Well, I agree. Vantage is too short and stubby for my liking. If that was the only choice for an Aston, I wouldn't have an Aston. It's gotta' be a V12 and long wheelbase...but NOT the ridiculously long Rapide. There's too short, too long and just right...DB9/DBS/Virage/Vanquish

IF I was in a position where I actually knew 3 other people there is a strong liklihood I would have a Rapide.....I don't find it offensive at all........Certainly more agreeable than the Vantage to me anyway. I think it would be great fun to scare the bejesus out of my hapless passengers......!

Everybody has a preference - Where as I would not buy a Vanquish ,DB9, or Rapide.

If the V12 was not offered, I would of ended up with a MP4-12C.

The Vantage is the only Aston I would buy. I like my cars to be compact.

To each is own and isnt it fantastic we all have a model we like within the AM range?

Personally- I looked at them all and if it was not for the vantage i would have stayed with my 911. couldn't get myself to like any of the others DB9/S/V etc...

And yes i am very young 46 yo

I'm also in the short wheelbase camp and wouldn't have purchased if it weren't for the "baby" Aston.
