Have you driven either of those? When I drove them I was bored to death. Just felt like I was disconnected from the road. Try an F or Lambo.

I went through the same thing. Get a Murcielago. You will not be dissapointed.

I think the frist thing I have to ask is how old are you? If you're 50s' + AM will be a consideration. If you under, go try lambo and F- car frist

i second that. You will definitely be bored with the AM. next step is Lambo

what you need to keep in mind is how often you would drive the car.

An Aston you could drive daily. The lambo is a hot car but I wouldn't drive it more then once or twice a week.

A Ferrari 2-3 times a week.

If I had the money, I would get an Vanquish S and contact the Dimex Group

How could you say no to this!!!

You didn't say what your price point was. F430 is a good choice if you are looking for change. Get one in silver gray or black and it won't be obnoxious as a daily. Isn't Aston basically a Ford .. don't get me wrong it looks awesome.

Dr Bill, Andrew and i just came from the A-M dealer recently opened here and the A-M's are beautiful cars. If you are looking for more of a gentleman car then these make a better choice over F or L. None of them will touch your stage 4 but you know that. The Vanquish is more of a sports car than a DB9, but Porsche, F & L are more sports cars than A-M.

I've heard of so many cases of AM tranny woes, even on practically brand new cars... so, make sure you do some research.

Get a F14 Tomcat !

I say def. go with the Murci if you are "burned out" on PORSCHE !

An Aston Martin looks good but it's British for crying out loud.

I would so go with an F-car or Murcielago, the Vanquish and DB9 are more GT's then sports cars.

All of these guys are right, AM is a gorgeous GT car, not so much a sports car in my eyes and too bland.. If your bored of your stg. 4 turbo not much will excite you after, honestly as mentioned try out a F430 or Murcielago... If your going to get a Gt type car look no further than an SL65 , they are ridiculous
