No, I only think of witty things to say after the moment has passed.

Damn my feeble game!!! DAMN YOU!!!!

 

I just got back from a 2 year tour in England and everytime I saw one of those cars I had to sit down.....works of art, really.

 

Almost looks like it has a huge diffuser in this pic with the way your vent lines up to the bumper...

And one on the Corolla in front of you too

 

^^jaja that got me too

 

I really had high hopes for this car...Obviously gorgeous, but that has more to do with Henrik Fisker (who designed the DB9) than Aston Martin...he's no longer there and they haven't really done anything after that...DBS is a bodykitted DB9, The Rapide is 4-dr DB9...They've just been milking his design...We'll see what they come up with in the Vanquish replacement.

You'd think, its just so damn pretty, you gotta love it....until you drive one (especially if you're used to driving an S). Completely uncommunicative steering; heavy feeling; rubbery shifting, plus the exhaust noise is just a valve opening up. I was really disappointed after driving it...I wanted to love it but....I can't even imagine the convertible. 380hp would be great if the car wasn't as sloppy and heavy, but it feels anemic.

Of course there were hopes when rumors surfaced that Aston was going to produce a street legal racing version with carbon this, carbon that, perhaps supercharged...but of course they have to sell cars so they put all their time on the roadster...who knows if they'll ever come out with a performance version.

Now that Prodrive owns them though, perhaps they'll actually get some stones and put out real performance cars.

 

Aston's designer should get a medal. The car is stunning. While not as pretty as the DB9, it is still the closest thing to sex on wheels.

 

I still dream of owning a V12 Vanquish.......

 

i dream of owning your car dude

 

Absolutely gorgeous in that dark red color with the tan/brown interior. WOW.

 

Beautiful car 4 sure...




...but 380 hp 4 $110K does not compute.
