This is the most beautiful car I've seen in along time.

Let’s hope this is the car that finally gets Aston Martin back in the black. It should do. It looks stunning. Well done Aston.

Best Gt on the market! More refined and comfortable than the Ferrari Roma more sporty than a Maserati Granturismo more exclusive than a Porsche 911! Dream car! Compliment to Aston Martin from an Italian cars lover! Well done! 👏🏼

They knocked it out of the park with that design 😍

[jasonbrody]

One of the best if not the Best looking roofless car in this modern era. Thank you AM

Having owned a 16 plate Vantage, I could not get on with Interior of new Vantage and DB11 but this knocks it out of the park, not as brash as Ferrari or as new money of a Bentley..it just says class and I don’t need to try to hard..epic Aston ❤❤oh and great review

[romulus_]

don't usually give a second look to convertibles, but wow. aston martin have done it. flawless design.

[rogerpayne]

This DB12 volante look's glorious in brown to me. I actually prefer the looks of Volante with the roof up than the Coupe. The rear deck sits better as a convertible. What with the fabulous new interior and Supercar performance, I'll defo take this over a Conti GT or job Aston Martin

Car 10/10. Leather trousers 11/10. I wish for both. Bonus: an entertaining and informative vehicle review.

4:00 it's how you use those millimetres!😂

[kunaalkhanna]

This is the best looking GT ever made IMO. And this time they fixed the interior too.

[erroltucker]

I am buying one of these, as soon as I cash in my lottery ticket

[RamjeProductions]

I'd be riding along with Anthony Joshua as a passenger for that orchestra at the back alone.

[zcat]

That rootbeer-like color/coulor is glorious. Now, how come my bank account is pathetic?

[sempiternaldamned]

I love the roof works so much. Also I didn’t realize the wind situation in the car until alex mentioned it. That’s so cool.

[Kratos-]

Wasn’t sure about the colour at the beginning. But, by the end of the video it has grown on me. I like it.

[jefflee]

Looks like a great car. I'm sorry but this review consistently loves every car. She comes off as more of a brand ambassador in her reviews than a journalist.

[gregorywalker]

Went to Q in NYC and built ours. Almost the same exterior configuration as this one except we have the Y-Spoke wheels painted gloss instead of satin and Ceramic brakes. Interior went Black with contrast stitching matching the paint and walnut inserts. Bowers and Wilkenson as well. Cannot wait..

[grzesgrzes]

Great convertible, good review from the owner, greetings from Poland

[reezndukwe]

Nice presentation, Legouix. What's d color code name of the exterior?
