Tough crowd. I picked up a new vantage. Obviously I liked the car and I got a very aggressive deal. I rather like the cars style. I have no problems with the interior and overall I look forward to driving it.

I also love the prior design and I'm looking to pick up a 6 speed 8/12 when I find one that meets the requirements.

I have a TTS, GT3 and some other cars and the vantage provides the same or more enjoyment for less (after discount).

MichaelHK is infamous around these parts
I have less issue with the aggressive grille as I do with the miata headlights. If they retained the older vantage headlight shape like they did on the DBS it would have kept much more of it's elegance IMO.

The "smiley" form of the lower side of the grille throws me a bit off.
It looks better but they shouldn't have stopped there. Headlights are still terrible.

Yep. I drove a new one recently and it was great, but damn the headlights are ugly and the front is a boring thing to look at. Wish it had the dbs Superleggera front end look!

HUGE improvement up front! I think they will sell more cars with this being out there... Hope its not crazy money.

Back is also the way I'd spec the car... Good Stuff!
