Aston Martin has refreshed the V8 Vantage sports coupe and roadster and as we reviewed it back in 2009, the car is by far one of the best looking GTs out on the market and its now looking better than ever with the subtle new changes. For 2010, Aston Martin has taken the Vantage V8 one step closer to perfection. The changes include minor upgrades to the body aerodynamics, wheels and taillights but the real treat is inside the car…

The new 2010 Aston Martin DBS Volante is officially here and it is HOT. The car that is known to be James bond’s personal transportation is now available in a convertible for 2010, and it isn’t cheap. This is now the most expensive and gorgeous car Aston Martin has ever produced and it will be starting at $265,000 and will feature a 2+2 configuration, meaning 4 people can fit and enjoy the sun, unlike the coupe that has rear seat deletes. Here is what Aston Martin had to say about their new DBS volante.

The 2010 Aston Martin Vantage V8 is here. Back in 2006 Aston Martin introduced the rebirth of its bread winner, the Vantage. Changing the infamous problematic car from an exotic V12 to a daily V8. The delivery and execution was simply flawless and needed to be commended as for the first time in ages, someone made a car worthy of giving the ultimate daily exotic, the Porsche 911 a run for its money. The Aston Martin Vantage is by no means as fast as its counterpart and does deliver a slightly more expensive price tag than even the 911 Turbo, but a price well worth paying for the glory that Aston Martin badge brings with it.

Introducing the new Aston Martin DBS convertible.
Aston Martin will take the wraps off its fastest ever production convertible at the Geneva motor show when the muscular 2010 Aston Martin DBS Volante makes its global debut.
The soft-top version of Aston’s beefy DBS will top 191 mph, the company says, and sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 4.3 seconds, figures that put the DBS Volante in the top echelon of open-top supercars.

So the other day I came across this picture and though to myself really?
I have personally driven the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and thought what a great car. It’s not fast, but it sure is a looker, without mentioning that the details of the interior are simply striking. Exactly what you expect from a $140,000 Aston Martin. But then some surprising resemblances to the automaker Ford exist all over the car. We all know that $65 Million of Aston Martin is still owned by Ford but come on this is ridiculous.
Here are some of the components that were borrowed from the Ford:
-Mirrors and swicthes all belong to Volvo
-The key fob as pictured above obviously belong to Volvo first
-The engine components are straight from a Ford Mustang Cobra
Aston Martin’s comments were “all key fobs will be replaced by new control units in 2009 models.” This leaves you wondering why do these cars depreciate so much. Maybe its just a glorified Volvo with a Ford Cobra motor.

Some of us are fortunate enough to purchase a $5000 watch, some of us are even fortunate enough to buy $100,000 cars but only a few are honored with the right and privilege to drive the James Bond car in the same fashion as the man himself.
