Have to say Greg the DBS is still my favourite of that line. i just think they mistakenly got it so right it almost should have ended right there instead keep trying to improve something that didnt need it. it looks classy and subtle. the new Vanquish is nice but a few too many accentuated bits for me. it is trying a bit too hard.

Well, that concludes the first weekend with the DBS. It's tucked away in the garage now until next weekend. Thanks to everyone for your kind words - it's a fabulous machine and I feel extremely fortunate to own such a beauty. Enjoy your Astons everyone!

Quite possible - someone's in for great car. Recently serviced and only "Paddied" a few months ago.

I know what you mean. It's almost as if the Vanquish is ahead of its time in terms of Aston styling. I prefer the DBS over a Vanquish right now although it is growing on me every time I see one. It's just the arse of it I'm not sure about. And no bloody analogue clock!

That is a viewpoint that never occurred to me. Two AM dealers kindly lent me a Vanquish and I can honestly say that I thought the arse looked good as I walked towards it to get in. When driving the car, I didn't notice the lack of an analogue clock, just the beauty of the bonnet with the road beyond.!

Mind you, I do have a pipe and slippers car.
