Again, I'm not the market for a $200K SUV. I need one understated car for my daily work that isn't too outrageous and doesn't scream "look at me" to my clients.

Will wait to pass judgement on exterior of DBX in person, as I actually like the exterior of the Vantage in person.

But the screen in the DBS / DB11 looks like it's just stuck on top of the dash and I can't get over that look. It feels way too pedestrian for an Aston. I like the integration of the screen (and size) on the DBX interior. Looks more like it was planned vs. an afterthought. Still....the flip up screen in my 15 Vanquish feels very bespoke and British. Kind of like the rotating screen in the new Continental. Classy....
Respect and understand about Urus. It is
more in your face flashy buyer. Probably male buyer too.

DBX as we know wants to expand more to female buyer. I think (hope) they do. Be interesting if hit the China and ME market strong. Quick overview below.

Good move on the interior with the integrated screen - all the models should adopt this immediately.

Can't wait to accessorize mine with the "portable dog washer", whatever tf that is... A hose, maybe?
lollll

Uris went after female buyers when it was featured in Charlies Angle movie, personally I don;t like the look of the Uris, but you see them around here in Minneapolis - too much Star Wars interiors on the Lambo's

I find the Urus and new Cayenne to be hideous (I used to own a 958 cayenne), their lower bumpers and fascia are so massive they look terrible... aston fixed that with the massive aston grille and DRL holes and I think it looks fantastic by comparison... it makes a large vehicle appear small and sporty while also being roomy on the interior, I seriously think these will sell like hotcakes to the ladies if they advertise properly... **** give one to the kardashians for them to drive around in lol

It would be nice to have a CUV version someday. Just like I wish there was a mini Infinity QX50 (that’s a beautiful SUV, too)

Definitely looks better than the spy pics. But still not a fan of the duckbill new vantage trunk. Would've looked better with a variation of the Vanquish lights, but then again that's old design.

The interior is way better than in the current DB11/DBSS/Vantage, including the better integrated screen, as well as the MB tech/infotainment (MBUX, that is 3(!) generations newer than the one in the current DB11/DBSS/Vantage) and of course the new 9-speed tranmission. Let's hope this all finds its way towards the other models (also for me THE reason to stick to my "old" DBS for now).

That's great news! I just checked out DBX specs and noticed "Mobile phone operating system connectivity via Apple CarPlay". Hope this makes its way into DBS.

My 2017 V12S came with Apple Car Play, so I think that's become a standard since then. Anyone here order a DBX or going to?

Correct me if I am wrong, new DB11/DBS/Vantage come with a different generation of MB infotainment system. They don't have CarPlay.

I am really excited for them and it looks awesome so far. Going to be an amazing car. I heard some of the details from the dealer who just got back from DBX training in TX. Get that stock price up! Our dealer is expecting a DBX drive day in March.

Urus looks true to Lamborghini styling as does the DBX to Aston Martin. Both marques did a great job of making an SUV with their respective heart and soul of the brand.
