The man with the golden gun

Ok, so I can't drive a stick-shift car. At least, I couldn't until last Christmas, when Annie forced me to learn. See, we were going to drive from Nashville up to Wisconsin, and she, quite understandably, didn't want to do all of the driving (again). I was scared of ruining the car, causing an accident, or just generally effing things up. But she stuck to ger guns, and eventually plied me by saying that "James Bond drives a stick shift." Since every man, deep down, wants to be James Bond, I had no choice but to learn.

Imagine my surprise, then, reading this:

[New Bond actor Daniel Craig] revealed he can only drive an automatic - so Bond's traditional Aston Martin DB5 reportedly had to be converted.

There seems to also be a large negative reaction to the casting of Craig as Bond. Myself, I loved Daniel Craig in the only other movie I've seen him in, the wholly awesome, Duran Duran-featuring "Layer Cake." In fact, and not to spoil the ending for anyone who hasn't seen it, his turn at the end of that movie makes me think he'd be a fantastic Bond. Anyway, a lot of the negativity seems to stem from the fact that he's not as handsome as past Bonds. Granted, he's no Pierce Brosnan. Beyond that, though, I find myself unqualified to make a judgement as to his good look-itude. So, ladies? What do we think? Hot or not?
