Directo quote: "Unlike any performance SUV you may have experienced, one that outperforms every rival you care to mention. It’s more dynamic than a X5/6 M, a car Matt Becker and his team specifically benchmarked the DBX against for handling balance. It’s more resolved and natural in how it flows down a road making a Cayenne feel flat-footed and one-dimensional. It has a Urus licked for high-speed thrills, ripping along at a feral pace when you want it to. Yes, a Urus will always be ahead, but only in a straight line, because the DBX can carry more corner speed than the Italian, and any other pretender for that matter.The DBX gets a big thumbs up from Evo."

Wish: The world wasn't obsessed with CUVs. I'm not a fan. Wagons are so much better dynamically but maintaining cargo space of the CUV. I'd be much more excited about a Rapid shooting brake. Oh well, people like what they like.
Hope: This thing sells like crazy and gets Aston into a healthy financial situation that allow them to build some awesome sports cars.

 

mr jww very much likes it and wants to spec one for himself

 

Here, this would be WAY better. But I suppose no one would buy it.

 

Wagons are a tough sell in the US. Enthusiasts like them, but aren't buying them new either. Dealers don't stock them and it's a very particular consumer in the states that would go to the lengths of ordering a wagon.

 

...For every manufacturer except Subaru for some reason.

 

True! My mom has a Subaru Forester.

 

I like wagons, but ew no that one is hideous, did Mansory or Kahn design that piece of crap?

 

I think it's awesome, but this is one of those eye of the beholder types of things (like, some people actually think the new Vantage is good looking )

It was Bertone's last design.

I'm digging it too, but I don't think I would pay much more than the regular Rapide for it. With the back seats folded down, there's plenty of room as it is. The wagon doesn't add that much more practical storage.

 

I like it too. But then again, I’ve had both the BMW Z3 and Z4 MCoupes.
