Autocar review - DB11, Roma, Conti

Decent video comparison of all three pro/cons and I agree with most of his points....I have driven all three.

If Aston can refresh the DB11 with a Bentleyish interior and Roma driving sharpness they well have the best GT on the market. Current DB11 exterior design is best IMHO but maybe small tweaks needed. Looking forward to the GT cars refresh next year....Come-on Aston you can do it

I have been fortunate enough to have had a Bentley GT Speed and a DB11. I have also had a Ferrari but it was a 355 witch is a sport car.
The fit and finish of the Bentley is far superior to the DB11. In fact the previous generation of Aston’s are superior to the DB11. My DB11 is gone but I still have my Bentley and I’m on my third V8Vantage both are keepers.

The Roma is a the hot car right now out of the three. Looks super impressive on the road. Saw my first one in the wild yesterday; on the way to pick up my Aston at the dealer for a repair...

Yes, the Roma is the "hot" car but after reading some posts on the Ferrari board many owners are "hot" after dealing with issues. It seems Ferrari pulled an Aston Martin move and released the car before it was fully baked. There are many electrical/software issues and owners are spending a lot of time going back to dealers for multiple software updates...Very surprising from Ferrari but they went all in on screen touch controls..
