Awesome!

Thanks for posting your impressions. I just love everything about this car.....except the price and availability.

I'm going to have to check and see if the AM dealer here in Colorado has a DBS in the showroom.

Wow, beautiful car. I can't help but think that $270k+ for a GT is a lot (especially with the historical depreciation on AM's), but I can't think of anything else that looks that good in any sports car or GT. Congratulations on getting such an early allocation!

Amazing car, my dealer invited me to the DBS's US debut in Miami and I absolutely fell for the car. Pictures do not do it justice, it is simply a work of art. I was unable to test drive the car, however one of the salesmen turned the key and revved the engine a few times for the guests. Truly an astonishing vehicle.

Very limited production means meager "build dates" allocated to dealers. San Diego dealer took my deposit for an early '09 "build date" allocation. He still had 1 '08 "build date" available; November, I think.

Also, many dealers are using their allocations to order cars for inventory; expecting to get MSRP + markups to "Gotta have it NOW" type buyers. Stupid, IMO.
