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....

I normally love Cropley's work, but that review seems to be the work of a rushed effort done on the train. Disjointed, no flow and some really odd phrasing:
"midships seating for the front occupants"
Eh? As opposed to what? The front occupants sitting on the bonnet?
Really looking forward to seeing a twin test of the new Vanquish and the SLS GT - that's the car I see as the main rival.

Is that a proper automatic I read?
all I see is no manual option ;(Will be very interesting if this rings true...
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.
