Posted: Thu Jan 06, 2005 3:32 pm
According to a new survey, consumers are ready to embrace James Bond's car of the future today - and the majority of them trust a software company such as Microsoft to be their co-pilot.
Results of the survey, conducted by StrategyOne on behalf of Microsoft
Corp.'s Automotive Business Unit and announced today at 2005 International CES, revealed that consumers ranked James Bond's gadget-filled Aston Martin DB5 as their favorite famous high-tech car, followed by KITT from the 1980s TV series "Knight Rider" and the Batmobile. In addition, if consumers could give their high-tech car a voice, their top choice would be former 007 Sean Connery's famous Scottish brogue. Their second choice would be that of actor James Earl Jones' Darth Vader.
