Ah... but there's $15K difference you say... Maybe on paper. But the base price on the GT was achieved by slashing the dealer margin and a little bit of trunk money from Aston. So you ordered a GT you pretty much paid list or pretty close to it. A $160K GTS is pretty much a fully specced V8VS which was $160K anyway. Difference is the dealers now have a bit of room to make a deal. If you order a well optioned car, I would say the spread between what the same GT would have cost to a GTS is $3-4K, absolute max.

The only way you missed the boat on a GT is if you wanted a $100,000 Vantage, black on black, manual with no options. If you were optioning more than $10-15K on a GT there's not really much difference.
