Leuff Spot on. Give it another 10 years and an Aston Martin, BMW, Mercedes, Honda, Kia... all will have the same angles and edges that could have been drawn by the same hand (with a computer, not a pencil). It's almost as if they've all read the same American report that explains "what people want"...
Every Aston from that generation, bar the Cygnet was an absolute work of art as opposed to the just, good looking "trendy" Astons from this generation. Like the last gen was truly something of a true to form hand crafted classic timepiece, where as the new ones are more like generic smartwatches and not even great ones at that.
To be honest I'd rather a Bond edition be the DBS as seen in Casino Royale with the interior as it was in the movie complete with rear fire extinguisher. Maybe a subtle 007 logo, or just the gun barrel motif somewhere to signify what it is. Db9 still stunning, more so than the current range.
@@craigdixon4625 doesn't need the bond but is very just by being a dbs. I think it was made first for the movie specifically then produced for the public
I have heard the same visibility criticism from other TH-camrs regarding Aston Martin. Visibility is so important. I don't know how Aston can overlook it.
I loved my 2009 DB9, this looks very nice too. Absolutely crushed the 355 Ferrari that I'd previously been running - even like the 007 badges, especially as I had M16 TGC at the time on my own car ;-) ...really not sure about the associated watch, even if it did come with a real laser cutter, wouldn't want it - am a Breitling or Tag Heuer man myself ! Good video JayEmm, brings back some very nice memories.Keep up the great content
Loved the Virage, almost bought one. Actually saw a DB9 yesterday in this same silver and it's really a great color, even my brother commented more Astons should be in this silver. He really does drive it, well done. 👏
@@user-nt4nq3wc8x Basically but a little different, I thought it looked better, to this day it's still my favorite Aston Martin, plus I love the name. One of my colleagues got a DB11 a few weeks ago in black which I think was a mistake, really doesn't do the car justice, the silvers and grays are the best colors for Aston Martins and of course green.
@@venom5809 I agree, silver/grey fits the cars best. Although dark blue and dark green is also very nice. My favorite Aston will always be a manual DBS in the casino royale spec.
Not so much a fan of the bond edition or last versions but say around 2013 facelift change that had that nice boot flick with the button fest dash... Thatll do. In my opinion the best looking car made... Ever. Yes you have e-types etc but for my generation this is the one. Stunner.
Thanks James Signed up to the newsletter. Never owned a Aston Martin but it’s something I’d quite like to try! Probably a AMV8 thou as opposed to a DB9. One a competition for writing a story “love your car”. Prize was an Aston Martin experience 🙄 Basically blasting an auto around an airfield! Not great but I’ve driven a couple more since then and very enjoyable. Ending music 🎧 is the muts nuts 🥜
Yes true that. But aston wanted to upsell the DBS at prices that you could get hypercars. And not being good at supercar playing field against corvettes. Audi R8's, Carrera GT's And Aventadors it was a tough sell because DBS still at its core was best at sporty Grand touring car. not rear and scary supercar norms. So for the more realisticly priced and selling db9 getting an uplift was still a win aswell to DBS standarts.
Thanks Jay is Ever very helpful if I ever win the lottery this will be one of the astons ide think of. Anything I find a bit of a letdown there's no tyre shredders to get rid of those annoying reps trying to overtake you on the motorway👍🤣
I gotta say, that new Aston Martin Victor has got to be one of the prettiest cars I've ever seen... Ya'll gotta peep that thing. And it's a manual... Oh god...
Tom Cole AM also put a 3m wrap on the front etc, I had a few small pieces changed out here this year in Canada and the paint is still perfect. I highly recommend if anyone can find them to get one their awesome to drive. A little pricey to maintain oil change 15 liters of oil at 22$ per liter 0W-40 synthetic 😂
The only problem with this particular car is that other people are going to see those Bond emblems and think to themselves 'oh dear, he's pretending to be James Bond, bless him' or words to the effect. That's not a great look. Which is a shame, because I bet this car is absolutely brilliant.
Though James Bond in the books owned a modified Bentley (that was the car damaged in the hijacking scene in Casino Royal). He did drive a pool Aston Martin DB2 MkIII (Ian Flemming incorrectly called it a DBIII) in Goldfinger as it suited his cover of a well heeled Gentleman driving through Europe. From what I remember it was equipped with an Audible tracker so Bond could shadow Goldfinger's Rolls without being seen. When time came to do the film they simply used the lastest Aston of the time.
I think you are right about the instruments typeface, looks like the digits are now italics style. Pity about the seats. The car is so much better looking than the new Vantage.
Great Video and funny too! Great exterior shots. The type face on the dials is on the One-77. Have you ever driven a Rapide? I think it would be good comparison to your 550 Maranello.
Bond actually did drive an Aston DB3 in the Goldfinger novel, but like the movies, it's for the mission and he doesn't actually own it. His personal car is a 1930 Blower Bentley 4½ Litre.
I think there’s no denying that cars at the end of their life cycle are best as they became better & better over the years. Problem is that a lot of people want the latest car and new style. But true enthusiasts probably pick a car just before the successor.
It was created to celebrate 50 years of AML working with the Bond film makers, Eon Productions (and of course to help the run out of the DB9 model). The film Spectre was released in Oct as these cars left the factory in Nov 2015, using the 'Spectre Silver' colour that was supposedly unique to Bond's car in the film, the DB10.
@@petrolheadswelcome6434 I know exactly what you mean. It's been chaos during the day lately. I'm glad to hear you've managed to get to enjoy it though. Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to see you roll through.
Lovely car, though I would prefer the deletion of the '007' plaques on the wings. There really is no need for them, as part of the appeal of an AstonMartin DB9 is its under stated nature. Also, I have to disagree about the seats being uncomfortable, perhaps your body shape does not gel with the beautifully sculptured and supportive shape of the DB9's seats. For me the first generation cars look better (personal preference obviously) as to me the second gen cars look like they are trying to draw attention to themselves. However, with the current trend for aggressive looking cars they are probably more 'on trend'. Either way if you are lucky enough to drive a DB9 you will have a wonderful experience.
The tone of this review is excellent. You evolved from enthusiast to true motoring journalist (enthusiast can still live in there) a while ago, but a few recent vids seemed to have lost your 'laid-back' character. Just a sliver too much of the actor's performance, if I may be so bold. Great balance here. Keep up the good work!
after watching your videos with mclaren problems, i have two questions: how reliable is this (considering its british) and how fast its depreciating. mclaren has "special versions" aswell. db9 is beautiful
i thought EON productions approached Jaguar for some free E-types which they were told to buy them. So they approached Aston who did give them the not for resale prototype for free. So Jaguar missed out on some serious marketing .Although in the books the Bentley Blower was changed for a DB mk3 so Bond did get an Aston eventually. .

Only 15k?? I got my 2013 Vantage with 24k, just ticked over 40k. Yep that’s only 1k more but anyway... Drive it man!! They actually have fewer problems if you drive them.
´´earlier db9 do not seem to age so well’´ ? C’mon dear James, they were the purest design of the linage. We will see in few years which becomes the icon. Anyway thanks again for the top notch videos ! Now I am gonna see my 2005 model in the garage to reinforce my thoughts ...
I don't get this urging people to drive big mileage on their special cars. Why would you want people to drive them into the ground and then scrap them? You don't want people to keep them completely hidden but you want them to be preserved...
@@JayEmmOnCars Quite so. Who gives a thought about the mileage, say, on a Blower Bentley? If cars are kept for long enough, the mileage becomes an irrelevance. Indeed all machinery suffers more from neglect than over use.
On the contrary, I'd rather buy most cars on higher mileage provided they have the maintenance required to back it up. I don't get how people don't realise cars sitting around collecting dust will still go through consumables such as bushes, tyres, fluids and most don't replace them because it 'doesn't do the mileage'.
My V8 Vantage now has 116k miles on it It gets used It doesn’t rattle or squeak (now a couple of clips have been replaced) and it’s not that expensive to service. Get a bigger grin from it than I ever did from the 996 C4S I had before it.
@@JayEmmOnCars Thanks. The only Vanquish 2s that I've seen in NZ have pretty-much Liberace-style interiors covered in what looks like Ostrich skin. Just watching your review of the Vanquish 2 now...sports seats again being your preference?
Sorry to say this but since Sean Connery finished with Bond it has been just a series of action films. He was and always will be the only true James Bond.
@@JayEmmOnCars I'm crushed Jay. My favorite TH-camr burning me so badly. It must be my American sensibilities that make Spectre so palatable in my eyes. (I hope the humor has come through these comments well enough)
Spectre wasn't terrible! I agree with the tenuous link with the car and the film but I think you should continue with the car critic and not get involved in the movie critic
The DB9 is still a great looking car. Spectre is the only Bond film I have no desire to see again not helped by the fact it has an awful theme song thanks to Sam Smith's pained warblings. Ruddy awful.
Spectre was a terrible film. The car was fantastic except for the silly story idea of having none its technology work? Thank God for fast forward. Which I used threw most of the film. I actually stopped it before the end. Nice, nice car though.
I recall spending most of a day driving a DB9 in 2009 or thereabouts . My old bosses courtesy car as his Vanquish was in the garage yet again.. and we both cane to the conclusion that the DB9 that day was that for the money involved it was such a dull car to drive. Similar to his old 6 cyl DB7. Good looking but boring as hell. It’s tainted my view of Astons to this day , a car to be seen in or aspire too rather than for petrol head pleasure?
It's sad to see how much more beautiful last gen Astons were
+1
Yeh the last gen dbs was the last truly beautiful car made
Leuff
Spot on. Give it another 10 years and an Aston Martin, BMW, Mercedes, Honda, Kia... all will have the same angles and edges that could have been drawn by the same hand (with a computer, not a pencil).
It's almost as if they've all read the same American report that explains "what people want"...
Agreed. The front lights on the modern vantage remind me of an mx5
Every Aston from that generation, bar the Cygnet was an absolute work of art as opposed to the just, good looking "trendy" Astons from this generation.
Like the last gen was truly something of a true to form hand crafted classic timepiece, where as the new ones are more like generic smartwatches and not even great ones at that.
While Bond did drive a Grey 4.5 litre Blower Bentley in a number of the books, there is a chapter in Goldfinger entitled "Thoughts in a DB3".
To be honest I'd rather a Bond edition be the DBS as seen in Casino Royale with the interior as it was in the movie complete with rear fire extinguisher. Maybe a subtle 007 logo, or just the gun barrel motif somewhere to signify what it is.
Db9 still stunning, more so than the current range.
Don't forget the defibrillator in the glovebox
@@visionist7 always handy, just in case...

The car hasn’t aged AT ALL !!!
And it never will, it’s a Aston
My absolute favourite GT ever... incredible timeless design and elegance
The DB9 GT might be the most beautiful modern Aston, and perfect in that silver too IMO! I'll stick with the regular version though...
db9 is my favourite aston.
Oh, what about the One77?
Yeah, this era of Aston is the best looking. Same with the vantage, the older one looked more beautiful
The DB9 is one of the prettiest Astons full stop, but the only Aston I actually want is a v12 vantage (s).
the smaller headlights on the older DB9 and DBS were more timeless

Agree. It's cheesier than some of Q's lines in the 80's Bond flicks.
For some reason it strikes me as juvenile, somehow
