Engine upgrade

... I was also told ( by one of AM mechanics ) that the New Vanquish engine will go in the new vantage V12

What they do with the pricing just depends.

^^^Haha, that's what I'm trying to figure out. If the new V12V has the Vanquish V12 that's not so good for valuation of the first series. Then again, if the new V12V isn't available with a manual transmission, at least there still is some exclusivity with the first run. I guess we'll see.
