Aston Martin DB9

[Twin Turbo]

Quite agree.....sounded as good as a Vanquish. I also liked the light coloured wood on the dash...although I think I'd go for "piano" black, with BRG on the outside.

Needs bigger wheels though. Despite those being 19 inchers, they look a bit lost in the arches.

Can't wait to see one in the flesh.

The car looks a lot better in the flesh than in piccies. I felt a little disappointed when I saw it in the press, but now I have seen it it looks great. You will only have the option of 3 woods on the interior though - walnut, elm and bamboo (!!!!)

Still not an icon like the DB7 though.......

But IMO better because it does not use parts-bin components like the DB7 - I aiming to buy my first in the next 6 months or so, and it will be a used DB7. However having viewed a few I belive there is no comparison to be made between the craftmanship of the DB7 interior with the previous big V8's. I'll probably still get one though Rich...

But I noticed that the DB9 is currently using the gearknob from a Focus ST170 !!

Ok and the air vents from a Volvo! But you know what I mean generally. R...

You forgot Mahoganny as well. I've gone for Platinum Silver , Deap Red leather and Mahogany. Can't wait !

Sounds like a lovely spec Shadytree. Not so sure about residual with a red interior though! The new range of colours don't impress me much as far as the blues & greens are concerned, but all the new silvers & greys look fantastic on the car. I reckon it will be quite colour sensitive just like Vanquish is. Vanquish only really suits the more 'technical' colours such as silver.

What dealer do you use?
