My friend, Barry Koper went to the L.A. Auto show and saw they had one of the two DB10's. This was an unannounced appearance. Below is what he wrote me.....

So for all you Bond Fans.... at the LA Auto Show this week is one of the two remaining Aston Martin DB 10's from SPECTRE, the other is in England on Tour ...very cool !!! make sure to pick up a free calendar cause it has a great photo of the DB 10 in it , on Display in the Concourse Room for Galpin Ford Motors.

I am lucky enough to have been invited by Aston Martin to view Bond's DB10 and DB5 at an event next week...
Can't wait!!

Went on Tuesday... It's a beauty, and the db5 model is cute, though galpin couldn't get the model to work ... 8-)
The db9 GT bond version is also worth a look, and they have the vanquish, v8 vantage and a gorgeous db6 mark 1....

You can also get up close and have a pic taken with the db10, which is easy to print and email.

Hats off to galpin.

Some pictures from the UK DB10 on Tour this week.
An excellent night with a talk from the stunt driver who drove the DB10 in SPECTRE.

For those in London, Harrods have a cool window display!!
Until the 28 th I think.

Is it only me, or does anyone else think that the DB10 is not as good-looking as its predecessors? I'm not saying it's ugly, it's just that until now new models generally looked better than the previous ones... This one doesn't.

I've grown to really like it. Didn't like it when it was first unveiled though. But the design has grown on me.

+1 - I still think it could have more rear overhang but after seeing it in reality I like it much more than before. (I would still rather take the C-X75 if I had to choose but they won't ask me anyway.)


A DB10 was shown last weekend at the Vienna Autoshow, and unlike the other luxury car makers Aston Martin allowed people to come behind the barrier. They also had a Vanquish S where it was possible to sit behind the wheel while the nerds took pictures of the DB10.







Yes, the nose can be made lower if you don't have to care for pesky details like a bumper with number plate housing or minimum headlight position.









Very nice details I hadn't noticed before, like the roof indentation and air outlets:





The DB10 is based on the Vantage S model, although it is wider, lower and has a 70 mm longer wheelbase. It is powered by a V8 engine with 420 HP which propels the car to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds.

Pfff, 4.7 seconds? 3.2 sounded more impressive...



And Jaguar Land Rover showed a Spectre Defender:






IL is Innsbruck-Land (Tyrol province) but the plate shows a Vienna crest - you wouldn't drive very long in Austria without someone noticing that the number plate is a fake. But the white rear plate of the DB10 or the Roma plates were just as unrealistic...

I still have mixed feelings, there is just too much stupid stuff with the car going on - first thing being the license plate which gives away it's name. No idea why they did that and it really bothers me.
