2020 launch. They've got 5 years to make the DBX look better, and apparently make it a 4 door.
It's like Astons designers can only draw one shape. So when asked to make a 4x4 they just jacked it up a bit and put on big wheels.

I'm still watching. He's way better than James Martin - not in itself a high bar, I accept, but he does come across as a decent bloke who can't believe his luck smile

Perhaps they trained at Porsche.

Odd that a baker complained about the heat, surely he should be used to it.

The DB10 looks like a fish and the secret location looks like Millbrook.

Owning an Aston means diferent things to different peopl. On starting mine, the thoughts were often about cost, expense, and is that new noise expensive.? biggrin

Those old films they always show of the open top cars going round tracks with the drivers head being the only thing protruding above the bodywork are frightening to say the least.
One of the clips last night showed the guys arm flapping around with the car on top of him, then it went still.
After that you saw the car righted and luckily the driver getting out and dusting himself off!

It was typical BBC cookie-cutter fayre - superficial half-baked content, a presenter with only a tenuous link to the subject matter, a "challenge" that involves a "journey", yada yada.

Still, I watched it all the way through so it wasn't totally awful.

^^^ "cookie cutter affair", I see what you did there.

I thought it was some nice cars completely ruined by incompetent presenting. Sort of thing you might expect from the farthest reaches of satellite TV.
