Vanquish S vs. the others
Hello!
I need opinions from those who have experience with some cars I'm thinking of buying.
Drove SL55, CL65 and Bentley GT. All were fine cars, fast, luxurious but they just didn't make me want to part with my money. Went to Ferrari dealer who predictably was filled with *******s. After I showed my Black Amex to the manager I got some attention. I liked the 575 but it is being replaced. The 612 is butt-ugly IMO.
Then I saw an Aston Martin Vanquish S. And I want it. Black or grey. An owner told me that he has had three Ferraris and unlike them one can drive the Aston everyday, everywhere, no worries just like Mercedes, only in style. The sound alone is worth $10K.
$250K is boat money so any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Have a friend who has owned all the cars you mention, his current stable is SL65, Vanquish "S", Vanquish and 430. This is his 2nd Vanquish and 1st Vanquish "S" and need I say more. It is a DD and the exhaust is bar none the best I have ever heard, PS get your dealer to mod it and lave the valves open all the time!

May I ask what color combinations your friend has had and what you think of them?
I'm tempted to get a metallic grey with burgundy interior a'la Pierce Brosnan...
