    This DB12 volante look's glorious in brown to me. I actually prefer the looks of Volante with the roof up than the Coupe. The rear deck sits better as a convertible. What with the fabulous new interior and Supercar performance , I'll defo take this over a Conti GT or Roma.......Excellent job Aston Martin
