I don't like it... Probably because I love the Forza 4 trailer featuring Jeremy Clarkson and the pre-lift Aston DB9 and I want it to stay as it is without modifying...
I quite liked that. Good work even if it's not the proper trailer. I think it showed that the white cat could be used appropriately without the film becoming a pastiche.

The car does look a bit better in motion. But still not F-Type levels yet.

Seeing it move has made it slightly worse for me. - The DB10 looks bloated and fat! I think the fact the lights are proportionally smaller and the front grill bigger and wider strengthens that perception. Even the sound of the engine (there is a lot of ambient noise) didn't improve things.
In Bristol today I say another Aston, this one with a matted black body. Beautiful car but I was puzzled that it had no ID badges on it to identify the model type? Only the trademark AM wings. Potentially a Vantage, or maybe a DB9? Beautiful, beautiful car.
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

Hey folks, while I was in the Co-Operative the other day I spotted an article about the the DB10 in the current copy of Auto Express. It includes a small Q &A with Dr Andy Palmer CEO of Aston Martin. It also contains some speculation about other vehicles in the film...
So it appears it has a V12 engine, not a V8 as it was speculated. Also - 8 used in the movie, so they leave one for the Aston Martin museum and one for showing off at the premiere night probably. It's a shame we will never witness the car on the road - the DBS will still remain my life purpose in that case!
I agree AM007, but you sold yours! How could you do that? One of the three ultimate supercars made real, (the other two are the real versions of K.I.T.T. and FAB1 as was) and you sold it!

My bad. - Essentially yes. This could be a case of mistaken identity on my part, but I was thinking of a certain Reg plate from a couple of years ago.

Never had that reg. Did have A007AML on it tho for a while.
No worries ! And IS an awesome machine. Better (IMO) than the Vanquish...

I never had an Aston but I bet it is better than a Vanquish, mainly because it has a working reverse gear ) (if you're talking about the "original" Vanquish of course).
Have you ever driven a DB5? I wonder what it's like, especially with some modern parts from Aston under the hood.
IMO the 2002 Vanquish is still my favourite modern aston. The latest offerings just seem a bit samey.
I was quite surprised that the V12 vanquish never really took off or got much said about it. Quite a technological acheivement to say the least.
It was / is a fabulous car. I drove one at an Aston gathering. Unfortunately the auto ruined the cars glory so much I couldnt get past it and "live" with the brilliant car behind the box...
DB5 - I wish. I was asked by Aston to take the DBS to one of their centenary events, but couldnt get out of work. And may have managed to get behind the DB5 wheel... Hey ho
Im sure its similar to the Ducati thing, way better cars out there but I bet its an occasion everytime you see it / clean it / drive it...
That rear end shot of the Aston is quite a good angle for that car. I like the way the spoiler integrates into the deck lid, and the detail on the roof.
Sorry if this has been already mentioned but there is an awesome article on TopGear back from December describing the car pretty well, I genuinly got pumped after reading this.

EDIT. Original link unavailable. New link to pics at James Bond Brasil, which is run by AJB member, Marketto007.

EDIT: found the pictures on two separate sites, just google it. The Jaguar looks pretty dirty ;P
It looks like the successor to the XJ220.
I have just edited my post above (number 82) to include a new link to the pics, which I am pretty certain will be more reliable. Enjoy.
An investment and kept under covers in a large barn for his toys.
Beautiful looking car.
