Sounds good.

 

Sounds like a winner this time around.

 

FYI - AMOC has just posted these specs too ... seems we are getting to a final picture of what is coming out for 2009.

 

Any idea when they will release new pricing?

 

Nice...........

 

Glad to hear this. I've never driven a Vantage, but everybody I've talked to about them said that the one thing they needed was more power.

 

Its a complete car now, hope the price hasnt changed by much.

 

it also has a new center console

 

and new 19'' 20 spoke wheels,5 spoke 20" on sports package

 

here s a pic of the sports package

 

Still not enough. They should give it 500+ yo really be competitive should give it 500

 

Obviously, I grew up in a different time...
To folks my age, and older, Aston Martin have always been, "a Gentleman's car." Sort of the sporting man's Rolls Royce or Bentley.
Obviously, AM has a magnificent racing heritage, but their road cars have never been race cars for the street... like Ferrari and a few others.

Even under the guidance of Prodrive, I don't think they're focusing on numbers and graphs to impress those who judge by statistics alone.
If someone wants to go fast, they'll buy a ZR1. If they want to go fast, and make a "statement", they'll buy the Ferrari in the moment.
- The way I see it, Aston Martin is doing an excellent job of offering the cars the majority of their buyers desire. ...Breathtakingly beautiful cars of quality, with more than adequate performance (across the entire spectrum of which this term is associated).

 

I'm lovin it.

 

I love the new centre console, DBS style.
