Nice to see they have stuck with VH and evolved it to give different options for windscreen, rear end and track. That should stop the "they all look the same!" comments

Interesting they comment about integrating MB electronics in to VH as well

It's just typical Autocar: take a known fact (the AMG engine and electronics deal) and make up a story around it, based on guesses from the manufacturer's past and things that other manufacturers are doing.

I am getting quite excited and cannot wait to see the new styling and technology.
It is a bit of a dilemma whether to sit tight with my current DB9V which frankly ticks all my boxes and wait a couple of years for the new models.

I'd be waiting, these changes should give a quantum leap in performance.
I guess the unknown is the styling influence of MB and whether the parts/build quality will improve?

Re.the "new" DB9,as it is supposed to be a GT I do hope they address the lack of rear seat legroom and provide a bit more boot space,more interior storage and a reliable sat nav and of course a decent amount of mpg.

Now you are avinalarf,do you seriously think I would ever consider a Merc ?
Well possibly a 300 SL roadster,that's yummy.
Not saying they are not a good motor .

Sometimes, young Jedi, it is the imperfections that give the car it's character. Remove them, you remove the soul.

Oh, and there would be less for people to moan about which defeats the whole purpose of this forum

Do you want efficiency or beauty ??

There is a lot if difference between " character " and poor quality control.
When one pays £150K and more one might expect one and not the other.
I love beautiful cars,but if buying a new model would like both.
I do understand that performance cars are like thoroughbred horses and not workhorses and as such can be a bit quirky.

The Short Blue One (turning purple in the sun) has a point!

In which case dufus don't pay £150k for a car

Perfectly good Astons for £35k !!!

Mikey......it is day 2 so I am at the approaching white stage. This call to prayer stuff is starting to do my head in

How dare you tell me how to spend my money !
Are you trolling today ?
On this Topic you contrast beauty over efficiency,whilst on another you bemoan a car with ill fitting panels.
This illogical behaviour is not befitting a Jockman.

Every time the tanoy blurts out Karen gets on her knees. Highly inconvenient when one is frequenting a cocktail bar

You wouldn't be half as entertaining if you were full size and didn't speak in a Scouse accent

Oh and are you in Anglesey on the 4th/5th of July?

Hope that db9 pic isn't accurate. I think it's lost all its grace.
