It is polarizing to some, but I think it's beautiful. Enjoy it. I have a 2011 V8V S and I'll keep it until my son takes the keys away. Sometimes I go out in the garage and just
look at it. I drive it every chance I get (except to work!). I'm not saving it for someone else. To me, it's just a wonderful car.

Not a press car. it was ordered in NC. started with the adrenaline package and modified from there. I'm technically the second owner, but the first owner rotates cars every 3 months.

Thanks, guys! This is one of the many reasons I think that six-speeders are the best. everyone on here is great. We all love Aston's.

it was a bittersweet day when my lovely wife and I drove our 2015 vantage to the dealer to pick up this one. Both of us have very fond memories of our first Vantage. Still super excited about the new car. we have gotten way more comments and compliments with this car (It is a much brighter color and more aggressive look, so I guess I should expect that)

This past weekend we went to cars and coffee in Morrisville, good turnout. Had a fellow Aston Martin owner show up with his nice Rapide.

ncamv8: I hope you are still appreciating your new Vantage. The intro green has grown on me.
As a newcomer to this forum I am really impressed with the kind wishes from many who favor the old car's charms. I get it. I miss them too.
I also appreciate what Aston has done to make the new Vantage not only competitive, but desired. Truth be told, I am taking delivery of one in 12 days!

I had a 2015 GT - great car, essentially an "S" but less $$. Personally I love the look and elegance of the past, but that's me. I drove the new Vantage and found it much more comfortable, but not my taste. I traded my V12S for a C8 - mostly financial reasons, but the newer cars are so refined they seem to lose something to me. The C8 is an incredible car, and I'm sure the new Vantage is, but to me performance is not the main thing. I missed the old Vantage so much I bought an 09 just to have it when I feel the need to drive something more visceral. The C8 has a 7 year warranty and total all in (LT2 with Sports Exhaust and lift) with the warranty and add the cost of the 09 Vantage I'm right at $110K. The new Vantage is more special than the C8 no doubt - enjoy.

One other thought - Mercedes is not going to have a V8 next year - Aston will be the only sportscar with the V8 running gear - this can be a very good thing for Aston!
