A little too hard-edged design for Aston. I like the aggressiveness, but crave the subtlety. It's like Jessica Alba dressed up as a rock star -- still pretty, but out of character.

The interior carbon fiber stripes are too distracting. Otherwise, I like it.

Way overstyled, especially the front lip. Much prefer the original AM.

I like the two tone interior in the volante, but am not a fan of that wood on the center console. Maybe it's the lighting, but it looks cheap and tacky.

I like it, I like that color wood too but it would look better in a tan or cream colored interior. I think the DB9 dash/interior looks better and more upscale/elecant then the new DBS.

Pretty hot car, although they could have went without those quad fogs. I don't like it at all.
