    I watched Desperate housewives last night and in the episode one of the wives drove the brand new DB9 Volante, the convertible.
    The car is breathtakingly beautiful, gorgeous, has huge presence and absolute class. Totally blew me away.

    Re: Aston DBS - First look

    I'm loving it!! But all of the astons look so similar from the front, I'll have trouble distinguishing this one from the DB9!

    What is the difference between DBS and new v8 Vantage? They certainly look similar.

    I think this is a lighter, more powerful version of the Vantage...

    V8 Vantage ? DB9 I'd say.
    There were some speculations about a sharper version of the DB9 with more than 500bhp. This may be it.

    Re: Aston DBS - First look

    got to be some sort of photoshop - DB9 lights with the rear end and window profile of the vantage. Looks a little odd to me - like a dodgy afermarket bodykit. Also reckon it has too many vents and louvres at the front.

    Re: Aston DBS - First look

    I saw a brand new DB9 Volante (convertible) in Pasadena with the top down, it was gorgeous. It draws more attention than the P-Cars but while I like to have an AM in my garage too, Porches just appeal to me differently. Good or bad I have always been partial towards Porsches. Since I was a little kid, I have liked and disliked all kinds of cars but stayed faithful to PORCHES

    I know.. the front end looks like a DB9, but the rear looks
    much more like a vantage. Look at the lights and the actual shape of the end

    Re: Aston DBS - First look

    WOW... those Astons are looking stunning. Unfortunatley the whole technic doesnt go with the sporty look. I drove the DB9 and it felt like an old Mercedes S600 Coupe (not a new one!). So, lots of power, but not that handy. Tranni is not that what it should be alike.

    Re: Aston DBS - First look

    See... the vantages lights taper narrower at the end like the DBS, while the DB9's doesnt. The DBS looks to small to be a DB9 also...
