Morries Aston Martin has two V8's one in - bay-boy in your face colors ($207K) and the other in a dark grey ($186K). I've written it before in this blog - almost everything about the new Vantage I hate - however, the one color grey actually looks good on the car - almost 'elegant'. You won't see them advertise - for some reason they can't but both are available. They also have two V12S new - a paddle shift and a 7 speed - both are advertised as used - they are not, but that way they can discount them. I'd take the used 'new' discounted V12S over the V8. As far as volume I seriously doubt the new V8 Vantage will sell like the old one. Too weird, too $$$. Other newer cars will compete in far less cost like the rear engine Corvette. A ZR-1 is a badder boy than the bad-boy Vantage, and if you want nice interior finishes, for not a terrible amount of money any car can get some custom leather and finishes to have the appeal of an Aston for about $20K more. And - the Corvette you can get serviced locally. Aston had the last of the elegant sports car - now there are none.
