Yes I agree, but there are other choices of wood trim available.

This looks better . The Vanquish looks more aggressive on the outside, but I like the interior of the DB9 better.

Question Yes and no
Yes, it is a beautiful car, but the Jag XK8 offers much the same looks for half the price.

The XK8 is a good looking car,but it's a V8, not a V12, and IMO still a notch below Aston's in styling.

Yes, this wood shade is a little on the light side, but at least it LOOKS like wood......something that can't be said for some of the ultra-dark and ultra-highly polished "woods" on some cars.

How about the Aston's natural color......British Racing Green? Would that raise it even more....or lower it?

Vanquish in British Racing Green. Natural color or not, I don't like it.

I was planning a visit to the local AM dealer about ordering a DB9. Lease on my SC430 expires July 2006, so now may be the time to get in line for one...

Probable would get the coupe, don't really like soft tops.
