Just looking through some photos of the interior of the DB7.  It has 
what I believe to be one of the most beautifully appointed interiors 
I've ever seen in a car, cost no object.  So elegant, purposeful and 
bloody opulent.  I can't think of one thing that is questionable or 
poorly executed.  Well, maybe one...

I noticed that the inside door latch looks like it's from a mk1 Miata.  
What the...?  A $130,000 dollar car with a flimsy plastic door latch?  
Everything else in the cabin is made of Conolly leather and walnut.  At 
that price level, something that is grabbed every time one gets out of 
the car should be a little more fancy.  Realistally, I don't care... I 
still want one.

Still think the Japanese, Germans, Italians, and Americans still have 
somethings to learn from those Brits.
