Thumbs up Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate [Swan Song]

I have always been infatuated with Aston's. It is the quintessential "Exotic GT".
The sexiest cars on earth IMO for the last decade or so. Magnificent inside and out. Orgasmic exhaust note. Shaped like a voluptuous lady.
It doesn't need to be the fastest. Why? It will get you where you need to go as fast as any human desires, all the while pampering you in scrumptious surrouings.
It is for me, the most appealing automobile on earth overall.

Now comes this... The swan song car. They have done just enough to make it even more desirable (is that even possible?). More power. More exterior sexiness. Revised interior with mouth watering carbon fiber and sumptuous leather buckets.

Just TAKE MY MONEY NOW...

They’ll be cool when they’re half price in a few years. Loved my Vanquish.

They look great in the Bond films and are currently making a name for themselves on the F1 race track albeit with Mercedes engines.

That looks amazing. When people ask me what I’d consider as my next car, an Aston is right up there. Or a Bentley GT.

I hope it works for them.

Great brand heritage. DB Mk III and 1987 Vantage Volante are my favorites.

Besides those I don’t care much for them. I drove a DB7 and wasn’t impressed. The driving position was quite bad. I want to like the DBX but it’s not happening - the interior looks daffy. Other choices at the price point are more compelling.

Aston certainly has earned a page in the industry history book.

those wheels don't look good enough to spend hours cleaning them.

LOL! Agreed! They are far too busy and not worthy of this car.

Wheels definitely do not fit the look of the car IMO. Considering how many great wheels they've made over the years, pretty disappointing. Most of the wheel designs for the Vanquish were perfect.

LOL! Agreed! They are far too busy and don't reveal the lovely Calipers.

Idk why but I've never cared much for Astons. I think their prior gen lineup looked much better. Current cars look chunky and I hear drive chunky too. Boats rather than sports cars.

Although a CPO V8 Vantage can be had for quite cheap. Certainly a more "exotic" choice than another 911 Carrera S for that price.
