Hello Vanquish, Goodbye V8 Vantage
Thanks in part to the enthusiasm and expertise of the members of this forum, I’ve become a committed Aston Martin fan. I purchased a 2012 V8 Vantage S a couple of years ago and have enjoyed it immensely. This car whet my appetite for a V12 Aston and I finally decided to go for a 2015 Vanquish. As many have noted, Gen 2 Vanquishs are fast, comfortable and beautifully designed. Unfortunately, my garage space is limited so my V8 Vantage S must go. If anyone is looking for a low mileage (14K miles), Cobalt Blue SSII V8 Vantage S in pristine condition, it’s currently listed on Bring a Trailer. It has several upgrades including a Velocity tune and secondary cat deletes. I’ll post pictures of my Vanquish soon.

My initial impressions are that the V8 Vantage S is an involving sports car that wants to be driven aggressively, particularly using its paddle (or manual) shifter. Although the Vanquish is quicker to 60 and has a higher top speed, it’s much more of a GT cruiser. It’s also more spacious (with ridiculously small back seats) and more comfortable (at least for me). Both cars are fun to drive and great in their own ways. I only wish I could keep both.

Congrats! I plan on doing the same and stepping up to a 2014+ Vanquish in the next couple years, as well. I've wanted one for a long time. Please keep us posted on your driving impressions, satisfaction with the upgrade, value for money, etc.

I am thinking the same with a DB9 GT, Vanquish, or V12VS. Wouldn't mind saving a couple of feet in the garage over the Rapide.
