Do tell us more!
DBS one of my all time favorite car designs. Bonus that you can find them in manual.
Yes, 100%
Amigo, the white one is, in fact, a manual! I test drove both back-to-back because I've never previously driven either, and I felt it would be most illuminating to feel how they perform one after another.... The DBS is a 2011 model year, and the Vanquish ...
Ahh. Most 2014 Vanquishes are 6 speed in USA.
USA didn't really get the 8 speed transmission until the 2015 model year. I actually like the look of the DBS more than the rear of the Vanquish. Something about the DBS looks more aggressive. The Vanquish is more elegant. The interior of the Vanquish win...
My mistake there!
I totally mistyped 8-speed instead of 6-speed . Yes, the 2015+ MY have the better eight speed Touchtronic, thanks a lot for clarifying that straight off the bat! You are 100% accurate in saying that the auto trans are geared for efficiency, I truly had to...
Here's the detailed run-down of the DBS body....

LoL, same here =)
It will happen soon enough my friend . Thanks for the sentiments, Filip
I am hoping....
No more than a year or so from now, but we'll see, I always lean conservative when making such statements .
If it’s not a daily driver.
I would most certainly go for the manual. Nothing like rowing your own gears and hearing the engine blip and howl. It makes an otherwise mundane drive an exciting one. Hopefully, you get yours soon👍 ...
Agreed wholeheartedly!
Believe me, I'm the type of person who would actually daily drive a manual transmission since I've already done so for a few years during my undergrad school studies in Europe! The MT in the DBS is marvelous, despite the heavy clutch which does take a lit...
