The Aston Martin DB9, the first car to be produced at the company's modern and recently completed facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire, is making its world debut at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show on Tuesday, 9th September.

I think its look is perfect... may have to consider changing my nick now :D

it looks wonderful, haha
i wonder if they will keep the DB7 in their lineup or they will replace it with the DB9?
just found out from the link above:
The DB9 will replace the current DB7 which finishes production at the end of 2003.

DB9 is in perfect size and should be a great car but it looks too much like a vanquish.I`v seen few artist impressions and those looked better.

[Chingachgook]

Really great car..better looking than a Vanquish, more powerful and with a manual gearbox!GREAT! IMO is too heavy, but the rear is a masterpiece

[jon_s]

I like it a lot, keenly priced too.

[stradale]

When I saw the spy-shots of the camouflaged car I thought it was a bit long. But now I've seen the pictures of the real thing and it looks great. A wothy successor of the DB7 IMO.

I love the rear end too. I always thought that was the DB7s weakest spot. On the DB9 the AMV8-look works perfectly.

(...) Gaydon, Warwickshire (...)

BTW, Gaydon?! :shock: Couldn't they have found a better sounding place?

Is pink upholstery optional or standard? Will there be a CC version? Will the DB9 Volante's codename be Hairdressers Delight? Will the DB9's tailpipes be wide enough?

So many questions...

[stracing]

aston always made beautiful cars...the only blot was that lagonda.

if i can find a db5 here i'd buy it. still my fave aston but not becuase it was driven by bond.

[dis3as3d]

A very british car. Not that there is anything wrong with that, if you like to be cuddled in plush leather and shiney wood. The DB7 has an amazing exhaust note.

[aawil]

I like the look more than the DB7. It has a more down to business look that the db7 didn't.

[alondahan]

It looks great but it's to much like the vanquish.

[Chingachgook]

When the AM V8 will be out, I think will be even better the this one to look at, and maybe, if it'll be lighter, even to drive

[Fleischmann]

The lads from Aston Martin have done it again...I thought that no car in the world will ever match the beauty of the Vanquish, they come up with the DB9.
Damn ! When will they stop ? I'm running out of wall space to put my posters up.

[altedza]

so beautiful :] i love the look of this :o im in the states and never see any am's though. i saw an older db7 once... amazing looking :O the db9 is fantastic!

[Fluxlo]

Don't like the rims one bit...but they can be replaced if needed. beautiful car...i agree with stracing, All modern Aston Martins are beautiful cars, i have yet to see a picture of an ugly one (and no, i havent seen the lagonda)

[ported_head]

looks exactly like the AM V8..damn..DB5 still kicks arse

[htfaber]

Very stylish car! I really really like the dash.

The startbutton is red, but when you press it and turn the engine on it becomes blue. Nice eye for detail.

A worthy replacement for the DB7 IMO, sweet smooth lines.

Now it's time to wait for the AMV8..........see my avater.

[Supernintendo Chalme]

Whoa, just checked out that link, what's with the buttons to select Park, Reverse, Nuetral, and Drive (that's what they're for right, it couldn't just be a coincidence that they're labled with those letters in that order but are for some other function)? That's some funky shit Aston's trying out, I always thought using a button to engage reverse in the Vanquish was a bit over the top, now we've got buttons for all gears!

[Ivanhoe]

i guess the looks are o.k... bah, still an Aston :?

[Reznor]

It looks like a beautiful car, and from the videos that i have seen it's exhaust note is perfection.

[bmwdakias]

it is definetly one of the most beatiful designs over the last years and it surely looks better than a vanquish, what i dont like is that it looks a lot like a vanquish and the upcoming smaller amv8 will look very similar too.there should be differences enabling even an unxperienced eye to tell them apart, i read somewhere that even the CEO of Aston had a difficulty in telling tghem apart.

[Fleischmann]

hmmm...tthe modern Aston Martins look quite similair...my cousin saw "Johnny English" and told me that there was a Vanquish used in the film...it turned out to be a DB7.

The design of the DB9 is sheer beuty, plus the sound of that V12 engine...damn, that's a fine car !!

[astonmartinandy]

I have to say that is going to be best new aston in a long time. They listened to the criticisms of the Ford parts' bin switchgear, so they have no gone all TVR and made their own dials to suit the car. The whole car looks just how the perfect GT should, with 4 seats, a long bonnet, short tail and a 6 litre V12. When Aston Martin run this alongside the AM-V8, due shortly as well, the company will be unstopable!

[HeilSvenska]

The DB9 looks too clean and I personally prefer the DB7 GT. I do like DB9 more than the Vanquish though.
and by the way ALTEDZA, the DB9 hasn't even entered sale yet, even in Europe.

It is true that DB9 uses the toned-down Vanquish engine right? or was it updated DB7 engine? i forgot

[he7lius]

I think Aston is currently making some of the most beautiful cars no the market today.
The AMV8 and the DB9 are very very nice. :D :D
It gives you a sence of macho finesse exclusivity (Bond like).
I love the 360 but i think on the inside its a bit ...........plain??
I think this is not only beautiful on the outside but also on the inside.

Would love to have this garage.
Everyday use DB9
Raceday 360.
