    First Aston DBS in The USA

    Where? Texas.

    Yes, it has euro plates - looks to be a dealer demonstrator.

    saw this car in Chicago, IL, our local dealer was doing an unveiling of the DBS. so, it appears that it may be a showcar hitting the circuits.

    3259 miles? Has got to be a press/show car.

    Quite counter-cyclical

    I like AMs very much, but the DBS... well, it's so Un-Aston, it lacks class.
    Just note the clear rear lights, they look cheap like from a kit car.

    Gorgeous car. I saw one at the auto show and it really drew a crowd. You really need to see it in person, it really has a presence to it.

    This is a North American car for sure, as it has those bloody reflectors on it

    I've been hearing this sold out for 2 years stuff since this car was announced, although I don't know what the case is in Europe, I bet there is a strong possibility you can call deaerlships in the States and secure one without a problem.
