Chris Harris spoke very highly of the Aston. His only dig was the tech being old but who cares about that. Overall a good review.

V12V is infamous around these parts
A good review of the Aston which he would like better with a manual. Just like every other review. The ball is in your court Aston.

Good review, I really enjoy Chris's videos. He's got a great balance of being informative, interesting to listen to, and unbiased.

haha...
"I want it with a manual" - Almost everyone.
"I want it with a dual clutch" - Everyone else.
"I want it with an automated manual" - Nobody. At all.

Scottblack: Thanks for finding this. Chris Harris… Is there anyone better at reviewing cars?

Regarding the three: I love the GT3. A Porsche dealer friend loaned me one for a weekend and found I the car to be a really remarkable machine but I couldn't live with it an a daily basis as its too pure a race car, not a sports car. The MB is just too "boy race"r for me what with those wings and "Darth Vader" looks; that I'm just not a fan of most MB products as they come across as to pretentious. That leaves the V12S which is my choice despite its auto-manual gear box. I hate flappy paddles so perhaps I'd swap-out the gearbox for a proper manual (I'm in dream land anyway so why not). Also, in my opinion, the color Yellow is only suitable for NYC taxi cabs. But as a daily driver the Aston suits me the best.

Ha, that's a pretty good summary of the way it is.
