Lust: Aston Martin DB12

gonzo · 05-25-2023, 09:52 PM

I've always been an Aston fan but this 'upgrade' interior may actually push me to a dealer. The Vanquish and DBS, two of the most beautiful cars ever made, have some issues that just can't be ignored. To be honest, the DBS tech doesn't create the deal break, it's the constant traction light flickering...supposedly. I've never been fortunate enough to find out. The prices on the few Vanquish S' out there are nuts.

AM racing green, black wheels and calipers please. This silver car is lust though and I really hope they get the bugs out of this huge tech upgrade before release. I'd love to see Aston carry on with their unique British style for years to come. Like McLaren, Aston Martin even sounds cool just saying the words.

Gimme

Seems pics are starting to circulate. Can't say this is racing, too bright I think, but oh Billy.
Please sound raucous. Please sound raucous.

Looks great. Interior is the best from AM in a while. Simple, composed and coherent.

Looks like they are still using MB steering wheel and column switches. Cluster looks MBUX but console looks like PCM and VAG parts bin.

I like it. These will be great when they’re $100k in 4 years

Looks good other than the sensor cut out, hopefully the quality has vastly improved. Now if only they could fix the Vantage’s looks.

stevenopoly · 05-27-2023, 05:39 PM

this car looks so good. WOW!!!

Burrcold · 05-27-2023, 05:54 PM

Still a beauty but I don't think it's much of a change in the looks department from the DB11. Not that it needed it, but I was hoping to see the next big change from AM.

digital electronic interior is 🤮🤮🤮

would rather spend this kind of $$ on any older Aston Martin—-don’t care for the exterior either.

Maybe i missed it earlier, but this thing is quick.

I've always been a big fan of Aston Martin, I couldn't afford to get one new and the used ones being much more affordable worry me with maintenance, reliability issues and the cost associated with them.

This car is spectacular.

Eh? It’s got tons of beautiful hand crafted switch gear. All important functions are outside of the screen. They’ve done a cracking job blending old and new.

The Vantage is next inline for a similar huge update. Say what you want about Stroll but he’s doing a bloody good job.

Much needed interior improvements, looks great.

My buddy just got a 3 yr old CPO V8 Vantage for like $120k before tax. Astons are a great used proposition. This guy's primary objective is appearing rich, so a $120k Vantage was gonna win his dollars over a $120k 911 (which are far better to drive but not as "exclusive" in his mind).

Was at launch event and Aston has really stepped up on both the F1 end and also updating their newer cars.
