    The reason the doors swing up when you open them is in order for the door to clear the curb should there be one. Smart engineering and gives the car a look almost like a raptor starting to take flight.....

    The doors open up like that to ensure that you never bump it on some pesky little kerb. This looks elegant while keeping the door's paint and finish intact. These doors are called Swan doors.

    Bill, i recently discovered your channel. Love your automotive knowledge and your sarcastic sense of humor with the mega sighs. I went back to your first video, a 2011 e350 from about 4 years ago. You were so polite and proper i thought “sounds like Bill but doesn’t do a video like Bill.”
    Then you climbed in the car And it started beeping at you and you went off. Lmao. “There ‘s Bill.” Anyway, love your videos and i’ll keep watching them from Where ever you do them.

    In case anyone missed the point; That was a tour-de-force review by Bill. That's the state of the art. No one does it better. Reminds me of what Russel Crowe said after he trashed the entire Coliseum in Gladiator; "Are you entertained~!??" You bet we are. Unabashedly and shamelessly entertained. Now, having watched both AH and AE of Naples for several years, I have to say, I hope you can still find-review-sell some of the more affordables that we loved to see at AE. Best to you and the new crew in Naples.

I remember he commented that the design of the rear of Astons was not very striking, and so he wanted to make the bootlid, taillights etc more visually appealing.

    I just stumbled upon the fact that this is the same property as in the videos from MaryAnn from Autohaus of Naples. You guys have a decent car culture and great Autohauses! Technically speaking isn't a DB9 Volante? In Europe you can buy one of these in decent condition for under 30.000 Euros, which is great value for a relatively reliable V12 Aston Martin sportscar. I love the design and think that it aged rather beautiful.
