Once again...I really wish the early buyers of the manual good fortune with their choice. Please post pictures when the cars arrive...
one person stated December delivery....I am guessing it is a Vantage AMR as the Aston Martin website States 4th quarter start delivery...

In the meantime...I would like to see any test videos of the new 2019-2020 manual Vantage given by people like Top Gear...Vantage mag...Road and Track... Automobile...Motor Trend...etc...with the car coming out it needs this to excite people to buy!

Safe driving guys and I look forward to your posted pictures.

I love to see a shift **** in any car but that's a pretty mundane looking shift **** for an Aston, let alone the AMR version considering the shining metal beacon of pride that was on the V12 manual..

If you are using the MB engine with the manual just be aware of possible problems.
Aston Martin is too small a company to hold up cars till they feel are 100 percent. This forum is proof with the many problems listed by members.
While I hope you have nothing but good luck or fortune with your New car...your car can be released and sold you with Aston Martin fixing or correcting later...Aston needs money.

As a Aston enthusiastic, I would be concerned with any new AML new models. They are deep in debt and suspect drained of resources for mechanical challenges/new model rollout. They are praying the DBX is a huge success. That may be a stretch.
