Finally a match for the CLS55.. but at what cost

Just saw the pictures of the new DB9 4-door. What a car! The lines are fantastic and the only thing I have seen so far that I think is on the same level as the CLS55 as far as being a performace 4-door with 480hp and such sleek lines. But at more than twice the price one has to think again.

Here's the article on it.

That car just exudes eroticism - even without the long-legged door opener.

just hope they don't start using ford parts.... like they do with Jaguar. (j/k)



but I say.. it really out does the CLS in the "sexy" department.

A.M. cars have always been great looking cars.

I'm not too keen on the rear. The rest is stunning.

Does that price include clones of the two ladies depicted?

They had one at the Detroit Auto Show. It looks just a great in person. The hatch was open and in the back they had a custom made chess set and a couple spots to hold champagne and glasses.
