I'm going to buy some silver gaffer tape and make my own DBS replacement.

It does look like a DB9 with a bodykit

[AMDBSNick]

Oh dear

[Mr Purple]

I hope this is not it , as I feared the original elegant shape has gone and replaced by a mish mash of different styling all over the car , that guppy grill and Nissan lights ...........
Still I'll wait for the finished article at the dealers

That's the one I saw driving close to Gaydon. There is a LOT of tape on that one, pretty heavy disguise! Amazing how much a few bits of tape can hide. I think we will all be pleasantly surprised.

But as with everything - damned if you do, damned if you don't. Cars are criticised for all looking the same; so they change the design and it's a travesty. So they keep the same lines - they all look the same...

Can't please all of the people... Let's face it the only ones who need to be pleased are the potential buyers anyway, not some 14 year old kid posting in General Gassing with 'yawn, try something new' comment

That would be quite fun to do! Or get a black wrap with white swirls all over it so you look like you're testing a brand new car

[AMDBSNick]

Please please tell me I'm wrong but the rear quarters have hints of Evo do they not.

Lewis I tuly hope I am wrong and you are right

Reistered as a DBS 0n 1st February. Hope they call it something else

Think you have to register a protptype as something. It would be a DBS chassis to start with.

I also hope for a new name, never liked the use of DBS the second time round - DB9S would have been far more intelligent, or DB9 Vantage even better. But the shellsuit V8 took that name

The William Towns designed car nicely finished off the DB cars, and it should have been left there.

That picture, than angle... I see your point!

Angel, seeing as you sat in it, started it, and didn't even notice what transmission it has, can we be sure of anything you say..?

Oh, and did they mention when the world will see it? At a car show, a concours or just a genral release..?

The thread says new DBS pics, but I can't see any pic other than project 310?

Umm... what's your point?

Title says new DBS, the pic isn't of a new DBS? It's project 310, which isn't a DBS?

Is that not valid?

I dunno how to explain any simpler?

What is project 310 then? If not the replacement of the DBS, Aston's flagship? All the magazine's are calling it 'the new DBS'. Unless you expect it to be called the Aston Martin VH310?

Well, if magazines say it is, then it must be ?

Lets wait for the official word from Aston and then we will see what it is

[Mr Purple]

I'm looking forward to a brand new name am I not ?
