How about Casino Royale exterior with red leather and black alacantra in the centre of the seats, contrasting stitching etc.

Casino Royale will look great with black leather and alcantara sports seats as on demo car

Sounds really good, but I think I have my heart set on a pearl white. I had a look at their interior samples. The only red they have is "Chaplan Red" - which is more burgundy in colour than red. So they are going to find out from the factory if I can have a custom red made for the vehicle.

Morning frost white look stunning on DBS and I am sure that it will look simply amazing

And let's face it, nobody buys an Aston for any other reason than the way it looks.
You're not! Being a big fan of proportion, the Vantage doesn't have it as well as the DB. I like the Vantage but it appears like a squished version of the bigger cars. V12 is probably too much engine for it and the high PO V8 is plenty.

I agree. I think a V8 suits that car better. DBS is one of my favorite cars, so I would take it over any other aston anyday. I'm going to start looking into getting one but I don't know if I should wait for the new ones or just stick with a 6 speed tranny. I want to get to drive both first.

You probably know it's available in 6-manual and auto right now, so I'm a bit confused in what you mean by "wait for the new ones". Since their auto isn't a true manual like Porsche, Ferrari and BMW, not much justification unless someone couldn't drive a stick and liked the car. You can get into a slightly used one shortly for just on the other side of 175K wholesale, probably not in CA.
