HECK YES for me! especially the exterior. It is dangerously stealth and would not leave my kids in the garage alone with it due to fear it would assassinate them. I also like the sublte touches of red to the exterior. As for inside, maybe a hair too much red for me, like the quilting I could do without, but overall I would take it or any DBS for that matter, although I want it in manual.

Luv this setup and color combo. The super-staggered concave wheel setup helps the look too.

(But I tend to prefer high perf cars in conservative colors)

Dumb question: how do you maintain a matte finish on a car?

Exterior-wise, that's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

Love the DBS but I'll be glad when the matte black fad is over.

beautiful car....except for the matte paint. I have always said that the DBS is easily one of the best looking cars of all time. The lines are perfect.

Thanks for sharing buddy

Me too. Fads are the worse.

Love the car but matte colored cars look unfinished to me.
All blacked out wheels disappear instead of standing out.
Why spend big money to have an unfinished looking car rolling on wheels you can't see? Just so illogical.

The paint is the best part.

Although matte black is (now) overplayed, it is extremely well executed on this Aston.

And the interior is superb.

WELL DONE!!!

I much rather have stock. Flat Black does not look so good on Aston Martins.

Looks amazing!

Will have to show this to the wife. She informed me at the car show that she liked the look of the DBS and would like to drive one....then I filled her in on the $300K price tag. I think she's counting on a lottery win now.
