Thing about what you are saying. This is an advert.

Same

I'll click on Harry before anyone short of Harris.

...exactly...to me Harry is number 1 for a well rounded honest review.

It was embargoed until Monday so all the KZfaqrs scheduled them to drop at midnight

I agree !!

You haven't seen his wife.

@@hughoxford8735 is it that bad?

@@hughoxford8735 is she beautiful?

@@hughoxford8735 Keep his wife’s name out of your mouth! 😆

Agree 100%..

Haha. I saw the notification and was like “Oh yeah!”.

Me too, it is a great car and looks great too, not like most expensive SUVs.

As far as cars in this segment go. This and the Macan are by far the best looking, utterly pointless but at least they look good.

Yeah, I hope it will bring a lot of money so that AM can finish the development of the Valkyrie ;-)

chappy2121 not pointless. These cars are bestsellers and keeping these companies alive. They also are engineered so well that they dont really have a handling “penalty” for an suv.

chappy2121 these will never outsell the range rover nice as they are

If you read old quality car magazines (like Harry's then), it was a term used quite often. Unfortunately most modern cars don't have that feeling (Volvo V60 is suprisingly good though), if you're lucky you're floating on a cloud but no feel whatsoever...

wow.what a meaningless uninteresting comment.you won.

What a strange choice, centre console would've been better

I thought it was in a strange place

The car has obviously been designed to be driven from the right-hand seat.

PhotoIsca Yes I considered that, but two things firstly they are switches, all they have to do is move them. Secondly which one would you choose to put so far away?

That’s an Aston Martin feature. Though I have to admit, the start button was where I went “that’s a stretch”.

sure with old tech merc infotainment and some cheap pieces

@@Anttihii 😊

@@Anttihii And no reclining rear seats. And HUD. With those two added with its current price, then yeah I'd say it is class leading

@@Londonistan_Calling the rear arm rest is also very weird,, this has some weird stuff really

Add reclining and adjustable rear seats even the Volvo XC90 has thaT, HUD, and the gear shifter from the first gen. Jaguar F-Pace (the rotating dial that disappeared in the console, I just loved having that in mine, and what a spectacular cool feature that Jaguar threw out... what were they thinking?) also I wonder whatr happened to the grab handles above the windows that are blanked out here? Is it the pesky yankees that don't allow it?

Yup, same here. You just immediately know if the car is the right one

Until you get a repair bill...

I've read once about what the Jaguar had called "The first 50 metres rule" that the first impression-like thing is also present between the man and the machine after these several metres of driving :)

@@ATX_Engineer People who buy new Astons don't even look at the repair bill and know the maintenance manager and salesman at their dealer by first name basis.

@@Trussme96 that's really great and all, but most first owners don't own astons after 30-40k miles.

"Better half"

if you subtract 1 you would be correct

that would be farmer Harry - he was trundling around his farm in it before the embargo ended

ayy lmao ayy lmao If you ignore the Middle East of course where most of their customers are.

By accident!

@@stephenvincent4706 dude. they have paved roads in the middle east. no one goes offroading in serious terrain with an aston martin. if they wanna do serious offroading theyve got more capable cars for that in the middle east.

@@McFly50 I thought of Porsche first, with the Macan and the Cayenne being the company's main sellers. Relatively speaking, I think the numbers of DBX sold will be much higher than other Aston models.

Especially if they do a hybrid v6 version. (New Mercedes engines) They’ll sell loads.

Me too. Top comment.

@@nl3712 Top comment? the cayenne came out nearly two decades before this, talk about being way, WAY late to the game. They will never sell in the numbers the cayenne has.

It wont, too little too late

It is and all of these types of cars, are a vulgar statement on how loaded you presently are.

That’s not that case with me as I bought an expensive car once and I can say I have learnt my lesson and will never do it again. A three year old car is the way forward for me from now on as in all honesty buying a new expensive car was a bloody stupid thing to do. It massaged the Ego for all of ten minutes until I realised what I bloody fool I was.

They are really VW Touaregs, technically not a bad thing and these things did save Porsche from bankruptcy. They sold loads of them with big margins toi. This has allowed Porsche to continue to be viable making 'real' Porsches. Every other manufacturer has now jumped on the same rather tasless bandwagon.

ugly, old tech, doesn't do anything exceptional. I've driven both the bentayga (v8) and the urus, not the aston martin but I don't see how it would be better. I don't even know who buys an Aston Martin, not just this, but any of their models.

I think what you're considering a 'sweet spot' is actually a car that fails to find its identity, much like the rest of Aston Martins' range right now. It's too big to be a sporty SUV like the Urus, too dated to be a truly luxurious car like the Bentley not to mention the obvious Mercedes switchgear inside and frankly I think it's one of the ugliest SUVs on sale at the moment. The fact that Aston can't make an SUV sell well shows that no matter what the enthusiasts think about AMs' design language at the moment, the people who actually buy these cars hate it. I mean for christs' sake, we've gone from Ian Callum and Henrik Fiskers' DB9, Vantage and Vanquish which oozed elegance and are still some of the most beautiful cars ever, to Marek Reichmann's portfolio of godawful designs.

Was thinking the same😂, just had 5 notifications from different channels at the same time

Same thing with mrjww uploaded 3 min after Harry

Happened the other day with the T50. A shame as I’m not going to watch all the reviews of the same car. It gets boring. For this one I shall be watching Harry and Carfection. Try to watch anyway, I despise SUVs.

Sparky Harry and Chris Harris, anyone else🥱😴

​@@firstnamesecondname5341I like Harris too. He said that he'd have preferred Aston to have made a panamera instead of a cayenne

@Matt S Titanic made 22 knots. There were surely trains and motorcycles capable of above 27mph in 1912

And we all now what happened to the Titanic

@Matt S You sound like a successful business man and great marketing strategist living in Monaco and you are managing a big trust in the Cayman or virgin islands. Am I right ? Come on don't disappoint me !

@Matt S Good idea. However, the British don't or didn't rather, sink ships. They threw the human cargo over board instead to secure a profit. O well as long the "right people" benefits of it.

@Matt S Clever you !

Do yourself a favour Evan, don't pick up a copy now. Its really lost its charm since Harry left.

I would have a snow scooter instead

And they have in 2024..

I've often thought it's surprising he doesn't have one of those in his collection.

@@ianbrade7754 to be honest, id forgotten about it but my timeline has been showing vids of them the past week, what a car!

I pick everything with 4 wheels over a bentayga.. I’ve driven it for a long weekend and not once did I park and gave it a second glance..

No contest - is there an uglier suv than Bentayga? Maybe the RR tank but otherwise I think not! AM looks pure class

Well if you like to be seen in a fiesta that would be a good idea

That's not really saying much 😂

@@richardadams3142 thinking about it, the churchill tank has more elegance than the rolls

It’s hard to believe that anything made in the past 10 years will ever be a classic. haha

They'll be museum pieces in 30 years as there will be no combustion engined cars on the road any more.

@@blairdrummond5043 The Aventador will go down as an icon of the 2010s. Hell, people are still buying it

@@ASLUHLUHCE The Aventador still looks as futuristic to me as it did when I discovered it as a young teenager like WOW

I reckon they'll be worthless. Remember everyone will be driving electrics and ICE cars will be banned from most cities, so classic ICE cars will be mostly about the driving experience and ICE SUVs will be a non-starter.

and covered several postcodes. I saw one once in the '80s with a blown tire on a motorway - and three 'Arabian' types in full garb looking a bit perplexed. I stopped and helped fix the spare on - after an hour and covered in grime I thought 'payday' but they all just climbed back inside and 'effed off.

@@nelsonclub7722 no way.. not even a thank you?😭

@@TosinSalisu Got that right. Not even a thank you or a gold bar - which to be honest I was sort of expecting - it has tainted my idea of that region in general - but hey ho

@@nelsonclub7722 As someone who's worked for Saudis for the past 7 years, I can confirm they are extremely stingy.

No good deed goes unpunished

I'd even go 80%.

Given the number of Jaguar F-pace, Audi Q's, Range Rover Sports etc around my neighborhood - none of which ever see any off-road at all, sadly, you are almost certainly right, or even underestimating things, because humans are fucking stupid.

Given the price, I’d say about 10%

@@Utahsaint Nah, you underestimate human stupidity - people will lease these things like hotcakes, then they will be resold for a fraction of their original RRP, to people too stupid to realize they are buying a crappy lemon they will end up regretting - and so the wastage cycle is continued. Fucking depressing IMO.

This thing is going to sell big time... then again in the secondary market for nothing because this thing is a completely bespoke machine.

Not many remember the Lagonda, it was a week long :) We do

Zio I’m old enough to remember many things people didn’t even know existed. ;-) 🤪🤪🤪

@@Yorkshiremadmick Perhaps we are old enough and we both remember :)

Your right mate! A bit steep

Bloody good cars Mazda's

CX-5 turbo? Luxury! (with a nod to Monty Python)

I have my John Deere tractor to go off-road, much more efficient

Put a different grille on it and it could be any other SUV (actually, with Ford nicking Aston's grille it looks like a Ford as it is). I wouldn't watch anybody else reviewing yet another blobby SUV that is considerably worse than a similar regular-shaped car would be. A 'status symbol' and nothing else. If you were interested in driving you'd by a car not an SUV, and if you actually needed an SUV (and had this kind of money) you'd buy a much cheaper SUV and a better car.

I don't like those things, either. Alas, they're quite successful - the Cayenne became the best selling Porsche. With this thing from Aston Martin, Ferrari/Maserati appear to be the last ones resisting the temptation (or am I overlooking something?).

@Andrew Frost Dang.... I did. Thanks all the same! I'd love to see all the Cullinans, Bentaygas, Urus and Levantes on the Rubicon Trail...

Yea, but at least I will look good going to the gun range.

@D B Brand mystique is bs anyway. At least the curtain has been pulled now.

No car manufacturer ever build suma that doesnt look simliar to suma else. Every car i have seen has design cue from suma else.

Guess what else category that the mold is unbreakable: the beloved wagons.

You didn't see Harry driving it around the countryside on his Harry's Farm videos then?

@@Zadster he's not a buyer though...

@@iconicon5642 😁😁😁😁 Just look at his garage... He can easily buy it

Arabs drive their fancy 4x4s quite hard in the desert in qatar etc and allot of wealthy people own land, farms etc.

@@felixarbable Posh people wouldn't be seen dead in a field with the Aston. They will buy the Land Rover for such menial tasks. This is a car for posing at polo and picking up the spawn from the private school.

Regulations may favour EVs, but people's buying habits certainly don't.....

I don't think lithium ion cells are what's gonna do for keeping Aston from going under but nice try.

@@mattevans4377 They're coming, the momentum is shifting. Model 3 was the top selling car in April. Lifetime ownership costs are already cheaper for a new EV and they're still getting cheaper/ better charge times and range. Slow charge times are outweighed by hone charging for regular short commutes (doesn't help everyone yet admitedly but solutions for flats/ terraces will come ) Scale manafacturers like VAG and Ford joining the party will keep pushing prices down and choice up. In ten years, I doubt many purely ICE cars will even be on sale as they just won't make sense. You also have to consider re-sale. You don't want to worry about whether your 3-5 year old car will be effectively obselete/ not allowed to enter cities etc or cost of ownership suddenly looks ridiculous. I'm not saying we're quite there yet, heading that way though and development of a whole new powertrain technology and the software to make it work competitively takes a lot of time and money. So AM and every other manafacturer need to get cracking or be left behind.

You must have forgotten about the Cygnet

@@tomraymond9795 You're high if you're comparing a Model 3 to a super luxury SUV. No one in the market for one cares that it doesn't have a battery for a the next decade. The volume for cars like this is less than 10K models over the course of it's life span. I think they'll be fine without all your futuristic claptrap tbh. xD

Er they’ve got one coming out in two years time.

why don't do a SUV? In fact many rich people still want to drive a SUV marqued supercar brand. They want a SUV which is damn powerful. Why not?

@@quocanh95nguyen its just not sporty , it has a very high CoG. SUV's are just not sports cars. they are for older rich show offs.

I agree. Just because everyones an SUV I don;'t think it suits all brands. IT's really bland to have everyone doing the same thing. A luxury box on wheels.

D B Gent Harry wouldn’t reply that way, would he?

Yes footballers wives are going to love it😆

Precisely. And Pony club members. Who cares - if it saves Aston then thats a good thing right?

@Viktor Sligo The Valkyrie and my impending lottery win?

Luddites, they play up everywhere!

One that’s irrelevant. Two, Land Rover have been doing it with the Range Rover for 50 years....

...and where is Saab right now? I guess they shouldn’t have spent the money on it, they might’ve survived 😂

Francesco Di Giuseppe exactly!!! But the luddites will always see it differently....

TheBTG88 so because a car company that no longer exists did it 40 years ago nobody else can? What a stupid idea.

DB11 is not exactly beautiful, but this is awful. Aston Martin has designed classic cars since forever, this here is embarrassment.
