Not good at all for a car costing 60% more than the Turbo. Maybe if James Bond was behind the wheel it could be faster.
You cant discount the DB9s style and ambience.
You are right in a way.It's all a matter of priorities like most things in life.

Yes, but the car is strictly limited craft production vehicle and the styling inside and out is a work of art.
Sometimes a little cost bump is justified. But that's up to you. Cost is what you pay, value is what you get.

For this kind of money wouldn't you rather be in a Ferrari 599 though? It has all the above advantages plus performance to match. No one could argue with you about your choice.

While I do agree with you, I sincerely doubt that anyone who can afford a DBS actually cares about who agrees or doesn't agree with them

Actually, no. I think the 599 is not very attractive. A very good car, yes - but for some reason, when I see it in profile I see a C5/C6 Corvette. I don't want to think Corvette after I stroked a $300K+ check.
And once you get into this sort of stratospheric price range, performance becomes irrelevant -- it's more an emotional/stylistic statement for 85% of the buyers because only 15% will ever fully (or have the skill to) exploit the extra performance benefits.

Gorgeous car, there is nothing I don't like about this car. Performance wise it is close to the TT while off the line the TT will beat it. Nevertheless they are 2 different class of cars. The DBS will depreciate more than the TT but one who can afford the $275K Sticker should not care
