Actually a pretty spot on review of the car. But I still love it

 

What a pompous jerk! Yes I will admit that the NAV system in my 2007 Vantage is not to the latest technology. But in my car it was fairly current when the car was new. It would seem that over the lifecycle of this car Aston Martin has chosen to improve power, ride, and handling, wheels, and interior rather than technology. My car is a manual transmission so I can't speak to the sport shift but I have heard some complaints about it. There is such thing as doing a review and being critical without coming across as a dick!
Last September when I went to the Aston Martin focus group here in California, technology was the constant theme that my self and the other owners were telling Aston Martin needed to be more cutting edge. And I do agree any car over $40,000 should have navigation and Bluetooth all standard. I have a 2015 Mustang GT that I just purchased which has all the technology I can need or want. As nice as the Mustang is, and it is actually quicker than the Aston it's still just a Mustang.

It's just CNET. They lost all relevance a decade ago, along with AOL/Yahoo and Geocities. I can't think of one instance where I would seek out their review for anything, even computer related. CNET reviewing cars is like Car Craft reviewing tablets.
