Ford is doing all it can to generate buzz around its new compact Ford Ka and it is once again releasing images and a press release with the new Quantum of Solace Bond girl Olga Kurylenko and the Ka.

Olga Kurylenko will be promoting the Ford Ka along with her new character Camille on a series of TV programs, articles and online content that have been created with support from Ford.

Honestly we think a better way to advertise the Ford Ka for the Bond movie is to hype up the face that Ka driven by Camille in Quantum of Solace runs on hydrogen and when the movie premieres in the U.S. on Nov. 14th, have the Ford Ka on hand and announce it for the North American market. But who’s going to listen to us?

Follow the jump for more pictures and the press release.

Directed by Marc Forster, the film stars Daniel Craig as the legendary secret agent, James Bond and opens in the UK and France on October 31st, then across the rest of Europe during November 2008.

The all-new Ford Ka will be available to drivers other than Olga Kurylenko in late 2008/early 2009.

Daniel Craig recently learned that playing 007 has some serious perks. The new James Bond has just landed himself a lifetime driving deal with Aston Martin. When he’s not driving the Aston Martin DBS in the movie or crashing it into quarries, Craig has a free pass from Aston Martin to take any of their cars for a spin.

Craig can borrow the cars to drive on the streets or when he really wants to let loose, Craig can hit up Aston Martin’s test track.

“I’m lucky enough that if I desperately want to drive in an Aston Martin, the company is just fantastic to me,” said Craig in a statement. “They’ll let me go on a track and drive one all day long.”

The perk made Craig decide not to buy an Aston for himself. He says: “I could drive it faster and more furiously (on the track) than anywhere on the road. I live in London (and) it doesn’t make any sense to drive an Aston Martin there. I’ve nowhere to park it.”

There are fans and then there are obsessive fans. The latter goes for one fan that brought a crashed Aston Martin DBS that plunged into a lake in northern Italy during the filming of Quantum of Solace.

According to 007 Daniel Craig himself, the crashed DBS was brought by a collector for a total of £200,000 – that converts into $350,364. That’s about $120,000 more than a new Aston DBS sells for.

The DBS was one of the 6 used during the filming of the James Bond sequel.
