Does the DB9 Coupe hold up to modern luxury standards in terms of the interior?

It handles exactly as it should in the DB9. It's not meant to be a razor sharp sports car. It has to do with traveling long distances quickly and comfortably.

A jack of all trades, master of none. Good at many things, but not great at any one thing. That’s not always a bad thing for a GT car.

The handling is underrated. It's not as sharp as a 911 but more engaging than most people give it credit for. When you really push it it comes alive.

For its size, it handles well, but come on… most DB9s are going to spend more time cruising boulevards than carving canyons. And for that, it's perfect.
Is the DB12 a match for the established players like the Ferrari Roma?
03 February 2025 08:20
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.

That they developed it in house impresses me. It shows that they are serious about tech now. They could leapfrog some competitors if they keep iterating.

It's a double-edged sword. Better tech is nice, but part of Aston's charm was the analog, old school feel. I hope they don't lose that in the push for modernity.

It’s the aging test that will be the real test. Infotainment dates fast. Will Aston keep it updated, or will it be outdated in a couple of years, as their previous systems were?
Is the DB12 really worth the hefty price tag?
03 February 2025 08:20
Absolutely worth it. The DB12 is art, not just a car. This is British craftsmanship, heritage and exclusivity that you are paying for. It’s a Savile Row suit on wheels.
