The answer is no. It closely resembles the attractive DBX. It does not really change everything. Turn up the boost, tighten the suspension, different final drive ratio, more wheel and tire and what? 707, isn't that an old airplane? We've had Vantage S V12, Vanquish S V12, DB11 V12, DBS V12, Vulcan V12s, Valkyrie V12, etc. so the latest and baddest Aston SUV is a Mercedes V-8 with a bunch of boost? And this is supposed to be extraordinary? You have not hit the mark. Not in design or cache. Every other car on the road has a 4. 0 litre MB v-8 in it. Pease tell me that there is a special S version about to be introduced which is a Thank you God Aston V12. Then you have something to go up against the new Ferrari V12 suv and can will have everyone listening to the music.

The engineering was never the problem with the DBX, but I do question why they needed to do a massively powerful version so soon after launch? Have sales been so bad that Merc Man Tobias Moers can only think stick more power in? Just as he did back at Merc to ugly cars? And that's really the problem with Aston - their designer Reichman can't design a beautiful car. His designs are all over the place, a mess. Even the seats in this look like off-cuts from a cheap tracksuit. To save Aston Martin you need to sack Reichman.

Yay! More Steve - even if it is in a hyper fast bus. The sad thing is, in watching Mr Sutcliffe's superb reviews, it does feel like a final lap of honour as manufacturers fire out their apex combustion engined finery. A simply unimaginable hole will be left soon, when we stop talking about engine characteristics and transmission quality and are left with the metrics of performance, times around a track etc to light our fires. These are videos to savour and cherish.

I just don-t -get - this car. Ima huge fan of the Cupra Formentor and the Uris but for me this Aston doesn-t astonish or take my breathe away what-s so ever.
In fact during this video, at a distance if the Ford logo appeared would you be shocked?
I know it-s subjective so don-t attack me but I just cold.
Also, why was this the last Bond car? Surely working model or 5 could have been made to fit the movie production.

This is a perfect example why the current auto industry needs to die. Within 10 years, Tesla has become the most innovative car company with fast innovation and focus on technology. Remember what Apple did to Nokia and Blackberry.

Imagine if they put this much effort into a sedan, with a hatch rear and folding rear seats. Something actually good looking and desirable, with seating for 4-5 people and a low centre of gravity.

So it gets Steve's stamp of approval, but are you convinced by a 697bhp Aston Martin SUV? Let as know, and as ever, thanks for watching - more Sutcliffe videos to come! -

More Steve Sutcliffe please. The 707 looks better than the standard DBX. It would look even better with standard body colored roof and roof rail delete.

Aston Martin needs to come back to reality. Electric cars are much more powerful and efficient with an mpg you cannot even dream of.

Great, another overpowered SUV. Let's hope that Aston can finally register a profit at least and that it'll make people forget about the Valkyrie.
