Sachin MurthyJun 20, 2012 Vanquish sounds bad ass lol
Skylar GroutJun 20, 2012 Holy shit the chevy sonic is so long its like 1 syllable
Ben BourdonJun 19, 2012 It's full name would be "Aston Martin AM130 Vanquish", which is 11 syllables . If you include the name of the company then of course it's longer.
Carlton SalmonJun 19, 2012 @ Thibault. Try 22 syllables long? Mind you, most people will only call it a Gallardo anyway, regardless of what edition it is.
Josh BanningJun 19, 2012 Everyone's just gonna call it the Vanquish anyway
Nick SchneeJun 19, 2012 Exactly. The Super Trofeo Stradale has like, 15 syllables. This has only six...
Thibault LeroyJun 19, 2012 i think the lamborghini gallardo lp570-4 super trofeo stradale is really long when you read it all out
Phillip HolbrookJun 19, 2012 I think they could have settled on 310 Vanquish, everyone knows its an Aston Martin.
David Pires-IhsaanJun 19, 2012 Mercedes-benz sl65 amg black series is long.. Lamborghini murcialago lp-670 sv superveloce is long.. This is just fine.
Mark A. YoungJun 19, 2012 The name is like six syllables.
Kyle RowlandJun 19, 2012 I'm torn with the name because I liked the simplicity of DBS as the name.

John SerelyJun 19, 2012 I'm not sure if I like the name. They could have used "AM310" or "Vanquish" but not both, it's too long long IMO

Charles SpencerJun 20, 2012 Jeremy clarkson was wrong again!... another V12!!
Sachin MurthyJun 20, 2012 Finally got the power to back the racing heritage
Skylar GroutJun 20, 2012 I dont and probaly no one here owns one so you cant really say it sucks or is awesome
Michael DouglasJun 20, 2012 Most likely it will be a works conversion just like the old vanquish. They only came with the paddle shift, but AM works came with a conversion to manual. It cost something like 14,000£
Carlton SalmonJun 19, 2012 I'd read somewhere that there wasn't going to be a manual 'box available on this car. Can anyone confirm this?
Patrick JosephJun 19, 2012 Jarrod. You never buy an Aston because of it's power. Rather because it's a gentlemens sports car. It's beautiful and luxurious. The power is just a bonus.
Jarrod Mark PriceJun 19, 2012 There is a manual. Why is the auto 6-speed, not 7?
Aston are a little behind it on drivetrains if you ask me.
Sitting in the aventador, F12 price range with 700hp cars is going to be embarrassing come review time.
Phillip HolbrookJun 19, 2012 Regardless of what it replaces "officially", there will not be a One-77 again, which pits this against the F12 Berlinetta and by default the Aventador.
Phillip HolbrookJun 19, 2012 First page said it is the new flagship for Aston Martin, because the One-77 was a limited production car and is now sold out.
Stephen CobbsJun 19, 2012 @Phillip Its not replacing just taking ques from it.
Thibault LeroyJun 19, 2012 @Philppe its not replacing the one-77
Phillip HolbrookJun 19, 2012 No no no, if it's replacing the One-77 it needs the engine too.
John Darwin PriceJun 19, 2012 They had better offer a manual, agreedz
Kyle RowlandJun 19, 2012 I hope they still offer a six speed manual.
Kieren DonoghueJun 20, 2012 Normally I would hate that colour but I think that it works for this car so well! I think Aston have done enough to make this distinguishable from other Astons! Also love the power increase!
Carlton SalmonJun 19, 2012 Simply breathtaking. Love the colour also.
Mr TwoJun 19, 2012 looks good but they need a change mite aswel buy an old db9 and get same rezctions
Matthew CrightonJun 19, 2012 No nick, its just you thats autistic.
Matt PiccoloJun 19, 2012 @ Matty, how do these lights look like the 911's?

Emil KleijsenJul 01, 2012 @phillip, I wouldn't call the F12 a GT car for the same reason I wouldn't call the Aventador a GT car, because that would be stupid, The F12 is a two-seater supercar, the Aston is not, so there is no reason for them to compete as you suggested
Skylar GroutJun 20, 2012 ... I guess it goes againgst maserati quottroppe idk how to spell
Michael DouglasJun 20, 2012 I can't wait until the new Vanquish S comes out. Old vanquish had 460bhp couldn't break the 200+mph and the S had 520 and did 200+mph.
Garrett DeanJun 19, 2012 LOOK at the thing.. Then just try to complain. It's not for racing, it's for rich people who want to have fun driving and look awesome, which anyone does driving one of these. And the noise any V12 makes is worth it..
Layton CaterJun 19, 2012 O-62 in 4.1 is a little slow.... for the price. For 36,000 usd you can have factory supercharged toyota tundra that can pull those times. Yes i know it will not go around a corner or reach near that top speed.. just saying.
Carlton SalmonJun 19, 2012 4.1 to 60 sounds about on par for a car of this size and class. I for one wouldn't be complaining about how slow it feels whilst sitting behind the wheel. As previously stated people don't buy Astons for their outright power and top speed.
Abraham MendozaJun 19, 2012 Hey, 4.1 isn't that bad for a GT cruiser.
Alex RobertsJun 19, 2012 still, a little more performance wouldnt be bad
Abraham MendozaJun 19, 2012 The car is supposed to be smooth an comfy. Relaxed.
Jarrod Mark PriceJun 19, 2012 That's such a slow 0-60 time. Im sorry but anything this exclusive with a V12 needs easy sub-3s times.
Not for bragging but just to show you are up to modern standards.
Dustin LabitJun 19, 2012 Different gearing lol? Hp /=/ top speed.
Ghee ButtersnapsJun 19, 2012 The db9 did 186 with nearly 100hp less. Idk, something seems fishy to me
Nick SchneeJun 19, 2012 You cry 'cos of a 3 mph difference?
Ivan AlfaroJun 19, 2012 only 183mph?? the db9 was capable of 186!
Jason OfhorrormoviefameJun 19, 2012 The interiors are so nice on Astons that I can actually say the price tag seems justified despite being slightly slower to 60 than my 60k Corvette. A well done GT car, I usually think GT cars fail at speed and luxury too but this is a goodcompromise
Phillip HolbrookJun 19, 2012 But Aston does claim to be a direct competitor with Ferrari, and their GT car (Berlinetta) makes 700 ponies. If they had just used the One-77 motor they could back up that claim.

Yesmer de JongJun 20, 2012 It's about $298,000 and €235,000
Carlton SalmonJun 19, 2012 Easy. The 2+2 version has small rear occasional seats in the rear. The 2+0 version doesn't have these seats so is strictly a two-seater.
Phillip HolbrookJun 19, 2012 The only conclusion that I can draw from a 2+0 is that there is space behind the rear seats, whereas in a standard two seater there isn't. Best example I can think of is a Mustang or Camaro with the rear seats removed.
Phillip HolbrookJun 19, 2012 2+2 has bucket front an rear, a 4 seater has a bench rear that can accommodate 5 people in a pinch.
Bob JonesJun 19, 2012 I don't know, what's the difference between a 2+2 and a 4 seater?
Zachary HollopeterJun 19, 2012 I have known the difference between a 2+2 and a four seater, but what is the difference between a 2+0 and a 2 seater?
I would die for one
Vanquish sounds bad ass lol

i think the lamborghini gallardo lp570-4 super trofeo stradale is really long when you read it all out
I think they could have settled on 310 Vanquish, everyone knows its an Aston Martin.
Mercedes-benz sl65 amg black series is long.. Lamborghini murcialago lp-670 sv superveloce is long.. This is just fine.
The name is like six syllables.
I'm torn with the name because I liked the simplicity of DBS as the name.

I'm not sure if I like the name. They could have used "AM310" or "Vanquish" but not both, it's too long long IMO
