Some of the pics from my DB11 test drive.
I love it ! Glad to see all new electronics inside. Wish the display screen will close or go inside.

Still haven't come to grips with the styling. Looks too disjointed, front to back, for me. Current gen is better, styling wise, with DBS and Vanquish being the pinnacle.

The side view reminds me of an i8. I think I prefer the lines of the DB9.

I like the view from the rear, that part they got right. The rest of it? Meh.

I still think the V8VS is the best looking car they have.

Not serious...

Have you SEEN a DBS?

+1

On first look at the VH cars in the early 2000s they just looked right in every way. All of them. Although I do agree actually that the proportions make the Vantage the best looking, personal opinion. They hit a home run right away. This car is more polarizing, it's not "right" like the previous cars are. It's interesting, and more aggressive, but also busy and less cohesive. It lost some elegance.

Of course I have seen a DBS. I just like the V8 looks better. Sorry that my tastes don't meet your standards.

That's OK, some do like that short, lumpy look instead of sleek, smooth perfection....

Smooth is spelled with how many o's? Because I'm counting quite a few...
