    I'd say that's pretty accurate. Aston has managed to produce a supercar range that looks cool without looking too ostentatious, like the Ferraris and Lamborghinis do.
    I still think I'd rather have a supercharged XKR for less than half the price...

    that red DBS looks stunning, if i could get that car it would be that color. Ill bet entourage's publicity of this vehicle along with bond had a small part with the results
