Jason from Motor Trend did a very complimentary piece that I wholeheartedly agree with
Very refreshing as most reviews and comparisons focus on the numbers and they just don't get the point!
N/A motor, manual trans, minimal electronic aids, hydraulic steering etc...
I recommend you watch the video if you haven't already and look forward to your comments:

 

Not exactly the newest Vantage, but I'll take the matte silver one @ Newport Beach for $178k think the prices will drop lower by the end of the year?

 

The red lipstick is hard to warm up to for me. I like the different colors on the Aloro Green, but not that white with red. The local dealer had a similar on in V8 GT they were darn near giving away and it still wasn't enough to get me excited on. Hence them sitting on the car for a year plus...

 

I personally love the white with the orange lipstick. Would take that car in a second!

 

Hahahaha---- He said " its just like driving a Miata with 564 HP" Guess there is not much to say after that

 

"you might as well just focus on fun. That's probably why British cars seem to prefer being sideways to going fast. If this handling characteristic came up as a Tinder match I'd swipe right, super like it, then lick my phone."

 

This exact car was sitting at the Chicago dealer. I was up there a few weeks ago and had a look at it. Aston replaced the transmission and cleaned up before sale. I like the pics of the car but in person I did not like the orange lipstick. The orange piping and the interior I did think was done very well.

Good video and he’s right, it’s not about the numbers, otherwise I would look at the new ZR1 corvette.

 

That car has very minimal options. And a hefty $16k paint job. Car was previously sold at Ferrari Silicon Valley or something.

 

I love this review, I remember watching it a while ago

perfectly describes why we like these cars

 

Watched that video couple times over the last year and still sits in my YT favorites.

I'm not a fan of all that lipstick and livery on any car and would rip that off before driving it home.

 

The lipstick is paint.

 

This video made me realize I have the attention span of a goldfish. I only made it a minute or two in so far. Can't get past this guy driving that beautiful car in the dirt! Made me want to fight him.

 

Really terrible - There is a youtube of the guy who bought the 36K Vantage. He replaced the exhaust - the stock exhaust was so corroded he snapped some of the bolts. Terrible running it on salt.

Does not matter how much they depreciate. For me, they are still works of art. There is no way I would purchase the car shown above knowing it was run in the dirt.

 

I hope nobody buys this for the $180k asking. It should be more like $100k after watching the video, why was the transmission replaced?

 

"Looks like sex and sounds like a symphony". - He get's it!
