Well done for Aston for putting an engineer out there instead of the usual polo-necked design wankery we normally get subjected to.
That's a Euro thing. Just like those hilarious & trite Euro-pop adverts of the cars driving through cities at night or out in the mountains/countryside with that God-awful accompanying dialogue.
”Polo-necked design wankery” Funniest YT comment I’ve read in a while!😂😂😂
LOL, great description!
The CZcams comment of the day goes to..... 😂
I came to the comments to compliment Harry on his questions and also Simon on his in depth answers.
You however put it much more eloquently 😂
What a beautiful looking car. Aston Martin really have knocked this out the park.
Sarcasm?
Overall it looks good, but i'm really not a fan of the black rear diffuser. There's too much going on there.
Just a facelift.
I bet Aston are going to miss Daniel 007 Craig driving and promoting their cars, (I hope the next James Bond is also a car lover)
The front is a fish and the rear looks like a sad face
11:05 SOMEBODY LISTENED!!! Hope more car makers do this.
@@Neo_LV69 ...as they always have?
@MisterLovaLova I agree with your sentiment, but I blame Gen Y rather than the manufacturers. They're only making what their customers demand. Just like Gen Z's first question about any product is, "can I operate it using my phone?", Gen Y's first question is, "how big's the screen?" It's why Teslas have been so successful.
@@Neo_LV69 people constantly complain about how everything is so high tech and digital. Depending on constant flow of electricity. Because that´s gonna break one day and you have to switch the entire screen, consol or control unit.
Changing a cheap (not 5k, what are you on about?) button or a switch every once in a while, is 100% more preferable.
@@Neo_LV69 utter nonsense. whole point of buttons is that they are always in the same place, you don't need to take your eyes off the road as your muscle memory knows where they are. if they wear out, then they're made from cheap materials. Manufacturers went to screens to save money, and accommodate more advanced features. Fine for using a screen to adjust some infrequently used setting, but for Hvac, audio, seat heating etc buttons are way better. So kudos to Aston here for doing the right thing, that customers actually want. Not everyone wants a cheap, rubbish interior like a Tesla where they even have got rid of column stalks...
@@r0smor can't believe everything is those darn millennials fault again
Pleased I'm not the only one that can see some of the One-77 in the front. It's definitely a handsome vehicle!
One 77 DNA beautiful
Because it is! The same grille, the same air intake behind the front wheel, the same proportions.
But in principle I don’t think it’s bad. One 77 is one of the best cars.
Harry mentioned this towards the end of the video, I can see it as well.
@@Jay-tc9on Henry mentioning it is why I left the comment I did.
I see the new amg-gt in the front 🤷🏻
Trolling us with the midnight release! Embargo be damned, 5pm Harrys Garage gets me through the weekly ironing pile!
Embrago?😂
My thoughts exactly , when is he going to test a Spectre , not seen any RR reviews for a while think the last was the Phantom 🤔
The new Aston looks amazing, not quite the colour I would pick. More importantly, what proper bloke irons.
@@lrcb40 Its a dedicated sub brand of Bburago for Aston Martin model collectors in 1:18 scale ☺️
@@spizzenergi2292 think you might find blokes in the forces hv to do their own ironing...😎
Coming from a prior owner of a 2021 Vantage, this thing is EXCITING! This fixes so many things that I didn’t like about my Vantage. And this front end is stunning! The interior 🤯 I. WANT.
On another note, I very much look forward to your videos - this is no exception. Enough depth and information without being boring. Great one!
I normally start to glaze over on this type of video due to the assault on my senses by the information overload and the corporate design engineer "selling" the new car but this was DIFFERENT. Harry asking all the right questions and Simon clearly lived, breathed and loved his part in this cars development. He knew the answer to absolutely any question Harry could come up with and his replies were interesting, enthusiastic, detailed but above all else understandable. Great bloke and an asset to Aston Martin. Thank you.
Here here!!🎉
These cars inhabit a world that I don't live in, but I can appreciate their stunning technological achievements...and beautifully filmed too Charlie.
Super Car v Super Bowl today…
Harry has the (ad)Vantage 😊
Good one, lol
Front wonderful. Retaining rear design clever. Finally an Aston I want to want. Not just respect. Brute beauty
Why do I like the rear much more than the last one while not being able to tell a difference?
@@timonxDlol think resolves whole design !!! Hence the rear rump becomes
Ace.
“Looks like a proper Aston” - couldn’t have said better. Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Very informative video - yet again! 👍
This design will still look good in 50 years, AM really nailed it with this one
Absolutely stunning & no fake vents, nicest design from AM since the DB7.
LMAO WHAT???
Not sure about DB7 part, but the Aston beauty is definitely back
@@arielatom03 Sorry, I’ll translate:
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING & NO FAKE VENTS, NICEST DESIGN FROM AM (THAT’S AN ABBREVIATED, SORRY, SHORT VERSION OF ASTON MARTIN) SINCE THE DB7. HTH.
@@brendanrobinson4739 it was a rhetorical question
@@arielatom03 My bad, rhetorical questions aren’t normally so CAPS LOCK heavy, in my experience. 😉
Big improvement. Aston are on a roll!
Sadly this doesnt reflect on my stocks lol
Engine is AMG
Drivetrain is AMG
Infotainlent is AMG
Electronics is AMG
Back looks like the old one
Front looks like the one 77
Not bad I guess
This so much better looking than the last Vantage. The DB11 still looks better than the DB12 though..
@@gregkollaeg2365 Engine and drivetrain are both the same thing. That and what's wrong with the 4.0 AMG V8 it's extremely reliable very powerful Aston Martin has applied its own tune to it. AM no longer uses ancient Mercedes infotainment that and they build their own electronics/chassis tuning. So wrong in pretty much every way.
@@teabagtowers3823wow, they changed very little things in the soft ware. 😂
Engine is AMG
Gear box is ZF
Suspension is Bilstein
They used Ford electeonics than Volvo than Mercedes and now the worst ther own? 😂
Great video Harry….👍 How refreshing to see an interview with an engineer intimately involved in the cars development. No fluff, no patter, just straight well-reasoned answers to your questions….👏 (Oh and a beautiful looking Aston too….!)
What a looker.. That would be one of the best 'facelift' I've ever seen on a car, such an A+ homework. Just changed the car appearence completely. Bravo Aston DP.
Painting the body piece under the grill is what made this look better
They finally figured it out
signature aston headlights help too
Dare I say... Harry and Charlie are the team that make up the "Voice Of Motorsport". Thank you for the great content.
I'm impressed that AM have been so quick to rectify the design and interior gripes that affected DB11 and Vantage sales in the past few years. The latest batch of cars since DBX are so desirable.
Any chance of a less manic inline-6 version for us sub-plutocrats, say 500bhp? I know Mercedes has a rather nice one knocking around in the E-class and CLS. It'd be very Aston.
Great idea, keeping the spirit of Tadek Marek alive!
They use the Mercedes inline 6 on the chinese market DBX, they should consider putting it in this "base" Aston, similar to Bentley's V8 & W12 engine choices
What a superb vid. The combination of Harry - who clearly knows his stuff - and the engineer from Aston resulted in a hugely informative and insightful piece. Thank you.
That looks absolutely fantastic 😍
Mega. Even colour growing as watch video. Needs be grey or black for lines tho surely. Brute
The front end is proper one-77esque. This and db12 will do no favours for their predecessors' residual value.
@@howarddavies136 hugely true. The car company cannot get out of its own way to make money. They produce great cars but don't make money
damn that’s a good looking car
Fantastic. They have nailed the front now. I always loved the rest of it but I thought the front was weak but not now. Love it. Thank you Harry.
It looks like a Mini One-77 I love it!
More like a rounded one 77
Thankfully, at last, Aston Martin have rethought the idea of taking bonnet/hood styling cues from Mazda and has 'found' itself again. Superb.
What r u talking about? What hood bonnet queues did they take from mazda. That woulda been a good thing if they copied the new miata. The new miata rf is one of the best looking cars of all time. The old one looked nothing like the miata it was just ugly
From hints of Mazda, to just reskinning a Mercedes. You can see the architecture of the AMG GT everywhere.
Not a positive move for me
@@SuperBaconbutty 🤣 Reskinned Mercedes! Give me a break, it is an Aston! Only thing Mercedes is the engine and engine management. Wise guys tried to make the same claim about the last Aston, it was a reskinned GT. Not even close!😂🤣😂
This has to bomb the prices of the previous Vantage. This looks 1000% better
Cues...
Oh my. Now it's finally a mature vision. Nailed it. 🥰
This is the best looking Aston Martin for years.. looks like a compact One -77
Harry struggling to tame his Semi, as he walked around that one.
Looks an epic car and nice to hear someone with such an in depth level of knowledge of the car.
Proper Aston now. Great looking car!
Wow! That looks stunning 🤩
Have to say this is the best looking modern Aston I have seen. If cars were only sold on looks this would never be out of production.
Geeky promised, geeky delivered. No clickbait on this channel😊
Loving it❤
I was wondering whether we should miss an episode of “Harry’s Garage” this sunday.
Are you sure that’s the new one Harry? I like when you asked is it heavier and the reply was “no it’s neutral plus a little bit 😂”
Great detailed coverage. Much more informative than just reading out the spec sheet! Looking forward to when you get to drive it in a couple of months time.
STUNNING!!! Thank you for that deep dive. I really appreciated the deliberate choices that were made for this car. Definitely gives me hope for the future of cars for the enthusiast.
I do love that Harry's vid managed to drop before EVO's. Uncanny that!
So good makes an Emira look like a Fiesta. Love love Emira too. Well done Aston.
What does that even mean?
@@mitchellsteindler He's confused 😉
Honestly I think this doesn’t look (emphasis look) a price bracket above the Emira, and that’s not this car’s fault either.
This has nothing on the beautiful, svelte Emira IMO.
This isn't bad, but just looks likes the old car with more creases and vents.
Great video, Harry. something to cheer us up on a cold Monday morning. Well done
Well done Aston it looks absolutely stunning
Great touch having the engineer on what a great guy
Very much looking forward to your test drive!
I used to do the pest control at Aston Martin in the mid 2000’s. I was always amazed how clean and organised the factory was / is. The attention to detail is outstanding.
Can´t wait to hear it....did you see the smile in Simon´s face when you asked about the sound...great
Simply awesome!
Nothing else to add!
Well done Harry!
Engineers talking about their projects is the best. Thanks and all the best
Stunning and in a gorgeous color too
Incredible video. Such an amazing level of detail
Wonderful vantage. Seems like a great design and put customer thoughts into their plans for the car. Thanks Harry for using your connections and bringing Simon along for the talk.
Absolutely beautiful car and another great video Harry.
Stayed up for this!
Legends are often way out in front of good! Your Indepth details and what they mean is what makes you special! The best vantage yet and as always the best review!
Excellent engineering presentation as always, yet understandable by many ordinary folks. Keep up the great work Harry
Dayum..that is a stunning car. Wow
Wow, Aston Martin are back in the car game!!!
That was brilliant work, Harry. This car sounds like a real gem.❤️🏆😉
Awesome! Can’t wait to see it In person and drive it. Looks amazing!
Finally, the new interior looks fantastic
Beautiful…. Vantage looks ready to devour Harry as he talks!
Enjoyed the technical discussions
Stunning car, great to get the full fat technical insight from a key team member.
It's beautiful.
impressed , and seems like a massive improvement over the previous vantage just like db11 to db12. Except I can’t unsee Ford puma from the front headlights . An improvement over the mx5 looking prev gen ones but why couldn’t they just use a smaller version of the db12 headlights ?
outstanding Video. Thank you...This whip is so sick. love that color.
Understandably, I haven’t seen Harry so excited to discover a new car for a loooong time. This car is gorgeous.
That’s a pretty car! Can’t wait for your review. Good chat with someone who can give meaningful answers 👍🏻
Thank you. Not a single wasted word and all fascinating. A magnificent car, and the colour works too.
Amazing car.
Impressed by Simon knowledgeable and easy to follow presentation
Best car channel on CZcams
I think that is a slam dunk for Aston. Stunning. I loved the first generation Vantage (which I was lucky to drive), couldn't get on with the looks of the last generation, but this new one is awesome. Looking forward now to seeing when Harry gets to drive it, shame it's such a wait!
Great job on camera and editing for allowing the car to be shown in 360 view and not having the fellas in front of it to not allow us viewers not having a proper view of the car unlike other channels that just don't get it. Thank you,
Excellent video and great looking car. So much fascinating information. I will have to watch it again to better understand or confirm my ignorance! Brilliant Harry thank you!
Can’t wait for you to get it out on the open road.
Excellent review as always from Harry's Garage..!!!
That is so beautiful. The best looking Aston in recent years. Well done AM!
Thought this was going to be a boring one but 20 minutes flew by 👏
Thank you for saving the Vantage with this update design 🔥 🔥Previous model was just too meh looking
Only American watching Harry’s Garage right now…. When do pitchers and catchers report? Soon please?
There’s 2 of us sir 😁
I’m viewing from Austin, TX
Canada here, baseball this month.
How would you possibly know a thing like that?😂
viewing from nyc
Looks amazing, even better in this video compared to the pictures I saw yesterday. Looks incredible with that level of power and performance. I want one. This and the DB12 are really stunning. I would have a hard time choosing which one to go for!
That's a cracking looking car
This is a huge improvement to the appearance of the front end. It's much Much Better than the (over the top) initial styling of the grill.
Annnnnd... they even toned down the side vents. Thank You! 😁
Bravo 👏🏾👍🏾👊🏾
WOW the Vantage looks amazing 🤩
THE most professional car company presenter (Director of Performance) I've heard! (except Christian von Koenigsegg)
So much knowledge and sincerity and no sale BS! What a value for the company to have him on the team!
The 2024 Vantage really seems like a really big upgrade, marvelous!
Ten times better, just with those headlights alone. When this design of Vantage first came out, like many people, I was underwhelmed by its looks compared to the previous version. Those squinting headlights never worked. Looks like a proper Aston should. now.
Sort of Jaguar F-Type looking....
Beautiful machine... Excellent interview by thee Harry. Great engineer with clear and concise answers! Much respect ✊🏿 from Angola 🇦🇴.
Fantastic video and an incredible Aston Martin 👌🏼
The first time in a long time, I've actually WANTED an Aston.
OMG Harry, that car is gorgeous! That is definitely a 'proper' Aston my friend! I would say that Simon and his team have nailed it!
I'm also curious, Harry if us tall guys can fit under that roofline? I'm 6'5".
Exactly what I thought they would do slap the face and interior of the DB12 on it
Really nailed the looks!
Good looking car 😮 made my Monday cheers Harry 😊
Harry, your presentation was immaculate and rather impeccable.
Yes, colour
It looks stunning, I just hate that front radar really ruins the grille
Very nice indeed, thanks Harry.
What a fabulous achievement! Some big numbers... the 2006 Vantage clearly visible in it's heritage. Wow!
Too bad the camera was not on Newton when at 10:35 you note: "You still have the torture seats." He furrowed his brow earlier when you said it's the same engine as the DB12, he must have scowled at "torture."
It's good that Harry takes these ppl out of their bubble and into reality, commenting on real world ownership experience. I wouldnt want to be negotiating those seats every time. Simon did say I am just the oily bits guy so maybe they should hv had another guy on there too. Basically what this is is the design prep for the new GT3 cars IMHO...
Now that is one gorgeous badass looking car
Very nice update
Wow, this is a massive improvement, I love it!
I am convinced that Simon is a decent guy and he definitely knows what he's doing.
Gorgeous - interior is lovely too, been waiting a long time to say that about an Aston - love the tactile buttons
