Neither seem particularly well written or thought out reviews, particularly the auto express one. Not sure we have learnt anything we couldn't have guessed - the car is a little faster, has new skin & interior and is a littel better than DBS

The comments on the gearbox in autocar are encouraging

Think we need a test drive or a better review before jumping to any conclusions....

Very disappointing review there for the Vanquish. There is a fear that whilst it may look nice and improvements in some areas, it just isn't the vaste improvement that AM needs to take the brand higher. Interesting as I have also heard bad reviews on the One-77 and AM not allowing journos to drive it so they couldn't report on how bad it really was to drive. I really hope AM have produced a good product here.

That was my understanding too.

Although Steve Copley's review contains, "It betters even the One-77 at a fraction of the price."

If he has not driven it, that's serious bullstting.

He also hints that basic spec before extras is poor, whereas the reality is that all Aston are incredibly well specced as stadnard compared to their opposition, regardless of the dotty prices of options, which is wheer Aston have simply followed suit with regard to strategy
