I just saw a new AM V8 up close the other day, and visually it looked as high quality as any car I'd ever seen.

They should bring out an 'S' variant of the DB9, it is far too nice a car to only be offered in one (two- volante) flavors. Ultimately it is definitely more of a big GT than a sports car, although I imagine that is exactly what most Aston buyers are looking for.

Those are gorgeous cars, for sure. I'd love to have one as a daily driver or something - I don't care too much about having a rock hard suspension if I'm just going to and from work.

By the way, I'd have worn a tuxedo when I dropped it off.

What'd your boss buy to replace the DB9?

Audi S8.

Not really a replacement. more of a somewhat fun daily driver.

I don't care to drive a six figure car to work, either!

Between worrying about scratches/door dings, birds shitting on it, and what co-workers would think about driving such an expensive car, it wouldn't be worth it.
