DBS (interior)
vs.
Vanquish / Vanquish S (interior)
I am pretty surprised that Aston Martin kept the same amount of horsepower in the DBS compared to the Vanquish S.
One thing the DBS looks amazing from the outside.
I can't wait to see this happen on Top Gear. America/Japan vs Britain (Lexus LF-A vs. Aston Martin DBS)
5.0 L V10 vs 5.9L V12

One of the best looking cars, ever.
Slightly O/T: James Bond cars should all be like this, instead of POS Fords and what not.

The DBS was in Casino Royale. I was so sad that we only got to see about 15 minutes of it in the movie until he totaled it.

Oh yes, it was. But we've also seen some pretty crappy cars in the other Bond movies. Okay, back on-topic.

I guess Clarkson is right. That Vanquish interior is pure rubbish.
