He has tried autotrader/cars.com and several new car inventory in our area...lots of 08's , none Daytonas

Carlos called. I told him I see too many other DBs on the road. I suggested he stop making Zs or any other car that color. He said "cool". The deed was done.
























Seriously. How would anybody know what the marketing group is thinking? Look at the last 5 years. Every year a special color comes out for one year only. They've occasionally dropped colors and added new ones. It's the way of the auto industry.

for 09 they should axe ALL the colors and bring back the special colors from previous years for 09... then go back to their normal coloring scheme

I wanted DB for a long time so I feel your pain. When I finally got around to buying the car, I looked at the SMB, which I actually like better. Of course, it's not what I like that matters. Check Autotrader; that's where I found my car.

DB is a 2007 color, so it's out there. I saw several in the Atlanta area, but all were roadsters.

Good luck.

No, the color is discontinued. I know because I just snatched up an 07 DB that was on it's way over before it was too late. The DBs you are seeing are 07 models.

I tried getting a DB Enthusiast when I bought mine new, but there weren't any in the whole state S'all good though, I like the way my "me too" silver hides dirt
