More power and a revised transmission make driving Aston Martin’s stunning ragtop almost as pleasurable as gazing at it.

John LeBlanc John LeBlanc Score Pending 2010 Aston Martin DB9 Coupe

The 2010 DB9 is the most complete and thoroughly engineered Aston Martin grand touring coupé ever. Add to the mix its exquisite interior and real-world driving capabilities, the DB9 stands out as one the great GTs of our time.

The car is gorgeous. The interior is art. The stereo is brilliant. The driving is terrific. The soundtrack is perfect, and always played at the perfect volume. For the rest we could use The Supermodel Excuse, but we won’t. We don’t need to.

What you get for your $209K is a fine example of a motor car that is elegantly appointed, as fast as blazes, and is the ultimate toy for somebody who needs to have something like this.

Aston has produced a subtle package of well-judged upgrades for the DB9, still the consummate sporting GT. With Ferrari crashing Aston’s party next year, it’ll be interesting to see if the DB9 stays at the head of the pack.

Staff Review Edmunds.com 7.8 out of 10 2009 Aston Martin DB9 Coupe

Not that it comes as a shock, but this 449-hp, V12-powered DB9 is a rather fun automobile. The bellowing exhaust and voluptuous low-end power can make this civilized tourer into a heathenish beast with just a touch of the throttle.

Staff Review AutoWeek 8.5 out of 10 2009 Aston Martin DB9 Convertible

This is a great car to drop the top and enjoy a summer evening cruise. With a comfortable interior, nearly 500 horses underhood and decent sound system, what more could one ask for in his or her $200,000 investment? Other than a deed.

These latest tweaks provide real lustre to the DB9, broadening its appeal as a GT and adding bite to its ultimate performance. An already desirable car just got that bit more desirable.

The DB9 is an absolutely stunning car, possibly the best car that Aston Martin have ever built. Its that good.

The handling takes the shine off what is otherwise a much improved 2009 Aston Martin DB9, one that now has the interior to match the price tag.

It may not look quite as hot as the DBS, but this DB9 drew more than a few looks around Los Angeles and everyone who inspected the car up close loved the exterior.
