Tanzy Clutched February 10, 2005 Share February 10, 2005 Being an entry level V8 ONLY and a baby Aston, expect it to be priced close to F430 and Gallardo. Should be about S$800K or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMW320i Neutral Newbie February 10, 2005 Share February 10, 2005 By the way I heard JC kept complaining about the DB's gear shift.
