WHAT'S THE VERDICT?
“If this is Aston’s Porsche Cayenne moment that allows it to produce ever more decent GT/sports cars, then that’s a good thing”
In a sector crying out for some difference, the DBX provides it. It looks interesting, goes really very well and hits all the targets. It does feel like an Aston Martin product, and is a really very practical and well packaged SUV (running costs aside). It can manage off-road, feels suitably sporty even on a track – if you must – and generally has the chops to make light work of the grind.
The 707 moved the game on from the standard car. Yes, it’s faster and more aggressive if pushed, but when you back off it’s every bit as comfortable and undemanding as the regular car. And not a lot less efficient. And then with the facelift Aston addressed what needed changing (the infotainment) and decided on small gains rather than revolution elsewhere.
I’ve got him filtered on here, whatever he’s saying I can almost guarantee that his information comes from somebody on pistonheads that has registered their account today!
But the main point of discussion today should be that it looks the embargo on the DBX drive reviews has been lifted today and they look pretty good.

Correct, it’s all about Q3, lots of white noise at the moment. New Vantage in production as we speak (first deliveries expected Q3 I believe ) DBX press launch in progress it’s going to be an exciting end to the year don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
More green box, must be quite a large short I guess? Nobody spends 2 years 7 days a week trying to trash a company for nothing. I wonder where the Stroll investor roadshow is off to next? It Didn’t take much, to get this moving up.
Chart wise it’s looking bullish, broken the 20 and 50 day moving average and consolidating in the mid 160’s.
Nobody’s is expecting a good Q2, this is being driven by positioning for Q3/4 and 2025.
The motley fool seem to think the recent share price rise is down to an FT article which suggested Stroll “was considering” a US listing for Aston Martin. I think it’s down to Stroll courting US investors.

Stroll has sought to win over Wall Street by inviting investors to the carmaker’s Park Avenue showroom, where last year it launched Aston’s Q service, named after James Bond’s quartermaster. Visitors to the showroom are offered a “Savile Row” experience in which they can decide how to customise their vehicle and can admire the latest models, including the new Vantage sports car.
Son_Of_Swiss The Interesting thing about the Youtube clip is it looks like the DBX has the new interior, so i'm guessing that must be from the DBX press launch?
This looks like a trading buy now, with short term resistance broken and 20 day moving average broken, looking forward to an interesting week next week

Highly unlikely in my opinion, 1. Because they have enough funding with current cash and the 170 million loan facility to cover liabilities 2. They’ve made absolutely no attempt to rose tint the current position. Cash raise potentially this year if the share price is high enough, But we’ll see. I’m looking forward to the forward looking statement in Q2, we should get indications of how Vantage is selling and updated DBX. Vantage seems to have gone down extremely well from what I’ve seen.
