Problem with Aston is at the end of the day when you look past their beautiful cars, the brand just isn't offering much else. They feel like super pretty but super expensive Mercedes AMG models. Some won't mind (tbh, I don't, but I can see people who are capable of forking out the dollars to buy one of their cars wanting something more bespoke. They also depreciate like hell, which is another disincentive to buy one.

I think there is a factual mistake at the start. This is not the first Vanquish with a transaxle or with the bonded aluminium construction. Even back with the 1st gen the construction techniques were analogous to today's cars. The 1st gen did have the gearbox mated to the engine but the AM310 2nd gen Vanquish, the last of the VH cars did have a transaxle.

While there are reservations about both cars; Ferrari = styling iffy ( especially the black accents front / rear / those raising spoilers, the interior too tecky ( not special. The Aston has far fewer = small boot / trunk, small fonts on screen. and that's all from reading reviews. I'd take the Aston on looks and feel food factor alone.

Bit of a lacklustre review tbh. Are road testers becoming so spoilt that given the keys to drive such a wonderful car they can do no more than summon the most basic of enthusiasm for it Jeez, it's one of the last great V12 Aston's we're ever likely to get - sound a bit more interested!

Autocar videos often feel more like it’s their articles just read out loud. When watching a video, it’d be great to have more visual engagement to go along with the narration, rather than it feeling like an article read out loud.

So Aston made a third sporty GT that looks similar and has a pretty much identical interior with the other two. it's a total mystery why their cars aren't selling well and they're losing $1. 8 million every day.

I saw Doug DeMuro say that he thought Aston should ditch their Gran Turismo identity and make a mid-engined V8 with a manual transmission. I agree with him. Astons have become too big and lumpy since the DB9.

That rear is the most terrible design in an Aston Martin in many years and a big step back from the almost flawless lines of the previous generation

AM finally making cars on the level of Ferrari. Last few models, DB12 / DBX770 / Valiant / V12 Vantage and now this, all truly special

Please fix the poor audio quality. Every Autocar video sounds muffled and inconsistent. Great video again though, as usual.
