- I tested a 2023 Aston Martin DBX707 SUV and remembered the biggest thing missing in electric cars.
- EVs are fast and fun, but they lack engine noise that amps up the driving experience.
- The DBX707 that Aston Martin lent me for a week came out to $276,000, including some options.
I never thought I'd be that person on the internet lamenting the death of combustion engines. My reporting tends to focus on the tidal wave of cool electric vehicles headed our way. And as a person concerned about the planet's future, I know EVs are part of our ticket out of this mess we've created.
