Looks really good - I'll take mine with a traditional box though. Video didn't show us much we weren't already familiar with; I would have much preferred he opened the trunk and showed the space with the top down, as well as the speed of the top deployment. And, what's with him saying 'integrated' in reference to all the body details? What's the alternative, supergluing them on prior to shooting the video?

When considering current production GT's and sports cars, you'd be crazy not to throw the DBS into the mix with the leaders. I lust for that car as much as a Scuderia or LP 560.

I couldn't help but notice that when he sat in the car, it looked like he was looking straight into the top bar of the windscreen frame. He looks like a pretty tall fella, and maybe the seat isn't positioned for him, but still...
What I really would like to see in the DBS Volante is the bamboo dash that you could have in a DB9. Love it. Not loving the colour of this particualar example though, and would you please colour-coordinate that damn steering wheel!
I'm still in love though!

Absolutely beautiful! If I could afford one, I probably wouldn't go for that exterior color but I love the interior color! Awesome looking car, thanks for sharing.

The colour isnt bad, I would love to see it on the road but not own it in that colour assuming that with time I'd get bored of it.

black with that interior color would be awesome. Nice car but these days the car will be worth 50% less next year at best.

a 2009 Auto gearbox DBS coupe with only 1,200 km is around 5-10 % more expensive than a "New" DB9. Thats only in year one, so estimated to badly depreciate.
