Hagerty did a great job of picking up Henry. I imagine what happened was a top guy at Hagerty said he wanted Henry and didn't care what it would take to do so. Great decision.

I think that whoever got Jason Cammisa (or maybe it was just Jason himself), also got Henry. I have never seen Jason do a cameo in one of Henry's vids, but I think of Henry as the British version of Jason, he has the perfect personality for attracting British and European viewers and knows what they like/want, whereas Jason has the perfect personality to attract US viewers and knows the American market just as well as Henry knows his.

Henry is one of thee best presenters on KZread. I watched his Carfecrion channel religiously. Too many channels try to be over the top with humor to the point of exhaustion. Henry has a wit and dry sense of humor that is unparalleled, all while conveying the right amount of information.

One of my favorite presenters mentions one of my favorite books while driving one of my dream cars. Don't ever change Henry, you're one of the delicious details of life.

Thank you Hagerty for giving us Henry, the best automotive partnership ❤

KZread recommends a DB12 review, so I know Aston Martin must have handed out some press cars… so I search for Henry Catchpole and there it is! I am the champion of KZread!

Wow. Just unparalleled cinematography from the people at Hagerty. They made an already beautiful car present even better

I like buttons, switches and dials. Touch screens are good for phones, tablets and even computers. But when you're in control of a 4000 pound vehicle. You need to be able to reach over and change the radio or hvac without taking your eyes off the road. Can't do that with a touch screen.

Huge Henry Catchpole fan here too. There's just no substitute for old school journalism in the automotive world.

I’m kind of late to the whole Henry Catchpole party, but boy can he get a story across! Knowledgeable & eloquent! More please!👍👏👏👏😊

Henry speaks with such poetry. Love his takes and props to the cinematographer. Amazing job.

Thanks Mr. Wolverine... I still am amazed we get this level of content effectively for free. Thanks Hagerty and great review!

Very good review. Top notch video editing. Keep up with the good work Hag! 👍🏼

I would have like round lights in the rear as an homage of the DB5. It would have looked really nice on the DB12 I think.

@mirkomarjanovic3234

7 ай бұрын

Hmmm, I think that would be quite nice, actually.

Well, that's a mix of emotions. As usual with Henry's videos since former Carfection, they are an absolute pleasure to look at, for both the valuable information he gives of the car and also the beautiful landscapes of the locations chosen. Regarding the product itself, I feel pros and cons: it is a bit confusing being called DB...12 ! now that it has definitely lost the V12!, although it must be admitted that the V8 AMG may be a better option for weight distribution and the better handling and front axle agility that Henry feels. An outstanding pro is the deployment of buttons and the rotary dial, as Henry does not miss to point out; a huge bravo for this. On the other side, I can see that the gearshift paddles now turn with the steering wheel instead of being fixed tot the column, and although they are long enough to be found in most situations, I still think this is a rearwards step, shame!

I'd willingly pay to watch these amazing quality films at the cinema. Next one in IMAX PLEASE!

This is one of the best filmed and produced videos ina very very long time from any channel. Seriously one of the very best pieces of automotive video journalism ever recorded. Absolutely outstanding

I'm glad Aston is getting their act together. This is one brand i don't want to see fail. Very nice car.

This is how you present a new car. Superb presentation Hagerty

You take car reviews to a whole new level with your eloquence and knowledge. Thank you

Hagerty back at it again!

These videos are amazing. Henry and Cammisa are the crème de la crème. It's hard not to watch the videos coming from them, they're just so good. I hope Hagerty could manage some more views because this content is just amazing.

The name is Catchpole... Henry Catchpole... Very, very nice review. Beautiful shots. Thank you.

I can finally say that this content is better than any other automotive TV show in this moment.

Henry is by far the most enjoyable car journalist to listen to. Theres a certain class and feeling his narration and videos give that you cant find anywhere else

Good to see another awesome video with Henry again!

Another absolute top class video. Great intro love the look of the Aston Martin now the interior is on point and one of the best hosts out there, telling us all about it cracking job 👏

Always such a pleasure to see a HC video pop up and that Hagerty has recognized his incredible worth, in the automotive journalistic sphere. Now an OG. Thank you for including a quick shot of the cabin at night. It shows what an incredible advancement AM has made in an area that was so desperately in need of an evolution. Suddenly, the DB is desirable again.

Best car reviewer on the Internet. Insightful and fair--with a positive bent but not a manufacturer's toady . . . love his work.

Amazing. A movie, history lesson, a novel, a documentary all wrapped up in the guise of an automotive journalist’s impeccable deep dive into a new offering. Marvelous.

What a brilliant video, accompanied by detailed commentaries from an evidently very competent driver. Bravo Henry!

So glad I found you again Henry. Love your reports and observations.

I know I'll never own a car anything like this. But I do hope that someday I will at least be able to drive something this good so I can feel it for myself. I've only driven junk really. Except for the few nice cars I've gotten to drive at work. But they were customer cars so I had to be gentle with them.

Car, commentary, scenery and production values; excellent as always. Thank you.

This is reminiscent of those top gear/grand tour new car reviews. It’s sick!

Aston are under rated. Great video, Henry's reviews are always worth watching.

The standard by which we judge the others, another fantastic review. Thank you Mr Catchpole.

Great to see Henry again doing what he does best bring great cars for us 👍👍

Nothing like the latest Aston in a cinematic setting. Fingers crossed that the DB12 is everything we hope from AM - certainly looks/sounds like it's up there with the best.

Quite nice to see you back Henry! Best writer for car review and proving it again! Thanks

Damn it! I can't insure my car at Hagerty here but I want to just as a way to thank them for gathering Henry and Jason (and Anthony Esposito!!!) under one umbrella and giving them the opportunity to do THIS.

Epic car review Henry. Eye candy everywhere just the way we love it. Cheers

What a beuatifully thoughtful view of a car. Superb work.

Very good review. Top notch video editing

Came here first to see Henry cos he’s the best 👍 not a revolutionary at but brought up to date with the times. With the badge and the design you’d hope it would sell well. Altho that black square at the front end could be integrated better!

If Aston could sell only one coupe this would be it. Great job. Kudos

The DB12 sounds like an exciting blend of Aston Martin's elegance and Ferrari's performance flair! Combining the best of both these iconic brands must result in a car that's not only a pleasure to drive but also a marvel to behold. The idea of integrating elements from different top-tier manufacturers is fascinating. It's great to see innovation in the automotive world, constantly pushing boundaries and blending styles for unique and thrilling driving experiences. Can't wait to see more cars that offer such interesting fusions! 🚗💨✨

Lovely video Mr Catchpole but shouldn’t you have worn a Seamaster? 😜

Beautiful car and beautiful video. Seems like Aston Martin have produced an excellent car, and given how ridiculous the price of some other cars these days, I thought the price-point was quite good - it's all relative!

A review full of relevant information and reactions. I appreciate it. If I may offer one thought…I think the importance of engine note seems, in general, a bit over hyped these days and for this car, I don’t sense that it lacks in that regard. It sounds just good enough to present a strong muscular presence and yet does not cut into the level of comfort a GT car would need to hold. Being that the likely buyers of this car are more middle-aged or older, I think any more louder engine note would feel rather “raucous” as opposed to “sonorous.” The DB cars have always held the aura of a gentleman and this DB12 feels like it is perfectly suited for a modern gentleman. Well done, Aston Martin.

Finally Aston Martin has upgraded it's interior to what I'd expect from such a legendary sport car.

Thanks for this. Finally an Aston Martin that just looks terrific, in fact near perfect. I think all agree that Aston Martin had lost their way for over a decade and a half, but the DB12 has definitely bought back the glamour, luscious curves and I want that, feeling. Need to see DB12, as instrument binnacle looks a bit small, angle of screen re reflection, and is there a sun roof? Small queries for an otherwise superb car.

Super tourer? I believe you Henry coined the term when you reviewed McLaren 720s. 👌

Thank god I found you back again on the KZread Henry!

Sir Henry Cathcpole one of the legends of automotive journalism world.

Absolute quality. Thank you.

I always thought it was BMT 216 A? Either way, the DB12 shows Aston is on fine form at the moment. Great review Henry.

An absolute work of art! 👏🏼 Nice work Aston Martin.

I never purchased a DB11 due to the interior, this looks to rival Bentley for design, and Aston Leather is always superb...well done test drive coming

First impressions are it's gorgeous, like the DB11 but tweaked and better in basically every way. That interior, and especially the dash, isn't even comparable to the disaster they used to have. Love to see them focus just a bit more on the drive than the "golf club" market, I don't know how clever that is from a sales perspective but I love it. But the danger I see is that in moving further to the sporting side, and away from Bentley (who were always going to make the better luxury long distance cruiser), they're pushing closer to Ferrari and I don't think this is going to compete with the 812 as a touring supercar. I think I like the new positioning, I prefer a touring focused supercar to an extra sporty grand tourer

Great video, as always! 2 comments still. 1) "...a company that has a Formula One team" - not correct. It is Mr Stroll, who has a F1 team, which happens to have sponsorship agreement with AML. So AML does NOT have an F1 team, it just sponsors it. Very different set-up. 2) Does such "super tourer" type of car really need AML branded / specifically-developed tyre? It just adds to costs and complexity of ownership. When / where will the super tourer owner feel the difference vs. stock PS 5s? Gordon Murray's T.33 uses stock tyres as deliberate choice to avoid the extra pains and he knows a thing or two about high performance cars.

Finally the interior matches the exterior beauty.

Thanks for getting Henry...The best decision anyone could do

Simply beautiful video
