    Aston Martin Launches its First SUV

      ...Broad range of capability from sportscar dynamics to off-road versatility...

    Aston Martin has unveiled their DBX SUV in Beijing China.  This is the first SUV in the brand's 106-year history. It is being build at a new plant in Wales that is part of Aston Martin's second century rebirth plan. 

     The DBX uses a bonded aluminum construction method to help keep weight down. At 4,949 lbs., it's relatively light weight for a full-size V8 powered luxury SUV.  An adaptive triple chamber air springs allow the DBX to raise ride height by 45mm or lower by 50mm. This allows for versatility in terrain and handling, but also helps with getting into and out of the vehicle, or with vehicle loading.  The air ride system also allows for variable spring stiffness, combined with an electric anti-roll control system and adaptive dampers helps the DBX handle more like a sports car than an SUV.

    Powered by an new version of Aston Martin's 4-liter, twin-turbo V8, that is also found in the DB11 and Vantage, the 542 horsepower and 516 lb.-ft of torque V8 can propel the DBX from 0 to 62mph in 4.5 second and achieve a top speed of 181 mph. The engine feature cylinder deactivation to increase fuel economy. All-wheel drive is standard and the power gets to all 4 wheels through a 9-speed automatic. An active center differential plus electronic rear limited slip differential allows torque to be transferred front to rear and side to side on the rear axle. 

    The interior of the DBX, as expected, is a sumptuous place to spend your driving time. The cabin has been designed to accommodate the 99th percentile male and 5th percentile female provides class leading headroom and legroom. All of the seats are trimmed in full grain leather while the headliner and blind for the full panel sun room covered in Alcantara finish. Buyers can choose from wood, composite, and metal veneers to suit any taste. 

    A 10.25 inch screen sits flush in the center console while a 12.3 inch. Apple Car Play is standard as well as a 360-degree camera system and ambient lighting with 64 colors. 

    The starting MSRP for the DBX in the U.S. is $189,900 with deliveries expected to start in late spring 2020.

    @A Horse With No Name Amazing how crazy Koreans have gone for Body Building which was huge in the 70's and 80's here.

    Men and Woman, everyone wants that perfect body.

    I follow HYO_1013 or hyonybee on Instagram. She used to work for Dell as a sales rep, left and became 3 years ago a top competitor in Female Body Building in Korea.

    Maybe not Korean this guy, but an '80s icon martial artist and actor.  Buff AF

    All 3 have 1 thing in common:

    MARTIAL ARTS

    Perfect body, perfect mind happens when this discipline is practiced.   Koreans have their own style of martial arts.  Taekwondo I believe it is. 

    One question?   

    Koreans,  @David only now have come to adopt "perfect bodies"?   Body building being the catalyst?  A western (Ancient Greek actually) thing and not from the influence of martial arts being an eastern thing?

    Interesting...

    Asian rim seems to run 40 years behind the US in that regards as only the last decade has Japan and China also gotten into body building big time.

    Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan need to work on those chests. Way to flat man. :)

    Maybe flat, but can kick your ass upside down and sideways.

    Those pecs are : muscles super cut from their own body's weight.  No "bodybuilding" weightlifting, tearing up and healing, coming back stronger and bigger pecs, but from training and practicing martial arts. Push ups, pull ups, sit ups, running, hitting objects, hitting other humans and getting hit back and meditation.

    Also, big pecs and huge python biceps, aside from steriod use, is determined from genetics and asian men, for the most part,  are usually less huge in the pecs and biceps than say...Aryan men, such as yourself.   Aryan men are huge goliaths naturally. Add a slight touch of free weights to that and Aryan men become...monoliths.   LOL

    Besides, huge muscles negate flexibility and speed, and martial arts is all about the flexibility and speed.  Which is more important than being big.

    Yeah, my kids in high school were big into martial arts. Badass little chic, about 4-10 and 85 pounds was a badass little fighter. She and my 6-2 son used to really enjoy fighting each other.

      One can hope At this point it is a done deal, I want to retire elsewhere and never see this country ever again. Politics is a waste of time because Trump and current policies are what and who a large percentage of America really is.  So I vote keep the politics out. I love Maya, and agree I plan on keeping my paid off truck. Maybe I can make it to retirement, and retire somewhere that I don't need a car.  That is sort of my hope at the moment.

      Genesis News: Genesis debuts a Long Wheelbase G90 Black Edition

      By Robert Hall · Posted

      It's one of those tiresome, overdone trends...like black wheels or gray houses with black window trim.  I'd assume the LWB G90 has a demand in S. Korea.      In a world full of dull CUVs and SUVs, though,  it is nice to see someone making a full size sedan...the LWB version has a 132.7 inch wheelbase.

      Genesis News: Genesis debuts a Long Wheelbase G90 Black Edition

      By smk4565 · Posted

      All black to me is a lack of style and design.  It shows no creativity or imagination, it is just lazy to make everything 1 color.  Also I am tired of this gloss black trim trend on the outside and inside of cars, "paint black" fingerprint magnet center consoles. They don't really sell many of these G90s, did they need to make an extended version?  Do they even sell in China where they are buying EV's and buying local more and more?

      I understand @Drew Dowdell 's concern regarding politics in this forum. But, what gets me, is that too many Americans are afraid to engage in 'politics'. Its like some sort of taboo.  Rule #1:  Do not talk about Fight Club politics Rule #2:  DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB  POLITICS What is politics anyway? politics: derived from an ancient  GREEK word politika which means "affairs of the cities".   Polis is city in GREEK. Politikos in ancient and in modern Greek means of or relating to citizens which in turn there is another GREEK word politis which is citizen. Politics in English refers to the governance of an area.  And "governance" includes all kinds of stuff and ideas. And those stuff and ideas are governed by and to the people of that area. Much like that original Greek word and idea where the English word and idea comes from.   Politics is not taboo. Politics has been made taboo by those above us governing us to control us by simply telling us not to engage in politics.  To not share ideas.  To not talk about politics. I was asked to answer a question about caring. Caring about politics and about caring regarding our political landscape of our lands of where we reside and call home/home country. We also use an example to not talk about politics in these forums as an escape from the real world.  Because politcs are real tough. Yeah well...Ive defined politics in another thread in these here forums to which I just copy/pasted again. I also said in that thread in these here forums that we simply cannot escape politics.  We cannot.  And we have to care about politics.  Because caring about politics is caring for your community, for your well being for yourself in your community and for your fellow neighbours.  And as a WHOLE to progress and evolve and not devolve. Too many entities in the U.S. right now only want to MUZZLE information regarding politics and are only interested in spreading mis and dis information for not the greater good of the majority of the people but for benefit of a very select few. Simply stated: I simply REFUSE to be muzzled to talk about politics. I will continue to post articles that refute mis and dis information. Since the last time I posted in here, the current President of the United (HA!) States of America has gone  tariff wild. On and off and on and off only to put on more tariffs on foreign cars including those from Canada only to retreat that statement from cars coming from Canada that have at least a 50% American content in them and so forth and so forth. The problem lies that automotive treaties have been signed by Canada and the US regarding 60 years ago. This current deall at least.  The excuse being that President in charge wants to build the American automotive industry again. *SIGH* Mis and dis information Trump also has imposed tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium.  *SIGH* GM and Ford of AMERICA uses Canadian steel and aluminium because the US simply cannot produce enough. *SIGH* All those factories that NEED to be built, where will Ford and GM get their steel and aluminum from? Canada? Russia? Trump keeps on saying that the US does not need Canada. But Canada needs to be American state #51   There is so much bullshyte from Trump  just from this single scenario that if Americans do NOT talk about politics, Trump and the powers that enable Trump will be duping Americans for a loooooonnnng time.  This rant ends. But Ill be back for mor political informing as it is MY duty to keep you informed.
