I'm with Gary - that's horrible !
However, as the standard Astons go, I much prefer the original 6-cylinder DBS styling to the later V8 version ...

The body looks stock, it’s just the GT40 esq wheels that jar for me.

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
My brother in law had a red 16v BX exactly like the one in the corner of the showroom in the early 90s. It felt like an absolute rocket ship - really light cars for their size with composite bonnet and boot etc, plus wafer thin steel doors

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Citroen were, in my mind, ahead of the game when it came to styling at the time. I think the XM was a masterpiece...

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
I ran a black 1.9 GTI 16v BX as my everyday car back in the late '90's/early 2000's - great cars

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
I had a French registered XM in the large 90’s.
Loved the looks, the ride and the exclusive feel of having it, not a common sight in the West Midlands back then or ever.
Rubbish electrics though, but a v nice car to have.
Went back to the factory a year later and I had to have a string of Rover 800’s….oh dear.

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
I learnt to drive in my dad’s XM 2.0 petrol manual. I loved that car, he hated it
. Previously he had company fords for ever and then a couple of Volvo 240 glt estates. The xm had suspension failure more than once
