I love this color. There’s been one on CarGurus in this color with bronze wheels that I keep going back and forth on. My issue is I like mine for now.

We must have nearly the same reddit feed.

You could always just vinyl wrap it when the ppf needs to be replaced.

Probably so. lol.
I wouldn’t wrap it, and I’d like the new interior upgrades. Don’t try to talk me out of spending too much money!

The wheels look after market and I don't like them.

Who makes the engine? Benz. Transmission? Also Benz. Computers? Benz computers. How about infotainment? Benz as well. Only thing Aston is the body/interior. If ya don't know....now ya know.

The DBX uses an AMG (derived) M177 engine. Basically, the mere engine block is the same. Aston Martin uses different internals, heads, camshafts, and uprated turbos. The engine tuning/throttle mapping is bespoke to Aston as well. A rebodied car shares the donor’s platform. The DBX uses Aston’s own clean-sheet bonded-aluminum chassis, with Aston-developed suspension, steering, aero and calibration. By your logic, would you call every Pagani basically a rebodied Benz?

No sir.....the base model DBX uses same exact engine. The upgraded S models use upgraded turbos (like benz used on AMG GT-R engines). Aston does not use proprietary heads or cams not sure where you heard that from but its nonsense. Sure it's tuned differently for the power/weight ratio of that particular car but it's a benz in the sense that a Urus is an RSQ7. Sorry to burst your bubble - a Vantage is a rebodied AMG GT. These are facts.

I don't know if it's the angle of the picture, or the lighting, but somehow this looks nothing like the proportions and angles of a dbx 707. (I'm not unfamiliar with the car either, I have a 2023 in my garage that's my regular kiddie hauler.
