The paddle shift in the DB9 has done very well in all the magazine and owner reviews I have seen. The paddle system on the V8 will likely have much in common with the DB9 version although they won't be identical as the DB9 one doesn't fit in the shorter V8.
What spec are you considering?

manual....although im sure if i change my mind it wont be a problem...as for the rest of it...
the coupe in black does it for me, more than any other colour - so, black. As for the internals! would love to say red, more likely, black. Unless im having a extremely brave day... very disappointed with the orange leather, looked great in the photo shoots, not so nice up close.

Can recomend Onyx Black, Obsidion Black leather with red stitching
wits. 
Saw the volante at Gaydon this week ! Fantastic, horrible light green colour with 18" wheels leaving big gaps... but the car is lovely !!
Big sign inside saying DONT DROP THE HOOD !!!!
Car will be April 07 at earliest..... paddle shift is going to be further down the line.
Gaydon are already struggling to meet deliveries .... so a paddle shift in either coupe or roadster is a while a way...........
