Old Top Gear - New Aston Martin DB7 Road Test

[@kicksoffs]

So many memories I could cry. I remember my dad and I watching this on a Sunday night, man I miss those days.

[@Jeffybonbon]

we all miss them when there gone your not alone

[@FelixIsMyName]

Sorry for replying on something you posted 5 years ago, but I thought old Top Gear was aired Thursday evenings around 8pm each week?

[@1958plymouth440V8]

I have no idea how people can call the DB7 ugly - it looks absolutely gorgeous!

[@theodor12]

How ironic- the Bond car for the movie Goldeneye turned out to be a little BMW Z3, not the DB7🤣

[@ravisriram6746]

Ahh...the '90s, when cars still mattered.

[@akiratomita9168]

But it went to Johnny English,,,

[@richardsmith9509]

The more I like at this DB7, the more I LOVE my 99 XK8 coupe with its 300hp V8...and in BRG too.......

[@dvamateur]

It is one of the most beautiful cars in the world, if not the most beatiful of ALL cars. A masterpiece in design proportions.

[@SuperStig1992]

It's a shame that the DB7 didn't make it as a Bond car. Still, this car looks great!

[@giuistefanjr72]

It did in Goldeneye!

[@Niamizus]

@@giuistefanjr72 Really?

[@justsumguy2u]

No, Jeremy, you weren't wrong at all---the DB7's reliability turned out to be just as horrendous as you initially thought

[@MrAdrianOldfield]

That jacket though!

[@mccrackenphillip]

Little did he know it was never used but I do remember racing it in NFS Hot Pursuit p c game

[@sharpfalcon6196]

Gran Turismo also had one, but it didn't have those stupid wheel arches like the one you see in the video.

[@FelixIsMyName]

Clarkson always picks awesome music for the background for his videos.

[@greathey1234]

I agree, his taste is great and appropriate and does make a difference

[@davekennedy6315]

I hate to say it but Clarkson has nothing to do with the music chosen.

[@FelixIsMyName]

@@davekennedy6315 In all the stuff he has done over the years, they are using bands/artists he has long stated as being a fan of. I do love it when they have used M83 in the past for big moments like when they all drove to that big bridge in France

[@ERICtheLATE]

That Pink Floyd cut in a few times from "Dark Side of the Moon" is gettin me, did she do vocal for Stelvio Capriani also ???

[@michaelbrewer7065]

Perhaps its ok for Porsches to be faster than an Aston, but lets not forget that the Vauxhall Lotus Carlton was also faster, arguably more comfortable, and could seat 5 in comfort.

[@adam1othman]

super saloons are the best cars... sex appeal (not in the lotus case) like a GT and the performance with ultimate practicality

[@SmellsLikeGASOLINE]

Adam Othman but none of them are as pretty as this aston. I have an M5 E39, and I seriously think about replacing it by a db7 i6.

[@adam1othman]

Hedo's 80's & 90's Cars i agree, but in the real world the super saloon is more usable on a daily basis...

[@ERICtheLATE]

Gentlemen, there is this beautiful, Coupe with fully functional back seats and a n/a vvt v8 called a Maserati GranTurismo? How do they compare the the Asto/Jag family?

[@lamouliniere3937]

@@SmellsLikeGASOLINE Ben après 4 ans, on dirait bien que c'est fait, Hedi ;-) ... et avec 2 douzaines de cylindres en rabe, en plus :-)))

[@kicksoffs]

What's the specific year this was aired ?

[@Rahul-op3ry]

1994..

[@blairbrown4812]

Top Gear reviewed a Dodge Ram? I'd love to see that one.... Not that there's anything wrong with that Aston....

[@interceptor213]

The noise everything makes is not reassuring...that door sounded like it was going to fall off. But it's so gorgeous, who cares!!

[@comeausautomotiveradioshow]

This classic clarkson I do not know why on earth he decided to be wild and wilder in the modern top gear these are the classics he should have been song with May Hammond , his humor was also better and more subtle in the classic episodes, not the the offensive humor he resorted to in the last few of the modern top gear , clarkson should take a look at these and go back to the basics on how to do a car

[@michelleadams6999]

Db5 all day!

[@MrThestig8]

I think it could have made it into Goldeneye.

[@utubecomment21]

Dog's dinner!!

[@greathey1234]

Same price as 355? Guess which one turned out to be a good investment?

[@vehicles_n_stuff]

355 manual? Yes. 355 F1? Not so much…

[@jamesstuart3346]

For all the engineering genius, the radio is buried at the bottom of the stack behind the gear lever. Dumb and unsafe
