[cayman-black]

Nice colour and thats it, there is no way i would have one of those over any RR.

That one was near Gaydon.

If AM have pinned their future on this then things don’t look good. Will have to be absolutely sublime to drive and be a passenger in.

Perhaps a better image, this time of a UK spec car (but still pre-production) might help.

I think the picture of the one on the road doesn't do it justice - this looks great :-)

I'm in the market for an SUV and i would really like something else than a full fat Range Rover (I am on my eight) but the DBX doesn't do it for me. The whole idea of a sporty SUV is lost on me. I buy an SUV because it is roomy, comfortable, 4 wheel drive and can pull the occasional dighy or trailer. Acceleration and road holding will always be better in a lower and lighter car so why try even compromise with the above. I think the nicest looking SUV out there is probably the Volvo 90 but it only comes with a potty 4 cylinder engine so that simply does not work. I still find the RR, which is now into its 8th MY quite attractive, its only the electronics that need updating. The design is proving quite timeless. I wished Aston had taken a bit more inspiration from up the road in Gaydon.

New RR out next year. I’m waiting to see it before deciding whether I get another or go for a Defender!

..... so I bought this because it had a tow bar. I had never driven, or even sat in one before picking it up.

Looks very, Kevin. Racing green and it has 4 doors too.

I only recognise Aston Martins, so what is your car called ?

An SUV is an oxymoron how can you have sport and utility, they are opposites.

That’s a common view but the S is actually meant to stand for sports in that the car is good at letting you do sports - eg. carrying bikes and surf boards, going skiiing, towing boats etc. You can have relatively sporty SUVs and wobbly SUVs but they’re all SUVs in this regard!

Thank you Steven. How silly of me.

Of course I remember now, the car maker probably best known for their frog eyed Sprite model.

Ahhh okay, that makes sense I guess.

Do we have a date as to when the embargo is lifted?

Apparently the embargo isn’t lifted until August 10th.

So although plenty of journalists are getting behind the wheel, we won’t be seeing any reviews for a while!

Jon, it goes by the snappy title of Porsche Panamera GTS Sport Turismo

Aston Martin’s latest marketing slogan popped up on my feed this morning.

Beautiful is a number.

DB...X.....er who missed that memo?

Cough!!!!!!!!

There is only one KERMIT! Please!



Very nice motor though Kevin, had a soft spot for the Pan GTS ST since it was launched, but we went with the AMR Rapide which I guess is similar in many ways actually now I think about it.

I presume we have no idea what the X is supposed to mean.

For those people who built long straight roads, it would be number 10, but their descendents would now be buying Italian SUVs, so that cannot be correct.
Perhaps X for cross as in crossover, no number there.
Or maybe a kiss for Charlotte from the dealer, after she places her order. She had to wait so long.
A very low number price might be beautiful.

I can see Chinese punters lapping up gear with that slogan.

What the actual f**k does it mean?

They don't care

Saw a DBX on the Fosse way today - heading towards me on opposite side of road - i thought it looked rather good - must have been in a metallic blue

Different market i know, but the defenders looked a bit less resolved in comparison

Few sneaky video clips and a rather nice exhaust note in amongst the video...

From what I have seen, I really like it.

Its a big like a simmilar discussion yearsago over the DB7: It gave them the cash to make great cars. The Cygnet was not that car back in 2010. The DBX might just be...
