A MID-LIFE FACELIFT IS TRADITIONALLY quite a thorough affair. Baked into the product plan at conception, its introduction scheduled for when the once-fresh new car is no longer the freshest. Therefore, around its fourth anniversary come the updates. A nip here, a tuck there, possibly some more oomph somewhere. Job done, three more years of sales for before its all-new replacement arrives.
These facelift cycles are also the opportunity to address any fundamental issues that were missed during several million miles of testing and while even more millions of pounds were spent on development, and weren’t noticedsleepless nights and a ‘new’ factory to build it in, when it came to dressing the inside of the DBX Aston Martin was shaking the last pennies from its investors’ piggy banks and was left with those small bits of fluff, a franc and a piece of Lego. Probably.
