Db11 design still not growing on me. Specially at 198K price for v8 version.
how many like the Db11 design?

Not really liking the direction the designs are going

 

after having seen a bunch in person in different colors over the weekend its a very nice large, wide car, photos don't really do its stance justice, and its all about how you spec it out... every color makes it look so different, and like with most astons, pictures do them no justice!

Honestly In person I preferred its more modern looks to the Vanquish Volante which now is looking dated compared to the DB11

 

+1
The design is nice but not Aston Martin nice.
The proportions are off.

I like the db9 a lot more!

 

I was at a dinner at AM of DC the other night and there was a white Vanquish parked next to a white DB9 (facelifted, not early one), and seeing the two side by side really struck me for how absolutely stunning the DB9 was in its final years. It honestly made the Vanquish look a little silly.

I've seen a few DB11s in person that I thought were beautiful, and I've seen a few in person that did nothing for me whatsoever. I think a lot of it comes down to the color options, especially with the roof.

Still, the last of the DB9s are hard to beat on looks, and I don't think the Vanquish or DB11 have done that.

 

Don't imagine I'll ever come to terms with the DB11 styling. Of course, I said that about the Vanquish and now l love it. But I disliked the Vanquish far less than I dislike the DB11.

 

exterior growing on me - needs larger wheels - interior does opposite of growing on me - what ever that's called...

 

Growing apart, like me and the ex!


There was one in the shop last week so instead of the "showroom" I got to really look this one over. In person it's much nicer than picture, but it's a big car like the late DB9 sitting next to the V12S dogleg, the 9 looked over a foot longer, wider, taller, not the small pure sports car I want. But still beautiful, the 11 looks beautiful in monochrome, but in floating roof it looses me. But is still too big, V8 or 12.


I do not like the dash at all, the rest of the interior I do like.

 

I agree, I love a lot of the exterior details. Interior not so much.

Overall, I like it. Important is the combo to one's own spec makes the difference. Some of the bland colors (to me) just don't give it enough punch.

What I do question is size is larger than the DB9. But that is what the mass market worldwide wants. Maybe it's a generational thing.

 

Not a fan of the black pack (if that is what AM calls it). I don't like it on the Evora either; the black roof.

 

Comparing DB9 and Vantage to the XK; they look so tiny. I think they had to make so for the consumer and perhaps pedestrian crash laws?

 

I just took this - this AM

 

learn how to park Prefurbia!

 

Wasn't worried about someone needing the space while I backed in for the picture at 7AM this morning! Also wanted some separation for the picture. Looks like the DB11's are starting to move out the showroom here.
