Really looks great, it's one of my favourite current cars. I actually prefer this to the DB9

Do you have more pics of the interior maybe?

the only thing that bugs me is that stupid bee-sting aerial! those things shouldn't be found on a car this calibre

Was that a 6-speed?

All three there were 6-speeds.

I don't have more pics of the interior....my batteries died in my camera.

I'll get more pics once mine hits the ground in Jan/Feb....I bought one to sell.

Sweet! The interior and exterior design of that car is top notch. I wish some of the Aston style would trickle down into Ford somehow, but that is probably wishful thinking.

Our local dealer mentioned that there may be a supercharged version of the V8 coming in 2007 or 2008. Does anyone have some informations regarding this? Also is there any news of a convertible version of the V8?

Agreed. I drove a DB9 last week and although it is a nice car I will stick to the 640GT in the rear.

After seeing a slate grey like AMV8 in real life, I take back the "need to change wheels" part. I love the way it looks!

Saw the new DB-RS9 as well. Damn, that thing looks race track ready.

saw it at the collection and I love it, it had alcantara lining in the roof, and the engine start button is in the middle of the dash, amazing

I also saw a green db9 convertible on the road, and it looked amazing, the top really fit the lines of the car. it had temporary plates, and the guy wasnt pushing it at all. Saw it in Bal harbor
