Db11 replacement

[oilit]

Did anyone else get an email about the db11 successor this week?

[oilit]

It read as if it’s a refresh, new lights, new dash and apparently revised suspension, but it read as if it could (might)be getting a new name?

“……as one of our customers I would like to offer an invite to meet the heir to DB11. This is no mere GT. This is the next landmark in a lineage of legends…….”

Tbh i was surprised to get one, but if its like the green one i shared here a month or so back its hardly a big enough difference in my eyes to warrant a new name (not like db6-7-9-11)

But hope it sells well, I'm not the target market !

Thanks for those pics, actually looks like we might even see a return to the side strakes? That would be a big step forward imho to getting back to aston martin dna.

Brilliant There's probably a grammatical term for this little gem, but I'm sure as hell I don't know what it is.

Ha ha - good point - it reads differently now - it all made sense when i typed it!

So vantage and db’x’ will be front engined sports/gt, and valhalla/Vanquish will be the higher end mid / rear engined sports?

Synthetic fuelled v12? Must be a ‘do not erase’ question on a Gaydon whiteboard now surely?

[quote=Minglar]I received an email today offering me the chance to register my interest in the new car. The dealer who sent it also said that production of the current car has now stopped and they have received their last ever example.

+1 it was a bit ambiguous - next gen db11?

As for this sentence :- Everyday, we grow closer to meeting the heir to DB11. This is no mere GT. This is the next landmark in a lineage of legends. A monument to modernity, risen from an icon. Reinventing the category we first invented more than 70 years ago.

What do those 44 words actually tell us?

I disagree, i think we have seen people praise the product when they think it looks/sounds/drives as they personally expect it to.

My point above is AM need to cut through the fluffy words and just deliver a great product that resonates with at least 10,000 people worldwide who want/have to buy it and AM have a path back to success.

The sales numbers suggest the comments on here have not been isolated to a small corner of the internet, perhaps, more that people here have voiced what they think (free speech and all that), but the truth is not enough people have spent their hard earned money with AM - so they maybe share the same thoughts?

There are plenty of threads on here that suggest why that may be and we don’t need to open up that old hornets nest again.
