in Something For The Weekend

Aston Martin DBS Volante

Aston Martin DBS Volante

This is a new feature for Car Articles – but it’s something I hope you’ll warm to.  Basically, every so often I’ll stick up something rather special – a car that you’d love to have.  Indeed, it would be ’something for the weekend’.  In this pilot feature, the ’something’ in question is the Aston Martin DBS Volante.

Go on… Click the image.  I know you want to.  Look at those curves.  Look at the aggressive front end.  Oh my word.  Aston, you’ve done it again.  Now, I just need to save my pennies for a few hundred more years… Hope you enjoy as much as I do!

I love that thing. I’d need it in a different colour though. Champagne metallic grey or something…

An awsome car, very special indeed and a great example of a British car brand doing what British car brands should be doing… setting benchmarks.

I do wonder if the Brand however falls over in consideration to the cost of ownership and how there is a felling that current social trends are making what was a more subtle high-end sports car appear like a crude statement.

I was talking with a previous owner who said he loved the car but the first services was the price of a new mid range family car.

Still, I would certainly love to have one, i’m just not sure if i’d tell anyone!

Hi- your right an awesome car!

I had a tour around the AM factory, blew me away.
One day I would love a car like that…until then-keep dreaming!

Hi Nick,

How did you get that factory tour? I’d love to go on one.

Man i would love to have that tour too.

Thanks for the article MrB

But Dan i agree with you – awesome. Is the mid-price thing the same as with jaguar? If we see cheap Astons all over the place, like Jags and Jag police-cars, that must kill the brand.

Keep up the good work

In reply, I think what Dan was referring to was the types of ‘undesirable’ buying such cars. At one time, people behind the wheel of stylish motors such as Jags and Astons were cool – now you’re just as likely to see a footballer opening the door. At the end of the day though, few marques can choose their customer (though I know Bristol did until not too long ago).
