Aston have been consistently delivering some of the most beautiful production cars in the world for 60+ years. Awesome stuff.
And now the interior finally match’s the looks of the exterior!
DB7 was not a beautiful car?
Facts.
The one77 still looks better.
It's a pity that the design is the only good thing about this car. By all accounts, it shouldn't cost more than 200K dollars, because it's just a Mercedes with a different design. At the same time, Aston Martin is in many ways inferior to Mercedes. Especially if it breaks down or gets into an accident...
Rory is definitely one of the best current reviewers out there today. None of the fluff and BS that come with most of the others.
He's funny too
He's grinded and perfected his art to get here so he deserves the shine
Couldn’t agree with you more 👍 so much more entertaining than the predictable reviews we get from a certain Mr.Watson
Title for the videos are awful though
Better than Matt Shmee and the rest
That moment you realize AutoTrader has surpassed Top Gear in both production quality and their presenters. Love having you back, Rory. Reviews like this make me glad you are no longer with the disgrace that is left after the BBC ruined Top Gear forever. Now we all get to enjoy what you are truly capable of.
their crew, pre and post production, are excellent for the short video segment.. Rory is great as he can cross cultures easily, doesnt try to be anything other than himself.. even with what Im sure are pre production scripts etc. the facial expressions, the passion, the joy or concern all come thru naturally..
I was thinking the same thing
This dude's technical knowledge is just amazing. He breaks down technicalities and makes it easy to understand why certain choices are made in the car design and development. Incredible Rory 👌. The first Aston I could buy in my dreams 😂😂
Rory, I’m disappointed that you didn’t try the machine gun and oil spill feature 😊
🤣
Rory I never used to rate you as a reviewer but I have to say you are now one of the finest. Well done mate
Came to your senses 👏🏾 😁
@@AutoTraderTV No you came to yours. You've stopped being a shouty man-child (or have you)?.
@@AutoTraderTV
Excellent Upload cheers Rory.
Rory presents like Picasso paints. he is sublime.
Some might overlook the importance of beauty in a car but it is truly very important, since i can’t afford a supercar i notice it with motorcycles, to look at you vehicle in the garage or parked outside the coffee shop and to think “what a piece of art, I’m so proud of my vehicle” really fills one’s soul
I couldn't agree with you more, mate. You've nailed it 👏🏿 👌🏾
Nice comment, and cute dog
That garage appeal works for me... love looking at my Guzzi as much as riding it. However, it's bottom of my riding buddy's list.
Can't get that feeling with an EV
The subtle changes to design makes this a beautiful car over the DB11. Previously, I found the DBS (2008 to 12) and Vanquish (pre 2018) to be stunning. The DB12 is the design evolution (interior and exterior) that Aston Martin needed. Rory's review was top notch as usual.
agree, DB12 is more sporty and modern, suitable to young generation than classic on other version.
The fact that Rory caught two ergonomic flaws is a big deal, not just spitting out facts that make the car look good, thus appeasing Aston Martin. Those 2 flaws might seem small and mundane, but they can affect the comfort and driving experience
Which ones?
@@reemobrooklyn3557 Heated seat capacitive button placement and turbo lag when under 4000rpm.
One the AC vents
Two the wrist rest. In interferes with the temperature control of the seats
Oh do be quite numpty, your Dacia is far worse
I don't want air blown into my face. Really not an ergonomic issue
What a beautiful car, finally worthy against rivals because of the interior upgrade. Such a shame that the V12 is not an option anymore.
Why? The V8 makes more power and is lighter. It doesn’t sound worse either. V12s aren’t glorious unless they are NA so you can here them and high revving. The prior V12 was neither
@@ludda42 Because to me a V12 is synonymous with AM, and the DB11 sounds glorious. It also suits the character of the car, and I’m simply saying it would be great to have both engine options.
Apparently, an insider has given one of the other reviewers a hint that a V12 will be put in it. Probably limited edition, though.
@@ludda42Because the V12 sounds better, no replacement for displacement. At this price, sound is everything.
@@matbishopsa not sure why because the original astons had inline engines
I'm not sure how much of the review is written before hand... But I got to say that I really enjoyed how laid back and relaxing this video came out of the final edit.
Looks cool and the upgrades to the interiors are worth appreciation
The choice of music Rory & his team chose for this, made it even more majestic.
Autotrader eating most other channels for quality and poignantly well timed concise car content
For me if you drive an Aston you've got to have some James Bond theme music to get thoset emotions flowing. However probably the musical rights make it a non starter. Shame though 😔
Beautiful Aston driven by the best car reviewer Mr Rory Reid
Amazing car , amazing location, amazing host our king of Auto Car world RORY , keep up the good work guys!
Several videos popped up for a review on the DB12 But the go to is definitely Rory! Great content, information and cinematography. Keep it up Rory. 🎉
The beauty of the scenery and camera work, the stunning car and a top tier reviewer doing what he does best. All this adds up to a wonderful video that's worth every minute.
This is a beautiful machine. Mr Reid always does a stellar job as always
idk if people think its racist or an odd comment. but its really nice to see a lovely black man present me a car, while being so cool and well put together. its a breath of fresh air from what the media pumps in my face about black people.
The camera guy doing outside shots is really good
Another great review. I feel since leaving Top Gear Rory has been able to express himself properly, and he has matured in a fantastic car journalist in my humble opinion. Great work, keep it up.
I've seen several excellent reviews of the DB12 now, all shot beautifully, but this one is the best in terms of info and highlighting the key points. No mucking about, just data and an honest empirical perspective. Plus, it's the only review with a glimpse of the rear seats. Great job!
Car companies should hire Rory as a consultant to help them build even better cars. This guy knows what he is talking about.
Aston Martin really are at the top of their game at the moment. Every car they've churned out in the last couple of years is simply brilliant. And from a wider British perspective, British marques are really producing some belters at the moment.
It's also helping things along nicely that the F1 team is doing quite well do, giving them some additional great positive publicity.
I love British cars but I am not sure they can keep up with the Germans and the Italians..
I didn’t even watch the video yet and already gave it a thumbs up! It’s Rory and a cool car! That’s all i need! 🤘🤝
Rory - this might be the best car review video I've ever seen. Brilliant work, keep it up. So many facts and technical specs delivered with a love of cars.
You are by far the best reviewer out there. I'm off to see the unveiling of the DB12 here in Dallas tomorrow and now I am fully educated! Thank you sir.
Keep up the great work! Excellent review... watching from Trinidad and Tobago!
I always want to see an Aston that delivers, and this time they seem to have done it. Thanks for this engaging and entertaining review Rory.
New DB12 i first watched the Hagerty video. And 2nd i'm watching the Auto Trader video.
Wow Auto Trader - you giving me 80% more info, covering so many things the Hagerty video did not mention.
This is THE DB12 video to watch. Thank you for all the effort.
These videos are like top gear videos so well put together,no wonder there ain’t any more car review shows on terrestrial tv
Hello from South Africa, it's 02:15AM and Happy Birthday to myself 💯... V8 over v12 as always 💖
Happy Birthday!!! 🎉🎊🥳🎁🎂🎈😎
It's the Aston Martin I've always wanted them to make. It's perfection.
Rory and the team, you’re doing an amazing job. Just keep going. You’re making us loving it.
That looks of the car and heaven like place.. and those close up, wide, drone shots combined.. I was in a dream..❤
Rory is my Fav. Please let him review every new car and make every new video on here!!!😊😊😊
Great presentation, Rory! You're rather good at this...
First and only car show on youtube ive subscribed to. All thanks to this great reviewer. GGWP!
My honest opinion, you produce the best autovideos of them all! Love your work💪
Great video as always Rory, I totally agree on the air vents and buttons for the heated seats, hate those touch sensitive buttons, I do disagree about the paddle location though, I’d say they’re better attached to the wheel so you don’t have to take your hands off the wheel while driving vigorously to change gear. It’s strange when I first saw the silhouette of the DB12 I thought it looked like the demon love child of a Jag and a modern mustang, looks far elegant in the flesh.
My feed showed me embargo has apparently been lifted, but Rory is the one i'd like to watch right now...🚗
Watched your first time today. Must say, probably the best car reviewer out there. You are the mkbhd of Car reviews :)
Please keep letting this guy review!!! He truly is amazing and illustrates exceptionally well. I love his reviews.
I would very much like to see Rory reviewing the Aston Martin Vulcan, honestly. To me the very best car to come off Aston Martin on this century.
Another great review Rory.
Livin' the lush life.😎
Your voice is your key quality and the way you put your pinky up just like all of us who are dignified and well educated!
yes, I always like Rory's reviews and comments. great test. many thx
There are a number of reports on the DB12 now the journalist have got their hands on it, this is the best. Great report and amazing car. AM have really moved their game on with this car, maybe there is hope for the future after all.
This video is the single best media i've ever seen for Aston Martin. Beautifully reviewed and filmed. This car imho is peak Aston Martin. Well done.
Nice one Rory. Enjoyed watching this review
Have to say, love Rory's reviews , perfection..no BS
This is a beautiful Aston Martin. Rory's review is spot on as always.
quality review as usual thank you
Ok bro..your the best...there's a reason I binge watch all your vids
High quality videos and effort doesn’t go unnoticed 🔥
I wish Rory was still on mainstream TV, he's just so good to watch and listen to. Never thought he really got given a chance on Top Gear. Great review, like the hint of 'Succession' in the closing music
Rory, Chris Harris and Nicola Hume are what Top Gear should be right now. All 3 of them to me are top of their game in car reviews, automotive knowledge and personality on camera.
Top gear is dead bbc looking for excuses to shut it costs too much to make
Top Gear will always live in the shadow and chemistry of Clarkson,Hammond and May .... If Reid, Harris and Hume can as a trio demonstrate similar chemistry then yes I agree with you.
@@XENONEZZ2 For some reason I don't miss the old Top Gear anymore. I'd rather watch the Fifth Gear instead now. It was fun while it lasted, but after some time I guess you just grow up or burn out...
These solo guys are good enough to not really care about what happened to the show anymore.
Production looks phenomenal as always brother
What a wonderful, articulate and informative review. Beautifully presented video. Rory, well done. Your reviews are authentic and fun! By the way, I thought you were going to lose it when you did that drift round that corner - well controlled.
The new DB12 is stunning...I really like it. Nice vid too.
You’ve done it again Rory. Smashed it well and truly out of the park. What a video and what a car. It’s stunning
Rory your information is detailed and easy to understand…. Thx mate great job
Excellent video Rory and the team.
Rory, you've got what I call a dream job, mate. And you're quite great at it. Although this DB12 is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever laid my eyes on but I feel it looks like what a DB11 707 would've looked like if it existed. Kinda like what AM did with the interiors of DB11 & DBS Superleggera. But the interior is quite a big step for AM. I'm sure most of AM's fans were slightly put off by their interiors but this one --- they really went to town 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I almost ordered this car until I noticed there's only one cup holder for the front occupants. Well, I'll stick to my 20 y/o Opel Astra then 😀
This or a Bentley?
Conti GT speed ain't bad, that's a tough choice
The Bentley over the DB11 but now I'd take this. Looks like the interior definitely stepped its game up
Aston
this, easily
Wow. Love that spec.
Such a well made video, thanks a lot!!! :D
I get to see it every day. Aston is testing it along with some DBXs, where i live. It is gorgeous.
I love green on brown
That was a stunning presentation. Absolutely fitting for a Bond car, love it!
I like the paddle shifters on the wheel. Easier to shift quickly rather than reaching for it on the base.
Congratulations on yet another great review. Rory is hands down the best car reviewer out there.
What a beautiful car and top work again by Rory. Rory's review style is absolutely spot on. None of the forced humour and innuendo others seem to have adopted in recent years, just pure facts presented, expertly, exquisitely, as they should be.
Wish they did something more with the rear lights. like give it something similar to the 177
Rory I was disappointed to hear you was not on TG anymore. But it was a blessing in disguise. You really are the Dogs Privates in these reviews. Keep going
😊🙏 Just love Rory's narration & his presentation of info & knowledge on vehicles he is guided us through without nonsense or complications >>> Just smooth , relaxing & classy concise tutorial ... Can listen to Rory the whole day! 🌷🌿🌏✌💜🕊🇬🇧
Amazing review once again Rory. The failing here is that there is no v12. A genuine AM GT needed that.
I disagree. The V8 makes more power and is lighter. It doesn’t sound worse either. V12s aren’t glorious unless they are NA so you can here them and high revving. The prior V12 was neither
This, this is the definition of a beautiful, amazing, and lethal car.
Wow.
That's what Aston Martin does.
Dream brand, dream car. Ever since I was little, I've wanted an Aston Martin, and with each new one, that doesn't change.
I'm not really into "supercars" and 800, 900, 1000 horsepower cars.
This is more my love in cars.
I wouldn't buy a Lambo, or a ferrari, but I'd buy an Aston without a second guess. Or a Maserati, Bentley, Lexus.
Maybe cars like the Honda NSX, or Audi R8, but that's about it when it comes to the low to ground, supercar esque.
Other than that I'd be more inclined to buy a Hyundai I30N, or a Ford Focus ST, even an Abarth, or a luxury SUV with higher horsepower, to go with the Aston, or Maserati, haha.
Buy a 2022 Honda Si and be happy bro
Thank you for mentioning the stereo. Hardly any car reviews seem to mention stereo and for me it’s one of the important features of a car.
Wow... this is a fantastic vehicle, welldone Aston!
Rory does it again!
What another fantastic presentation. Rory and the crew trun out the best, well, short film's (?) out there 👏 👌 👍 🙌 😀
Best car channel presenter by a mile.another brilliant presentation
Lovely car, I love the design so much! 🤩
I’m so ready for this 😍
Why does this video only have 179k views?! This is the most beautiful of the review videos of the DB12!
Just love the interion colors. Maybe if the infotainment screen was positioned higher up on the dashboard
DBS version should be interesting if they have it in the pipelines.
I’m a huge Aston fan and I love this, I just wish they had done a bit more to the rear end to differentiate it from the DB11. It’s not ugly it’s just not quite different enough. Anyway, probably nitpicking, I’d definitely upgrade from my Vantage to this, stunning car and all the reasons I wouldn’t have bought a DB11 are now resolved.
Amazing review, love the host too. Super interesting and informative !!
Great review Rory and nice to swap British weather for the SoF and a the high life.
Rory definitely loved the knobs on this one 😅
Thank you
I would usually watch a review of a car like this (I’m never going to buy one) but the pure enthusiasm and joy on Alex’s face made me watch the whole thing….its good to see someone having fun. Far too much doom and gloom in the world.
Great review. Thank you so much mate.
It is about time that Aston stepped up with their interiors and they did an excellent job indeed. The production quality of this video is exceptional as is, of course, Rory's delivery, data, and cadence. Hats off!
Raise your hand if you've been watching AutoTrader for a long time🤚
🙌🏾
🤚
🤚🏾
If only you knew how long
@Yashuop you comment the same thing on every automotive channel
Glad they finally updated the interior. Im still not sold on this model but Rory is great as always with the reviews! thanks bruv
Outstanding car & video. Great work Rory.
Looks like a cross between the DB11 and the old DB9. Which is no bad thing. They probably realised their newer design language wasn't really working out for most of the audience.
