DB11 for sale

[Agent57]

Another horrible colour / grill/ roof combo. Must be ex AM Marketing dept.

Save £365 over a new car that you could have specced nicely.

[RobDown]

Golden saffron apparently - that's a new one on me; at first glance I'd prefer cinnabar

[old phart]

I read - Launch Edition
I hear - Final Beta version

[ajr550]

Absolutely horrible.
I'm still not sure about DB11 design but am convinced it looks best in traditional Grey/Silver/Black and body coloured roof.

[petop]

Must be minority but i quite like it.

[northernmedia]

me too

[ajr550]

Should have said IMHO.
If we all liked the same thing it would be a very boring world.

[xcentric]

saw one in grey with ?grey roof and black rear pillars (I think) at Stratstone Wilmslow - gave the roof a floating look and was fantastic. Less sure about this one tho.....

[ace of the base]

Each to their own, but I don't like the colour and it's even worse with the black roof.
The one in light blue doing the tester rounds was equally unattractive.
A pity because I reckon the DB11 is a nice looking car if not tarted up.

I'm increasingly sure....that I don't like it

[DB9VolanteDriver]

Still find that the front and back look like two different designers had a go. Cut out behind the front wheel is unattractive as are the directional wheels. And the interior? How utterly mundane could you get. Vanquish and DBS are far superior, well integrated designs.

All IMHO, of course...

[morty1961]

I prefer the shape of my early V8V or the same era DB9 .... IMHO they are becoming too fussy with creases here and add ons there !

[Car mad enthusiast]

Probebly an ex press car or dealer demo car. Cannot see a new private owner parting with it so soon unless 1. Its st or 2. They are being offered more than they paid for it by someone who want s to jump the waiting list que.

I like the exterior styling, not sure about that particular paint colour and really don't like the seat stitching.
Then again, I still haven't seen one "in the metal" so reserve judgment.
As per everyone else, IMHO.

[FloSpeed]

interesting seeing everyone's comments. I saw the car in the flesh last year at the Geneva Motor Show and it looked amazing, so much better in the metal and the paint looks amazing in bright light (sunlight), So much so that mine comes next month! :-)

Interesting enough the last few cars I have owned - Cobalt blue Vanquish and Divalio red Vanquish sold very quickly and for good money as silver, black and grey the choice is much larger and colour wise not so exclusive IMO - However, my good looks and not being to grey does help!:-)

[FrankieV12VS]

Very sad to say that rather than growing on me the DB11 is doing rather the opposite. I want to like it, I truly do and I want it to be a huge success for AM which I think it will. But for me, I don't think it is anywhere near as pretty/good looking as a DB9 and definitely not a DBS or Vanquish.

I don't like the rear end, the silly side strakes that interrupt the line of the wheel arch and as for that "add on" Sat Nav screen...please AM what were you thinking? Yes, I know it is Mercedes tech and needs must but please design/engineer something better. The large door inserts would also look more at home as a kitchen worktop.

I really, really hope the new Vantage doesn't have that sat nav screen either...

All IHMO of course.

Edit to say apologies to the poster above that is waiting for his DB11 to be delivered. I'm sure you will love it, but sadly its not for me. Enjoy.

Luckily this is my first contribution to this topic.

I admire everyone who buys lots of Aston Martins.

Enjoy your new DB11.

[hornbaek]

I have driven the particular car. I quite like the colour - my wife absolutely hated it and gave the owner - a good friend - a lot of stick for it. Its a nice car in any sense of way but not special enough to be the next generation Aston in my opinion and for that money there are other alternatives - even within the family that feel more special.

I think most agree that the original pre MY2012.25 Vantage, does have an excellent appearance from every angle.

Like you, I have a few DB11 dislikes, but I certainly do like the 3/4 rear view. Very little of the 'fussiness' is visible.



Many of us dislike the MB 'Halfords' tablet screen, but it does not seem to reduce the ever increasing number of MBs sold. My own experience of the MB screen reverse camera, is that the image is extremely wide angle. All clear behind, until you glance into the door mirror, and realise you are going to hit something.
