful vehicle became mine and stayed mine for several years.
Electric cars are not a new invention - they’ve been around almost as long as their traditional gasoline powered counterparts. However, electric vehicles have not hit mainstream popularity because of their relatively high costs and limited range of power. Well, one company is trying to change all that. This is not your grandfather’s
I grew up watching Michael Knight and KITT fight the bad guys. But it was a much simpler time in those days when the heroes and good guys were obvious and the bad guys were even more obvious. It seems like that’s changed over the years as the line between “good and evil” has blurred.
Pay now or pay later. That is the cry of the auto repair shop, trying to warn customers that ignoring vehicle maintenance now is only going to lead to larger and more costly repairs later. The only problem is no seems to be listening.
Much has been written about the phenomenon of hybrid cars these days, especially as the cost of gas continues to increase and people become more concerned about their environment. For a lot of customers in the market for a
