@@holeefok3158The use of British Racing Green dates back to 1903. The British racers adopted Ireland's green because when it was their turn to host the Gordon Bennett Cup, motor racing on public roads was illegal in Great Britain, so they hosted the race in Ireland instead. The colours of the flag of the United Kingdom already have been reserved by other nations, the British adopted green as a mark of respect towards Ireland for hosting the event and then they stuck with it.

There is more for the driver and it is as much about luxury as performance. The other cars in its class are more obbesesd with performance and tech. Or crazy lines with the body much more of a fight when driving for more than 30 mins. Yes it is expensive…
The most obvious way to distinguish it from the DB11 is that huge grille. No way you missed it. I'm impressed. This really feels like a proper Aston Martin with its luxury and sportiness on a GT. Not a V12, but still amazing.

With the recent trend of having luxury and sports cars with huge grilles, I think Aston Martin did it best. It looks stupid on Lexus, it looks really stupid on BMW... But for Aston it kinda stands where you want it. Not too much into your face yet the distinguished look is still there.

This felt like a classic Doug Review. The squeeze in the back seat brought a smile to me 100%
Fun fact: Whenever Doug advertises Cars & Bids before reviewing a new car, he showcases auctions of cars of the same type as the reviewed car. For instance, Before the DB12 review there were auctions of supercars.

Old school style Doug Demuro review like this is ❤ The backseat test, the plebeian sarcasm! It’s back ❤
This was the video that I've been the most excited for aside from cars like the Aston Martin Valkyrie and Ferrari 812 Comp. The DB12 is a massive step forward for Aston Martin and I can see some impressive things coming from the brand in the very near future.
A good old, typical DDM review! I loved it, thanks! Keep it up 😁
This engine bay is far less sexy than its predecessor's. BUT... what a gorgeous car ! And I like that the screen is not protruding like crazy on the dashboard, keeping it clean. Great improvement on the interior, compared to the DB11. I'm falling in love with Aston Martin all over again.
This car looks so great! And it feels also great! especially in the Interior, i checked it out at the local Aston Martin dealer, absolutely perfect. The Exterior is also beautiful, the Db11 elements looking still pretty good.

I’m not an expert but the car has multiple cameras taking a live feed from all angles. Then they’re stitched together. Gets adjusted to look like it’s a top-down view. That’s why when you’re standing at the edge of the 360 view you get stretched. But u should do ur own research as I previously mentioned I’m not an expert

Hey Doug, Thanks again for a good review! I commented last time and hopefully this gets more upvotes this time - please include a section, even if a couple of sentences, on the audio quality of the speaker system in a car. Would be appreciated!
Thanks for this review Doug. I’ll take three of these.
Great review. I'm praying 5 million subs for you soon.
Nice review. Superb car. Would also be great to see the car in action on the road, a simply drive-by for example, as opposed to just an interior shot of Doug speaking
Thanks for the Rev clip Dougy
Really impressed this sports luxury Aston. Really a big step up on the interior with tech especially. This will probably be a winner
This is my new favourite car. Thanx doug
Doug is OUTSIDE !🎉🎉🎉
Doung in the back seat again! The legend!!
I loved the voice over. Not sure why but way better than in person talking
I love Astons and this one looks amazing but it's definitely better to wait and buy them used because they they get into reasonable Prices within about a Year. Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
I know your new concrete bunker is a lot more convenient to film cars, but it lacks the pleasing visual component that comes with making content intended to be watched. Great review and great car! Thanks Doug!
The way Doug says Soooooo is the same as Chuck D from the first PE record in the song So Sophisticated.
Doug, a man of culture, listening to AFI.
I’ve been waiting for this
Thank you Doug for filming again in exteriors! The sun light makes a great difference! Please don't make more videos in the dark garage 🙏
Rimac did the infotainment and battery for Valkyrie. I wouldnt be surprised if they did the infotainment for the DB12 as well. I see AML have also managed to get the AMG engine to sound like one of their own, it sounds great.
@DougDeMuro the "Final Inspection" plate under the hood on modern Astons refers to the entire car's final inspection, not the person who built the engine. This is made more confusing by where they have chosen to mount this plate on the newer cars, but if you ever get a chance to do the factory tour at Gaydon, they explain this.
A quite interesting and informative review as we always anticipate from you sir and I highly appreciate it. But being a tire geek I have something to say about @5:31 it is a Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 not 5 S and the lettering AML means that it is specifically developed for Aston Martin cars. Thus, when a tire deteriorates the owner has no choice but the dealership to source it.
beautiful interior and exterior. i like they didnt put screens everywhere like german cars, but have buttons and they look amazing
Yes! Squeezing into backseats again! Haven't seen that in a loonngg time!
The color spec is stunning.
Absolute Doug classic right here!
DOUG Top Ten Idea: If you were going to drive a car from California to the East Coast and back, what car would you pick at different price points? Start with under $10,000 and finish with over $1 million.... I'ld think something like under 10k, 20k, 35k, 50k, 75k, 150k, 350k, 700k, under 1 million and over 1million.
That paint job is amazing!
My 1987 Sterling 825SL also had the hood latch in the same place for the same reason.
I love this car. (not that color mind you....). Hard to beat Aston exterior design and now decent tech inside
Car looks beautiful in everything aside dashboard. For me thats how it was in DB11 or actual 911 fits this car so much better than just a flat screen
Nice to see an old school review!
The audio quality is the most Doug thing ever 😂
Doug, we love you Doug
The interior is absolutely gorgeous (especially compared to the DB11). Minus the gloss black it would be perfect. Volkswagen has the Smart Climate for years and I love it and use it quite frequently, nice to see these features also in upscale cars that where years behind previously.
That color is amazing!!!!💚
Doug trying the backseat plus a voice over take while reviewing the car brings back old Doug reviews of 2017-2019 before his current style. Please bring back music in the background while opening and closing the top in convertibles.
Would like to pick on Doug's 1 quirk about the car. The lever to bonnet opener is on the passenger side not because Aston Martin didn't borther BUT because it's apparently it's the same for right hand drive cars too. I am currently test driving Aston Martins and I noticed it being on the passenger side for both Rapide & DB9.
After everybody called Doug out in one of those last two seater car reviews for not sitting in the back seat he did it here. Doug is awesome!
Good to see you standing outdoors and reviewing great cars Doug! 🍀🌳🌲🌤️
The dial RINGS the stop-start button... "rims" is something else bro
