V8 '08 Spec?

[squeezebm]

Hello Aston boys,
I might be in a position for a new V8 soon (heres hoping!) anyway,from research so far,am i right in saying the 07 model has quite a few upgrades ie Better handling,bluetooth,better hi-fi etc?

Also not knowing much about the Aston cycle,when do the '08's go into production,and what if any are next years upgrades?
Whats the smg type gearbox like? (only driven the manual)
Finally,Whats the rumours regarding an uprated engine?

Lots of ???'s I know!!

Many Thanks

Not sure that you're right. Bluetooth hasn't really changed, handling remains the same (though there are rumours that the Roadster has tried some tweaks and these are now finding their way onto the coupe.

Next year's upgrades include better stereo integration including an iPod link. There is a very detailed PDF available on the AMOC forum.

Not driven the SportShift - heard mixed reports (but then you do for all semi-autos). i suspect that, if you like / get on with these systems then you will like this one. If not, you won't.

Uprated engine is available from Prodrive. Rumours persist but they are unsubstantiated so far.
