It doesn't need a ton of HP to be fast. Plus it can't compete with the DB9 anyways. Why would Aston shoot themselves in the foot like that?

Its as safe as it can get. Evrey model looks the same! AMs look really dated after only a few years. Look at the Vanquish. That looks like a bad sketch now. The interior is even worse.. Its the British thing to do. Funny thing is they dont own their own companies anymore... More they change, more they stay the same.... jordan, sorry its the same car over and over and over again…there isnt a design language.

And Aston Martins are not blinged. That is better left for Escalades. The DB9 and especially the new DBS are phenomenal cars as compared to the DB7, which in its own right is a great automobile. But yes, if I had the money, I would gladly upgrade to the DB9 or Vanquish from a DB7. Like I said, if you don't understand the point to a car like the Aston Martin, don't waste your time or money. Leave them to someone who can appreciate it. e46Ne90, The DB9 also has significant performance increases over the DB7, as well as added safety features, luxuries, and other gadgetry.

It looks like an Aston for the 21st century and that's what they were aiming for. And if you had to see them actually side by side you will see the difference quite clearly, even past the objects that you mentioned e46. And also, the Vanquish, DB9 and the Vantage look quite different on the road than in pictures, even car testers have said so. I wouldn't want Aston Martin to do what Chris Bangle has done to BMW.

The same way that a Mercedes Benz CLK63 AMG Black is not in the same performance bracket as the GT3 due to weight, the same applies here. BEAUTIFUL!!!
