Stopped by the local Aston dealer after a spirited drive this afternoon and noticed this 2015 model had the older red tails. Didn't have a chance to ask anyone about it but was curious why you think this one doesn't have the clears?

I may have answered my own question... I just saw the window sticker from this listing and it shows it as an option:

Really strange... I didn't know the clear lights were an option on 2010+... I thought it was just standard equipment?

 

They have always been an option on the base V8
Some special edition gained them as standard

 

I have still been debating to get clear tails on my 08 roadster.

 

learn something new everyday. I think red looks good on black but would probably opt for clear on most other colors.

 

The yellow stitching on that AM at StL Motorsports is interesting.
midwestamv8 who do you deal with there, David?

 

I met David once when I first had my car in for service, but I haven't dealt much with sales as I bought the car from a different dealership. Dave and Sam in service are great.

 

I like the red on my black car, the clear looks kind of anemic on a black car IMHO.

 

boy, poor Karpaydm, he took a huge hit on that Vantage! But he ended up with an I8 so not so bad.
