Aston Martin DB9
http://www.supercars.net/cars/2004@$Aston%20Martin@$DB9g.html
The Aston Martin DB9, the first car to be produced at the company's modern and recently completed facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire, is making its world debut at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show on Tuesday, 9th September.
I think its look is perfect... may have to consider changing my nick now

it looks wonderful, haha
i wonder if they will keep the DB7 in their lineup or they will replace it with the DB9?
just found out from the link above:
The DB9 will replace the current DB7 which finishes production at the end of 2003.

DB9 is in perfect size and should be a great car but it looks too much like a vanquish.I`v seen few artist impressions and those looked better.

Really great car..better looking than a Vanquish, more powerful and with a manual gearbox!GREAT! IMO is too heavy, but the rear is a masterpiece

When I saw the spy-shots of the camouflaged car I thought it was a bit long. But now I've seen the pictures of the real thing and it looks great. A wothy successor of the DB7 IMO.
I love the rear end too. I always thought that was the DB7s weakest spot. On the DB9 the AMV8-look works perfectly.

BTW, Gaydon?! :shock: Couldn't they have found a better sounding place?
Is pink upholstery optional or standard? Will there be a CC version? Will the DB9 Volante's codename be Hairdressers Delight? Will the DB9's tailpipes be wide enough?
So many questions...

A very british car. Not that there is anything wrong with that, if you like to be cuddled in plush leather and shiney wood. The DB7 has an amazing exhaust note.

I like the look more than the DB7. It has a more down to business look that the db7 didn't.

When the AM V8 will be out, I think will be even better the this one to look at, and maybe, if it'll be lighter, even to drive

The lads from Aston Martin have done it again...I thought that no car in the world will ever match the beauty of the Vanquish, they come up with the DB9.
Damn ! When will they stop ? I'm running out of wall space to put my posters up.
