2008 Aston Martin DBS Preview

"In March 2007, at Geneva motor show, the long-waited DBS will come to reality. Based on the DB9, with higher performance and handling capabilities, the street version of the concept that stars in Casino Royale will go on sale in fall 2007. The new DBS will replace the Vanquish in the Aston Martin line-up. The car will be limited to 300 units..."

This is from an exclusive preview on the 2008 new Aston Martin DBS. You can find info on it's design and features, as well as some history and competition the new model will face, and also view a photo gallery.

I want this car. I have never had an Aston make me look twice, but this one has completly had me captivated. I can't spend 300K, but i will wait to see what the actual pricing is going to be like.

some say it is a limited production run that will replace the Vanquish...hence the high price tag. But, look on the bright side, AMs are known for huge dep. hits.

i have heard the same low production talk, also i agree that there are large gaps in pricing for AM's. at 300K i am on the sidelines, but this car does rock!!

It is extremely sexy, but Im with you. I mean you are paying for the low production of it and you are also paying to have a "Bond" car. I just asume save up and buy a used DB9. Still one of the sexiest cars on the market! But I still have a ways to go.

The DBS is a little more out there. Its more of a "Hey Im the sexiest car on the market, need a lift?" The DB9 is more of a refined beauty. It knows it, but isnt so out there.

Dont get me wrong, I think the DBS is by far the most gorgeous car out there right now, but the DB9 is just class all the way!

By the way, do you like your EVO? Im entertaining the thought of buying either that or an STI. I just need to get out of my truck. I love it to death, but I need something a little bit faster, with nicer road manners, and more room.
