You know there’s something not quite right with the world when the best soccer player there is can command millions of dollars, suit every clothing brand sponsorship deal, and is a pin up boy for good looks, yet when he opens his mouth, sounds like a four-year-old boy. You can be aesthetically attractive, but if you don’t have the balls to back it up, it’s not a great combo. You really need the complete package to carry it off. Something that covers all bases.
When the man from Aston Martin rang to say that there was a DB9 free and it’s about time we reviewed it again, we were all ears. After all, it’s comfortable, powerful and drop dead gorgeous. That makes it the complete package then, right?. The particular car made available to CarAdvice had one extra thing going for it. It just so happened to be a TV star.
You might recognise it from the Top Gear Australia road trip in episode eight. In that episode it was up against a Porsche Turbo, and a Lamborghini Superleggera, through the roads of Tasmania. In my mind at least, the DB9 was not exactly a competing car. The other two are hard edged sports cars. The DBS would have been a better fit for that story
