A bit girl-ish interior, if you ask me…

I saw one of these the other day, just driving around town like a normal car. It’s amazing how hardly anyone was taking any notice of it. I on the other hand nearly rear ended an L-plater because I was staring at it (that’s no joke either, it was only the ABS that saved me). But that’s really only because I know what it is.

The biggest thing I found though was the ‘wank’ factor, as I call it. It was nil. Zero. Nothing. The only other supercars I’ve seen in real life are a Gallardo, a Murcielago and an f430, so while it’s not the biggest sample I would have to say they all stand out in a crowd as, well, wanky. Don’t get me wrong I’d own one in a second, and drive it everywhere looking like a wanker.

But the Aston, as beautiful as it is, just somehow isn’t a wanky car. Of all the cars in the world if I could own any it would be a DBS, but most of the points stand for the DB9 as well, especially the looks. Just a gorgeous, gorgeous car.

The Aston Martin is a great looking car probaly one of the most lovely designed cars in the world. But Aston Martins arent that fast for the price!

What a laugh!
When finally some british car maker comes up with a good-looking car design in 2007, suddenly reviewers like these clowns compare it with Ferrari saying it looks better.
They remind me of the Yank car review that came to the conclusion that the Ferrari cost so much more but could only go a few miles an hour faster than an american-built muscle car (in a straight line)!
And imagine calling the 612 Scaglietti oddly shaped!
Not that I think it’s the best looking car in the stable, but let’s concentrate on the DB9.
There’s no denying it’s a good looking car, but before clowns start to vaunt its beauty, let’s not forget where those design principles which have produced such a car come from.
Given the extent of good designs available historically, it’s about time someone put them together properly to design a good looking car.
As for the car itself, I have seen that front in previous cars. The hip treatment is not new. the melding of its lines and some of the lines themselves are not new.
What these clowns are calling ‘odd shapes’ is actually an attempt at innovation, so the design is recognisably new, not like the DB9 which looks like a (pleasant but old!) melding of previous designs.

Moral for the reviewers: Please scan historical car designs from Bertone, Pinin Farina etc. before making such silly statements.
I know it’s a relief to finally be able to call a british car good-looking, but really…

The paragraph that stood out referred to be being cut off by someone in heavy traffic.
Reality in those conditions,just another slab of sheet metal with four wheels.
Like all performance machines of this calibre they are not the every day driver & nor should they be.
For me something to be cared for & cherished.
WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A GO……ONE DAY
Dream on.

A mate of mine spotted one of these when he was staying up at a farm in the adelaide hills! He chatted to the owner and took a bunch of photo’s on his phone. The guy went over to the factory in the UK to pick it up and all. The photo’s are half decent (if u call 2 megapixels decent lol) so I might send them to the site. Not that they are as good as the pics up here, they are still nice, because this is the most beautiful car EVER!

It sucks I say it ALL THE TIME. “Cant compare a Euro car against the local stuff too as the price difference is so great”. Well every one else in the world does against their local market,in a resent mag I read in the States they compare an Infinity {Nissan thing} against the BMW 3 series twin turbo Coupe . Of course the BMW beat it but there was little or no difference in price there.

Aussies always get totally f****d over by car costs — how can you explain why the Vantage, which sells for in N.A. for US$112,000 (including dealer delivery + taxes = AU$130,575) costs us AU$245,000 !!!

you’re right on all points SRT BUT, All 911’s look the same. The DB9 is a supermodel. The 911 Turbo, in comparison, looks like a Target catalog model.
