Yes. Also, this isn't a diesel, at least not according to Autocar from the U.K. and the (I'm pretty sure it's German) TheKoreanCarBlog. I'd double-check on that, Orlove/Jalopnik.

I think all you need to concede here, from a metapolitical perspective, is that our democratic party, practically speaking our left, has been more centrist than anything else, and often quite rightist. This
Really? I had no idea. I still find it weird that you can’t ride motorcycles on the highway.
I’d agree, but these are mostly going to be driven around crowded Korean cities, and even the longest possible intercity route (Seoul-Busan) is only about 200mi/400km, so concerns of long-haul accommodations are secondary, even though traveling at the absurd national speed limit of 60mph/100kph means a trip time of…
Aww, really? Shoot. Now we'll be seeing them on every corner.
At this point, I’m inclined to think of it this way. First of all, you can’t even buy a Lagonda in the U.S., and even if you could, you’re almost certainly never going to see one. Second of all, we can all agree that the styling themes of the Lagonda are pretty good, so I don’t see how more of it is necessarily a bad…
Sometimes I think I’d like to go off-roading, but then I think, “I (sometimes) like being outside, and I can just walk or hike places that no SUV could, at speeds far exceeding what they can in the more topographically interesting situations, and not need to be particularly skilled or disposable-incomed to do so.”
I…
Is it weird that I'm almost excited for a top speed for which those silly old 85mph speedometers would be sufficient?
...And also planes don't require the defiance of gravity in operation. A train's blown up, people die, but there's no fuel (at least no in the electric trains of high-speed rail), and no hurdling into the ground at hundreds of miles per hour. And you can't hi-jack a train because what are you going to do, drive it off…
Yet another reason that, as has been discussed elsewhere on Jalopnik, these kinds of cars are fairly stupid. Performance numbers are much less interesting than how a car feels when those numbers are being achieved.
Certainly they aren’t, and ultimately I’m more interested in how an engine sounds. However, logically speaking, if an engine sounds good, I want more revs to give it more operational room in which to sound good, if that makes sense.
Not that you are, but I do like that a lot of people are attacking what I said on…
Experience would indicate otherwise...although admittedly only just.
Just saying, were it me (and it never will be), I'd probably get a Vanquish over this solely because of the difference in engine, even though I otherwise prefer this new DB11.
I kind of wondered about that, if maybe it was some particular mode. The new NSX has an eco (or whatever) mode that limits revs to 4000, so it certainly could be different from what's shown there. But it's also reasonable, ultimately that it'd have a 6k rpm redline; it's just disappointing to me, personally, for…
8 fewer cylinders, 2.7 liters fewer. Not the point. Ferrari's and Lamborghini's V12's are both larger than this engine (although probably much more oversquare), and rev more than 2k RPM higher.
I didn't say it was a bad thing; I just prefer, especially in nominally sporty cars, that I have a reason to actually rev the engine out. I'm quite fine with a peaky engine, assuming it sounds good.
I’m still disappointed that, at least according to the images in Aston Martin’s webpage for this car, the redline seems to be a plebian 6000RPM. My '06 Forester revs higher than that.
Clueless sales people aren’t anything new. I remember going to a VW dealer years ago, and one of them pointed to the ESP button and said “that’s the electronic suspension control”. Because it definitely wasn’t the electronic stability program.
Clueless company reps at an auto show where a new product is being launched…
Every time that truck lands....It’s like when they use giant rubber hammers to whap people on the head....Quite literally lol’ing right now. Sometimes stupidity just is entertaining.
At this right, if Hyundai is careful with what they do with the brand, I think Genesis could easily snap up all the people who buy Infiniti’s. The G80 is arguably better-suited to the purpose of an E-Class alternative than the (what the fuck’s it called...) Q70, and they’ll likely be getting 480hp from their 3.3 V6…
