Hey now! If I haven't made it clear in quite some time, let me refresh you all. One of my favorite brands is Aston Martin.
Does it make the very best automobiles on the road, no, but what it does do is make some of the most enjoyable road-going machines today. Personally, I love the way its vehicles sound and how simple they are.
Big changes are on the horizon though. The DB11 is due up for a 2016 Geneva Motor Show (GIMS) debut and it will be a watershed moment. The DB11 is said to be a true four seater and its engine will not be a 6.0-liter V12. The company has said a 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 will be in the DB11.
In addition, from what we've seen so far it's very clear this product is being developed with Mercedes-Benz. While we've seen some spy shots of the DB11 test mule featuring some Mercedes traits and switchgear, it's clear that the steering rack, instrument panel and infotainment system will be lifted from the three-pointed star.
