I love the wheels Robert..For me the suit the yellow and the black on the car...........The old car was mad as a box of frogs...This with more power must be bonkers.

It will be very, very expensive from what I have heard........Looks like every other Aston...Yep...Not a bad thing in my books to be honest...

A V12 Aston would be fun and that looks surprisingly good in yellow. But so, so very expensive.

I'm afraid the Italian options win for me. Unless I had the loot for multiple silly cars in which case one of these would be somewhere on the list, probably.

Now you've gone and spoiled it, Newton! Mind you, think what you could do with the money you'd save.

Agreed; the original DB9 was a fabulous looking thing, but every iteration since has been a rehash. Beginning to look a bit tired now but it looks like they can't be bothered to design anything else. A bit like the 911.

I suppose since Ford took over, design costs are on the back burner. I do like Astons, historical build quality and good Grand Tourers. They fall down a bit on performance, or have done, for the money you can get better unfortunately, but they are still an icon..!!

It's only my opinion, but I think they have somehow cheapened the look with those bonnet vents..!!

The DBS Volante has the V12 6 Litre lump, it looks a lot better IMHO. If they kept the vents but had the big ones in body colour, that may look better..??
