Thumbs up Aston Martin DB12 S

The S stands for "Spectacular"! Damn this is so f***** sexy.

File under ridiculously good looking.

Apparently it’s a very good drive too with the small changes adding up to more than the sum of their parts.

Aston keeps crushing it but I still can't buy one because knowing how much it depreciates will make me want to kill myself. They will be sweet when they're $100k in a few years.

Definitely my “if money was not a factor” car. Vantage S, Vanquish, I’d even settle for a Valhalla…I’m not picky. I could never get tired of looking at anything that comes from that company.

My DBX was my first Aston... I'll have to drive one of these.


I'd say aston is the definition of IYKYK

Its too bad they dont hold their value like the Italian stuff does. Lotus & McLaren has(mostly) the same problem. This is just as exotic and cool as any Lambo, IMO.

Ironically, head to your local cars & coffee and Lambos are becoming very common now. Oh look, a Skittle colored Huracan or Aventador revving endlessly for 5 straight hours. No Aston's in site though...

I think the DB 12 had some disappointed buyers and AM listened. Or maybe it was the plan all along. Whatever...

Definitely making the sexiest cars, as they have been doing for a long time. A doglegless manual in the new Vantage would be choice but doubtful.

Driving starts at 4:10

They have done a great job of avoiding silly cuts and slashes on the car, their designs FLOW. Such a shame they had to go all turbo, really wish they had the NA V8 and V12s

Such a gorgeous car. Definitely a wish list marque for me. Would love to own one if they bring a manual to market.

That's what the VANQUISH is for. ✅

If they held their value significantly better, i would buy this one instantly, but dont feel like throwing away 80 000€ for having a car lets say for 2-3 years...
Other than that, Aston is the most beautiful car brand for me, most of their models are extraordinarly beautiful

I don't care how much it depreciates. It is simply put, one of the most gorgeous vehicles on earth. And has been and will continue to be. Another thing... They are rare to see.

The Aston's are seemingly universally praised as gorgeous. Just imagine if the Aston design team was suddenly hired by BMW for the next gen M cars!
