It's a pity that the design is the only good thing about this car. By all accounts, it shouldn't cost more than 200K dollars, because it's just a Mercedes with a different design. At the same time, Aston Martin is in many ways inferior to Mercedes. Especially if it breaks down or gets into an accident...

That moment you realize AutoTrader has surpassed Top Gear in both production quality and their presenters. Love having you back, Rory. Reviews like this make me glad you are no longer with the disgrace that is left after the BBC ruined Top Gear forever. Now we all get to enjoy what you are truly capable of.

their crew, pre and post production, are excellent for the short video segment.. Rory is great as he can cross cultures easily, doesnt try to be anything other than himself.. even with what Im sure are pre production scripts etc. the facial expressions, the passion, the joy or concern all come thru naturally..

Some might overlook the importance of beauty in a car but it is truly very important, since i can’t afford a supercar i notice it with motorcycles, to look at you vehicle in the garage or parked outside the coffee shop and to think “what a piece of art, I’m so proud of my vehicle” really fills one’s soul

The subtle changes to design makes this a beautiful car over the DB11. Previously, I found the DBS (2008 to 12) and Vanquish (pre 2018) to be stunning. The DB12 is the design evolution (interior and exterior) that Aston Martin needed. Rory's review was top notch as usual.

It’s strange when I first saw the silhouette of the DB12 I thought it looked like the demon love child of a Jag and a modern mustang, looks far elegant in the flesh.

Rory, you've got what I call a dream job, mate. And you're quite great at it. Although this DB12 is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever laid my eyes on but I feel it looks like what a DB11 707 would've looked like if it existed. Kinda like what AM did with the interiors of DB11 & DBS Superleggera. But the interior is quite a big step for AM. I'm sure most of AM's fans were slightly put off by their interiors but this one --- they really went to town 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 I almost ordered this car until I noticed there's only one cup holder for the front occupants. Well, I'll stick to my 20 y/o Opel Astra then 😀
