It will be....
at least another ten months before I feel cool with making a decision, so I'm not sweating it at all, I could have 'pulled the trigger' many times, but I genuinely want to buy the car that I'll keep 'forever' 😉....
My first impressions....
from looking at the footage, and images are highly favorable. I think the design has intricate features that either don't show, or come across flat in images, where when in person are likely to significantly enhance the aesthetic language....
I like the look
but there was large helping of BS in the video & narrative. It's still a car, not a medieval warlord.
I do appreciate their sincere efforts,
and, I guess, we are better off for having that footage than not having it, but they are more frequently than not hyperbole-prone, and nowhere close to the thoroughly experienced, admiring yet level-headed reviews of the likes that Tiff Needell, Jay Leno,...
Couldn't agree more.
I haven't really liked AML's advertising efforts since the end of the 2000s. In the last few years, since Stroll (Lawrence Strulevich) took over, they evidently hired people who inhabit the hyperbolic, ADD mindset which dominates current social media land...
Little love for that beautiful, thiccc rear end 😄☺️
I genuinely like how they completely hid the rear shut lines with that center shield, and how the light elements are the individual 3D shapes previously used on the Valkyrie, Victor and Valiant........
AM obviously has high hopes for this car
As described in the Top Gear article "Aston says production will be capped at no more than 1,000 examples per year, to keep the V12 exclusive". At a price over USD$429k, they sure are optimistic about sales volume. But hey at least you know it's going to ...
I completely agree with you.
With that said, when I played around on the AML website configurator, and specced out a DB12 exactly the way I liked it the price went from $250K base, to $350K!! In that context, given that the Vanquish is almost 'fully loaded' at that base price (all ca...
That obviously makes the most sense....
I could have already done that many times.... It honestly mostly depends on what my overall situation is like at the moment I decide to go for it, it will be a responsible decision either way, and if it has a higher price tag, it just means my financing t...
Absolutely.
Ironically, in that context it's less expensive to maintain a brand new car that has at least a few years of warranty, and where all of the components are fresh off of the factory floor....

I don't have problem with the price at all
and if i have the money, I would go for this instead of DB12 too. I just throught that they may be too optimistic to move 1000 annually. But then apparently DB12 is sold out until 2026, so maybe selling 1000 of Vanquish is possible.
They based the number on previous....
flagship vehicle sales figures. Definitely remains to be seen!....
A mish mash of endless meetings and surveys of top execs frightened by Mister Stroll.
That's my feeling. I might be wrong but they are trying to satisfy the tastes of all their customers from USA to China etc. (Hence the Valhalla which had a lot of modifications) Too many gimmicks, needless to talk about the 'artistic' video... Aston Marti...
I believe this is their strongest line-up since....
the end of the 2000s, early 2010s. How well will the cars sell??.... Now, that's the 'billion dollar question' even they are perpetually asking themselves.... Recent years have not yielded strong enough sales volumes, apart from the extremely limited hype...
