@princepersia1 lol, how is a Ferrari 599 stupid and retarted? The ferrari would still beat that aston with the 550 hp kit. The ferrari california can beat a DBS. Thats your preference to take the DBS. Thats a no brainer for me to take the 599.

Well kids are stupid and retarded, they will never own either of them so who gives a shit. By the way no one cares what kinds think, its a matter of intelligent, if you’re smart you go with the Aston and get that 550hp kit they sell for it OR if you’re ignorant you go with the Ferrari because it’s um…………….stupid and retarded.

@princepersia1 599 is faster and its a ferrari. Kids dont dream about having an aston marin, they dream about driving a ferrari. No question i take the 599. Thats my opinion.

How can you take the 599 over this?
May 20th, 2010 at 6:50 pm
@loudblazer I would… This is pure elegance, Ferrari is more for showoff imo
May 20th, 2010 at 7:34 pm
Would anybody take this over a Ferrari 599? Not me!

@zaking Thats the spirit!

@jestsumguy Saw one at the Toronto Autoshow.
Tons of beautiful cars there but the DBS was by far the most beautiful, no contest.

this is sex!

@FrannoBaz I don’t think it was cold.
May 20th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
I love his car reviews! Better driving than Clarkson, just as entertaining and very informative.
May 20th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
@FrannoBaz I know I thought that at first as well but like he probably left the car running for a while to warm it up before he went for a drive in it……….hopefully
May 20th, 2010 at 11:09 pm
Thats right, Chris. Rev the nuts off it on a cold engine
May 20th, 2010 at 11:09 pm
God, can you imagine having a drink with this guy in the pub, you’d be trying to kill yourself with a packet of crisps after 20 seconds… Cant we just have 6.41 mins of the exhaust noise next time!!!! No one cares about the numbers, you would buy this car because it could scare the knickers off any gal from a mile away!!

3:39 – 3:46 = jizz in pants

i’m buying one this weekend …. after i win the lottery

@jestsumguy
thank you for showing what the price is instead of the pond shit and this guy throws out way to many faces..just lost me
May 21st, 2010 at 2:00 am
that sound from the exhaust is breathtaking!
May 21st, 2010 at 2:06 am
this looks waaay better than the 599
May 21st, 2010 at 2:53 am
Hey the console is way better than the DB9 with the Mondeo console and Volvo Key!
May 21st, 2010 at 3:00 am
There’s too much Chris Harris talking, should show more of the car while spouting off those numbers.
May 21st, 2010 at 3:44 am
I LOVE the DBS! I want one so bad. Most beautiful car I’ve ever seen. Wish I had $300,000
.

Your absolutely correct. I suppose i was just speaking from my view point as one who rides around in a 92′ Civic, so rest assured, had i the opportunity to ride in something like this, i’d be all smiles. ;D

@fi7thy, this is their job! They are like film critics only with cars. They are meant to tell us about the faults with supercars, as we will never really get a cahnce to find them for ourselves. If someone like Chris Harris or Jeremy Clarkson did a review with them in the car going wow! constantly, it wouldnt be a very good review.

DB9 base price here in Queensland is $276K, tack another $65K on for a DBS.. that says ouch… mind you the local dealer here said he sold 6 (!!!) DB9’s and DBS last June alone..
What money crisis?
Frugal me would settle for a DB9, might have bit of a sook about it, but…
