Aston Martin's forthcoming entry-level coupe, the DB8 or updated DB5, depending on whom you ask, was recently freeze-framed by auto spy, Brenda Priddy. The new 400+hp, V8-powered coupe is expected to cost in the Porsche 911 range, making it accessible to Amex platinum-card holders — not just people who carry that weird Amex Onyx card that none of us riff raff have ever seen. AM's betting the farm on this one, and from the looks of it, it may just save a tractor or two from the auctioneer's gavel.
