As we head into a new decade, Vantage Magazine thinks back on how difficult it can be to bridge the gap between generations. Technology continues to advance in a rapid pace, causing older generations to find it more difficult to sit down and have a conversation with younger generations. Whether it's with your child or grandchild the hip trends of today are a far departure from what you enjoyed in your younger years. Even when it comes to cars, only the most hardcore of young automotive enthusiasts can relate to the beauty and detail put in vintage luxury cars. But there is one icon that almost everyone born in the last five decades can relate to: James Bond, 007. Bond is the star in the world's longest running and most financially successful English language film franchise to date; generations young and old have witnessed their version of James Bond on the big screen. Now one of the most appealing attributes to the Bond films is high-tech gadgetry, beautiful women, witting charm and exotic automobiles. At the end of the day, the world's most famous spy needs a fitting car for his Bond Girl and himself. In the recent years, James Bond movies have become synonymous with Aston Martin's vehicle releases. Arguably the film industry's most enduring partnership, Aston Martin returned to the Bond movie franchise in 2002 with Die Another Day. Don't be fooled though, younger readers of Vantage Magazine, Aston Martin garnered plenty of enthusiasm and interest back in 1964 when Goldfinger was first released.
