New 2020 Aston Martin DBX review - Aston's most important car ever?

[@petermcelvogue7521]

It looks like a slightly bigger new ford puma.

[@dkpirie]

That's because Ford "stole" the design from Aston Martin, as Ford has done with other British automobiles.

[@campkira]

i do't get why bother made this car.... no aston owner will buy one... and new owner only buy it and own it for a few year.... and don't bother fixing it...

[@markking9435]

@@campkira it doesn't matter to Aston how long the customer keeps it for, its the fact they sold the car in the first place they got there money, there kinda forced into making and suv as most other manufacturers offer them and someone wanting a sporty luxury suv will probably look at range rover svr, audi sq8 or the new rsq8 coming out, lambogini urus, then ya got ya Mercedes amg, BMW, rolls Royce and Bentley but Aston don't have a single car in this category and people that like the brand that are looking for this type of vehicle would have to look at all these other brands and Aston doesn't want that, ya gotta look at it from a business point, they wanna make money and they simply couldn't offer what other high end brands could, it makes sense for Aston Martin, 👌

[@thomasbailey4139]

I was going to say a bit of Cayanne in the front.

[@KB-bh9hp]

@@dkpirie No lol, I love how people can't comprehend that there are only so many ways you can shape a box with 4 wheels. Most car designers aren't stealing from other brands, there are just a shot ton of designs.

Looks like a Ford focus on roids

Aston had this design for years before Ford nicked it.

Remember people: it’s thanks to this that Aston intends to pay for the all awesome cars they have planned for the future.

[@Danis8Pastry]

I'm so sick of seeing/hearing people think it's okay to sell their soul to keep on dancing. Even though the dance quickly after starts to look like a bus parallel parking, and the music starts to sound like Oom-Pah... Just like we've seen with Porsche and Lamborghini. They are no longer sportscar manufacturers. The SUV models have completely taken over their sales.

[@SenszR]

Hastrup081290 Lamborghini has never been a sports car manufacturer and Porsche still makes the world’s best sports cars

[@Still-ill-Trill]

@@Danis8Pastry Not at all true, Lamborghini kept doing their dance purely from the Gallardo.

[@Danis8Pastry]

@@SenszR Lamborghini was never a sportscar manufacturer?... Porsches sportscars (911 and 718) only count for 30% of their sales. They make more SUV, sedans and estates... So no. They are no longer a sportscar manufacturer. No more than Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, Alfa Romeo, Ford, Mazda, Etc.

[@Danis8Pastry]

@Jurassic Coast Comics Point being? The LM002 never surpassed the Countach in sales numbers.

[@garydc1057]

Obviously hard to tell with the camouflage wrap adhered, but my initial impression is that - as far as SUV's are concerned - this will be very, very handsome.. Seems they've kept the Vantage-esque duck-bill type built-in spoiler at the rear, above the (again) Vantage-esque rear lights - a big positive - and the corporate identity of the typical Aston grille at the front, too. Thing is, you either like / appreciate SUV's or you don't. And if the remit here was to produce something easily identifiable as an Aston and as distinguished as an Aston, they've scored well here in my view. I think they're right; I think this will be a massively important vehicle for Aston Martin, going forward.

[@Notha320]

the design could have been sharper. All i see is a ford kuga here.

[@Chrissy-H]

Notha agreed, it looks like a blob on wheels.

[@nevarran]

160K Ford Focus. What a bargain, I'll take 2. I love these race track SUV tests, because you know 99% of their buyers will be on the track every weekend, and sometimes midweek as well.

I’m not going to take my Seamaster diving but it’s nice to know I could.

[@xanthuumnihyr5319]

I love how suvs became "sporty vehicules" in peoples minds when it should be the complete opposite of a performance car.

[@LastRenegade00]

Nailed it lol

[@Chrissy-H]

Xanthuum Nihyr people are confused. It's a vehicle for transporting sport utilities (like surfboards, skis, etc), not a sports car with extra utility.

[@benkrapf]

Not sad at all. If it can do for Aston what the Cayenne did for Porsche, I HOPE it's the best-selling Aston of all time.

[@Aamie]

Bentayga is the most sold Bentley and the SUVs are much cheaper then their other models despite as luxurious and nice

[@Super69racing]

I really hope so.

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

@@Aamie Yeh and SUVs drive almost as well too. I can't stand SUV's because of their obnoxious size but it's fair to pay them their dues.

[@larssonk22]

Front reminds me of the problem Porsche had when they released their SUV. They've lifted the sports car front design and applied it to the SUV, feels like we've entered the uncanny valley. The rear looks great though! No need to place any bets, the interior will look lush.

Yes.

They didn't have to come up with the best .

Such a disappointing design. For a car that's so important for Aston Martin they should have been more adventurous. Looks like everything else on the road today. Sad day.

The SUV trend is the worst thing to ever happen to the car industry

[@magnumoverpowered4180]

I totally agree, except by some SUVs that are very focused on performance, generally a SUV is a heavy, poorly aerodynamically, slow that consumes tons of fuel. They say that a SUV is comfortable, and practical, but when I compare the Jeep Renegade that I have to the BMW 328i which my father has, the 3 series pretty much destroys it in all aspects. But even if it is a Jeep, all SUV are not much different from one another.

[@iloper]

The off road capability for the countryside gentry looks spectacular and a real Aston shooting brake. Me, I don't want an SUV, and it may be a tad late to market for those that want it, as well.
