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.

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!

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

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.

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 !!

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!

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

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.
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.
