"I mean I think it's un-mistakenly an aston martin"
… looks like a mazda to me! lol
FINALLY – back to a real manual transmission option. Too bad it's not a real Aston Martin engine.
Look at all this diversity, wow, so stunning and brave.
Trade you for my old sports car, you may not get the better end of the deal. LOVE IT !!!!
Miss Schwab sounds like a sales rep that made her way up the chain through sales and marketing but is not familiar with the brand and pedigree let alone cars
19:25 nice editing to include the Harley ha.
I am an Aston Martin and Jaguar fan, but I do not find this car attractive and I am disappointed they are using a Mercedes powerplant. Jaguar produces a more than suitable V8 if they must source an engine. The trend for black wheels on cars reminds me of men with black nail varnish on their fingernails or wearing Crocks with a suit. Just like current Jaguar saloon styling by Tata, this Aston Martin's styling leaves me cold. I am certain these cars perform well as do modern Jaguars, but they just don't look as special as they used too. Yes, cars DO NEED some brightwork on them. And now for my "sexist" comment. I spent over 30 years in the auto industry and while I am pleased women are included in management I do not understand this trend of women CEOs. Granted there have been many male disastrous CEOs such as Roger Smith and Bob Eaton (both of GM pedigree) I find trends motivated by political correctness disturbing.
Yes, I love Jay's show, his enthusiasm for the automobile and especially his preservation and curatorship of wonderful and important automotive history.
Are we sure she's employed with the company?
Smaller then a 911 yet it weighs 200lbs more. 911 GT3 RS makes 520HP out of a naturally aspirated six cylinder whereas the Vantage with a turbocharged V8 makes 503HP. While I have always loved the curves of the Vantage I think they need to up their game even further if they want to compete with Porsche in the performance realm.
Well she knew what the sensor for the windshield wipers was… so theres that
