I believe that it is a necessary evil. Aston needs to remain competitive, while emissions regulations are getting tighter. It's not a hybrid or electric powertrain choice, otherwise perhaps we’d complain... yet.

Performance is better than heritage. The DB12 is a more agile, more responsive car thanks to the V8. In every way it's an improvement.

If it were just the engine then I think it would still be one of the best experiences the community has seen. But the DB12 still is a proper Aston, V8 or not. On top of that, the engine is sourced from AMG, and it’s a gem.

I'm torn. Objectively, the V8 is better, but Aston’s V12s were something special. It’s a shame to lose a part of automotive history.

Honestly, most DB12 customers won’t even know or care what’s under the hood. All they care about is the badge and the looks.

I give it a thumbs up. The advantage of the V8 is that it allows better weight distribution and handling. And Aston has finally made a car that drives as good as it looks.

Definitely a departure but not necessarily a bad departure. Picking up the V8 also brings along new possibilities for tuning and performance upgrades.

Progress is important as well as heritage. The V8 DB12 is faster, more efficient, more relevant in today’s market. Aston made the right call.
Is the DB12 a match for the established players like the Ferrari Roma?

Absolutely. With the looks, performance, and now the tech, the DB12 has what it takes to go up against Ferrari. Plus, it has that understated British cool that the Roma can’t match.

No way. Ferrari has another level of brand cachet. A Ferrari is something that the Roma might not be objectively better, but it's a Ferrari. That’s something to buyers in this segment.

It's not about competing directly. The DB12 brings a different experience, more GT, more useful daily. This is for a buyer who is looking for performance but isn’t going to be showing it off.

On paper, sure. In reality, Ferrari has such a racing pedigree and emotional appeal that Aston will always be playing catch up in this segment.

The DB12 has a real shot. That AMG engine is a monster, it's gorgeous and the interior is great. It’s also more exclusive than a Ferrari.

That depends. The DB12 is a better all rounder, the Roma is more pure sports car. The other is great, just a different flavor.

Aston’s biggest challenge isn’t the car, it’s perception. Aston has to lose its old man image to really compete with Ferrari, and the DB12 is competitive.

It's about time! The old system was a joke. Finally this one brings Aston into the 21st century. For them to remain relevant, it’s not just a game changer, it’s essential.

Meh, people don’t buy Astons because of the tech. Most buyers won’t care as long as it works. What matters is the engine and styling.

It’s a huge improvement, but it’s a stretch to call it a game changer. They’re just catching up to where other people have been for years.

The new system is awesome but it's more than just the interface. Aston is still playing catchup on the whole connected car experience.

It’s a big deal for Aston loyalists. Say no more to apologizing for having outdated tech when showing off your car. It removes a major weakness in the Aston package.
