Red DBS at my dealer

Our dealer had that yellow DBS last year, now it seems they have their next out of the ordinary colour. Was there yesterday to get one of the cars serviced and saw this. I must say I rather like it!

I haven't seen a color that I thought the DBS looked bad in. Still, I would prefer mine in a shade of gray, blue, or silver.

Have you driven the DBS, Mike? Impressions?

Looks good in red, but the new V12 Vantage is the prize Aston at the moment imho.
Any more updates on the Vantage? ETA?
If I were you I wouldn't be able to sleep at night with the anticipation of that arriving lol

I was expecting the darker metallic red I've seen pics of. This looks a lot like Ferrari's Rosso Corsa or perhaps Rosso Scuderia. I'm guessing this was a paint-to-sample deal. In any case, it looks pretty good but I'd probably choose something from Aston's already wonderful pallet of colors.

Soo, which one would you choose?: Green, green, green, green, green, grey, white or black?

Yes, I got to drive the DBS last year already. I think I posted a short review somewhere on TS.

It's a great car overall and feels tonnes better than the DB9. Everything feeling and sensation has been sharpened. I just feel bad for the owners since the V12 Vantage came out. Although the DBS is more "GT" orientated than the V12 Vantage, having the same power output must be upsetting!

My car went into build 2-3 weeks ago, I might even take delivery end of August. Let's wait and see
