True, but most of us aren't brutally honest when we don't approve of something owned and liked by another. As an analogy, if someone at work asked me how I liked her new hair style, I wouldn't say "I think it's f**king ugly" if I indeed thought it was f**king ugly. In a society, we temper such comments to avoid being rude or hurting feelings. Although this forum is an anonymous exchange over the internet, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't use the same manners and courtesy that we would use out in the real world in a face-to-face discussion. Now that's just my opinion.

I'm sorry, the Virage never should have been released. Change for the sake of change doesn't make something better. And in this case AM completely missed the mark with poorly chosen tinkering.

The V8/12, DB9 and DBS are good designs...the Virage and Rapide not so much. Virage sales are miniscule compared to the DB9 and DBS...there's a reason for that.

Who pissed on your Cornflakes?

IMHO it is the DBS that is over styled with it fussey front bumper and Mansory style sills

What are this years sales number for the DB9/Virage/DBS for the year to date then

But each to their own
