I work at a medical office. About ten yrs ago, I had driven to the bank next door for change, and as I pulled back into our parking lot, my spidey car senses went off, and I noticed a black DB9 Volante parked close to the front of the lot. Of course, I had to know who owned it, so I scanned our lobby looking for a potential Aston owner. Noticed a fella standing beside our aquarium that seemed to have the swag to own one. I opened the lobby door and asked him if it was his. He said yes and I proceeded to tell him how beautiful and special it was. He immediately pulls the key out of his pocket and hands it over. The car had no gas, sitting on empty. I crank it up and drive around a few blocks w the top already down. Got to have a lil fun w it, even scared an old man walking down the street. That v12 sound on throttle and the way that car looked, I will never forget. I will always wonder if he made it to the gas station tho. Love those Astons.

There is no denying that, while a little long in the tooth, it is still a beautiful design and it is clearly an awesome sprinter. While admittedly minor (and the gauge cluster looks befitting a vehicle of this caliber, it is really hard to get past the Atari looking infotainment hard plastic box. One could forgive the not fit into the dashboard look, because many still do it but why not stick an iPad there instead or do away with it all together? The Chiron has, This thing looks like it has 720 resolution. Acceptable for a Toyota but not at this price point. Such a pity for the send off (understood, why spend the money to design a new info screen but still. Fire away.

I would LOVE to take one out for a drive, just for the experience!
But I don't know if I'd really want to own one. Simply put, it's just too much for the vast majority of drivers, myself included! A quick way to an early grave, or a very long time behind bars!

Awesome, As an owner, AML has to get to the best of the model straight away, too many gaps on first release models, then it comes good at the end of the cycle. Lets hope the new Vantage and Vanquish knock it out of the park to go with the F1 efforts.

That interior is just not special enough for the price. I do believe materials are beautiful, but it just looks not Aston Martin special. Thats sad, because it's a very special car in total.

Cant believe you keep banging on about 759bhp from a Twin Turbo 5. 2 V12 RWD, when a 812 Superfast has 789bhp from a 6. 5 N/A V12! Not to mention the 819 bhp of the 812 Competizione!

Think I d be upset if I paid that much and had something that was supposed to be lightweight but clearly isn t and that had an interior from 20 years ago.

Beautiful, just not a major fan of the Merc infotainment. Why the new astons didn t find a way to fold the screens at very least. Just too much money

Engineering never better, but Reichman designs are a psychotic mess of design. Aston needs to find a competent designer to bring Beautiful back.

An ICE car in 2023. Aston is flirting with Rover's fate. 2025 it wont be legal to sell ICE cars in Norway yet Aston has nothing electric yet.

You'll need someone to clean those wheels for you and, if you can afford one of these, you probably do have such a person.
