The video shows James Bond on the Nav-screen. It's a pretty sexy 4 door, if I were in the market for one...

Lovely car but it seems to have lost some of its AM character especially around the redesigned front grill/bonnet.

You can't fit passengers in the back of an Aston anyway, we'll, not unless they have no legs
I'm not to struck on the look if I'm honest. I much prefer the Vantage or the DBS.

Very nice. I think the two door looks better, but the four door is still a very good looking car.

Has there been so many crashes with pedestrians that the front end needed to be designed around it? Why not just wrap it in bubble wrap?

The 4 door chassis is stiffer...something you'd like while cornering.

I still prefer the two-door models. Especially the DB9 given how much it has depreciated (a nice used one can run around $70k). This is nice though. The increase in power was desperately needed, as I couldn't imagine buying a $200k+ car that can't do 60 in under 5 seconds...
