AMV8 vs. DB9?

I'm thinking of putting a deposit down on one of these. AM almost made the DB9 too good. There really is no reason to spend the extra money for the Vanquish over the DB9. Do you think they'll deliberately cripple the Vantage so as not to do the same again? I know the Vantage is supposed to be around 100k...anyone know what a loaded DB9 stickers for? Which would you go with?

AM V8 is the better looking car.

But, it comes down to whether you want a sports car with a V8 or a GT with a V12.

time to go for a spin. want to know if u like it or not. great looking car but i heard it doesn't drive like a 170k+ car. i'd considered a slightly used Vanquish, for the depreciate reason!

put the deposit on AMV8. it'll be a hot cake when it hits the land.

I like the AMV8...but, for the top-down experience prfer the DB9 Volante....dad's comes here as one of the first 06s (it is too hot and extremely humid in Dubai in the summer months when the first 05s come in to have top down)
