Yes, it drives way better than previous gen Vantages, but that's about it for me. Rest is (*&^$@$^(!%..****e) As many times I see it, makes me love my car even more..

Ditto - but I'd argue the driving experience is not as good (sound, involvement, and elegance of our interiors).

It’s not going to make me want to replace my 08 Vantage. In fact it makes me like it even more. As some of you know I also had a DB11 and I think the quality of the previous generations of the DB9 and Vantage are far superior to the new generation.

Agreed with others here - I dove one this week and would not want that car if they traded me a new one for no charge - I'll keep my 2012 V8VS - I wish the brand success but $225K for a well appointed 2019 Vantage...

The new Vantage looks better in person than in pictures. I just saw one on the road the other week. But makes me love the previous generation even more.

I saw and drove a new Vantage. It clearly has more power but it lacks (IMHOP) the classic beauty of my 09 Vantage.

Yes it has more power than the V8 - not the V12S which you can buy a low mileage if not 'new' 2017 for about 1/2 the price and extend the warranty for a full 3 years to equal a new 2019 still for about $60K to 90K less and have the look and elegance of the previous Vantage with more power than the new one.

AND it's not even an Aston Martin motor! Blasphemy! Too small headlights, too busy exterior, etc. Not nearly as elegant as the previous generation.

I really wanted to like it. But if performance was my priority; there are many vehicles with comparable numbers for at lot less money, looks are subjective. We want an Aston Martin, I'll enjoy mine for a while longer. Hopefully there is a fairly low mileage 2016 available in couple of years, but I doubt it! We can modify and consider aftermarket grills but those damn headlight...
