I Took Home a $350,000 Aston Martin DBS and I'm Shocked... | Review

As of now, the 2023 Aston Martin DBS is no longer called the DBS Superleggera. Apparently named to honor the coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, down to using the exact same font, it left people confused why a two-ton vehicle was named "super light". Nevertheless, the Aston Martin DBS is an absolutely incredible machine built to shock you with every press of the throttle.

It may also be one of the best looking Aston Martins of all time. The interior is beautiful, but the tech is outdated and frustrating.

About the grading system:
All grades are relative to a car's respective category. For example: an SUV's score cannot be compared to a sportscar's. Different segments are graded differently.  

I lean toward and prioritize performance on my scale. Suspension reflects the balance between handling and firmness of the ride, but also varies based on class of car (i.e. a luxury SUV is all about luxury, therefore suspension score is graded based on luxury and not handling). Power is about straight-line speed, which is affected by power-to-weight. Interior takes into account aesthetics, ergonomics, material and build quality. Design is highly subjective and nothing but personal preference. Likewise, so is sound and the bonus score.
