This week, though, Jay Leno reviews his recent purchase of a 2009 Aston-Martin DBS. At 3480lbs, it’s a surprisingly light car (less than the new M3 or the C63 AMG) especially considering the fact that it packs a 6.0L V12 that puts out 510HP. With a standard 6-speed transmission (transaxle no-less to keep the weight balanced), it’s a real drivers car so its not like those new sissy-Ferraris with their sequential flappy-paddle gearbox. Let’s be honest though, when buying a car like this, ambiance and class strongly enter into the reasons you consider such a ride. With it’s drop-dead looks and amazing cache, the Aston-Martin is James Bond’s car for a reason. Sleek and mean looking, the DBS has menacing look that people LOVE, yet keeps it’s proportions in such a way that the car still looks like it could raise hell on a road course.

For all those who were fans of the Astons of old, cutting edge suspension technology like double-wishbones all around, electronic dampening and anti-squat/anti-dive management sound more like they should be on a Ferrari or BMW than a “proper English drivers car.” However, the tour-de-force of technology, driver’s interaction and experience, racy interior and real race-cred from the motorsports program means this is one of the most sought after sports cars in the world. Check out what Jay has to say about the car below (and don’t forget to turn it up when he lays the hammer down):

And some sweet desktop porn to keep you distracted from work:

1. Hybrids, Electric Batteries, and Hydrogen Fuel Cells – The progress being made with alternative powered cars is significant. They may not be making an impact tomorrow, but they will come sooner than later.
2. Smarter Rides – From fuel displacement systems to collision avoidance software, the technology we are wielding these days is astounding, and making the roads safer every day.
3. Coolness Factor – New cars these days are looking damn good. Not to mention the nifty features that continue to make the driving experience more enjoyable.
4. Automakers Responding Quickly to the Market – If the SUV market had tanked 10 years ago, Detroit’s car makers would have been extremely slow to react. Today, Ford has already said it will cut production and avoid building SUVs that the dealers will not be able to sell.
5. The final reason to feel good about the car buying industry, is without a doubt a self plug, but I think a valid one. EasyAutoSales.com is embracing the internet’s social presence in a way that other car classifieds sites are not. These days, with Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, FriendFeed, and many many more, the web of connection cast by an individual across the web is nothing short of remarkable. Imagine if you could use that massive social network to help you buy and sell cars. EasyAutoSales.com is integrating itself into this web 2.0 phenomenon , and the car buying industry will be better for it.

What makes you feel good about the car buying industry (or bad for the matter if you think this is all a crock of ….)?

ATLANTA, Georgia, April 24, 2008 — Easy Autos LLC, Georgia’s fastest growing web 2.0 automotive startup, is pleased to announce the beta launch of EasyAutoSales.com; a free-to-list automotive classified for private sellers and dealerships to sell new and used cars.

EasyAutoSales.com combines free automotive listings with advance technologies to help sellers and dealerships track online activities and identify potential leads.

“Ten years ago, online classifieds revolutionized traditional classifieds by replacing the 1-inch column ads found in print newspapers with more pictures and descriptions. However, with increasing competition online for user attention, dealers now need better and more cost effective ways to reach internet users than simply paying for distribution on select websites.” says Wei Yang, CEO and co-founder of EasyAutoSales. “EasyAutoSales.com will allow sellers to engage and interact with prospective buyers and help sellers identify highly qualified leads amongst various online activities performed by today’s internet users. Our goal is to help sellers generate more interest for their vehicles or at the very least, advertise their used cars listings for free on the web.”

EasyAutoSales.com generously supports unlimited pictures and descriptions for all vehicles whether they are from auto dealers or private sellers. New or used car dealers using inventory management systems can easily request to have their inventory be sent to EasyAutoSales.com for inclusion in the online listings.

“We’ve talked to a number of auto dealers who are unhappy with annual price increases without proof of added value from existing online classifieds.” says Bryan Palmer, co-founder of EasyAutoSales.com. “Many dealers are eager to try something new that will help them shift metal – we are looking forward to being that solution.”
