    I was close but was underwhelmed. I may look at a DB12

    I owned one for nearly 3 years and absolutely loved it.

    Handling was sublime and the power and talk were breathtaking.

    2nd to 3rd gear was mis matched in ratios and the traction control was too intrusive.

    I was actually looking at these yesterday and Zi think they are more beautiful than the db12 and the new Vanquish.

    I've only sat in one, never owned one. It's a STUNNING car in person!
    Huge Aston fan. My '07 DB9 6spd Manual is a keeper for life. :)

    I've wanted to trade my Lusso for one for a couple years now but just can't get myself to make the move....

    The DBS is a lovely thing!

    Actually one of the best GT cars ever made.

    I was down at Aston on Saturday playing around with the configurator for the Valhalla and they gave me the keys to the Vanquish to which I said.... No thank you!

    Not because I don't like it..... But based on the fact that I knew if I drove it, would have bought one!

    I just checked and you can add an Apple Car Play Module into the DBS now.

    I wander if one could upgrade the traction control system too!

    If so, these two would be a game changer and I would buy another DBS!
