A sound-system (of any description) in that car or the V8 Vantage is IMHO superfluous. The cabin noise in the coupe with that engine is too high and too good to have any involved music listening experience.

There’s also enough going on with the primary controls (steering wheel, brakes, accelerator and gear-shift) that you won’t really want to be bothered seeing what all the buttons on the centre console do anyway. Set climate to “Auto” and get on doing what you need to do with that machine.

Another little man pursuing his attention-span deficit with the want of gadgets and features, when the main and privileged event is wrapped all around him.

Hi expoman,

Thx for sharing this article.

Good to know LEE did the full B&O Aston Martin DBS review for BEOWORLD.

What words would the writer Dan Neil use in his opinion about the Corvette dash and controls?

Regards, Robert

Aston Martin DBS Volante

(Aston Martin)

The interior is beautifully constructed and highly imperfect. The audio and climate controls and LCD display are pathetic for this caliber of sports car, and the dashboard LCD navigation panel is dated and not all that user-friendly.

Full review. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-neil28-2009aug28,0,6264818.column

Dan Neil the writer does not even mention the Bang & Olufsen sound system even though you can see the pop-up speakers in the photo?
