Current info from Ferrari was 200k euro. So you are somewhere around DB11 pricing to start?

Its based on the Portofino without the folding roof....

I like the front more than the Portofino. The rear not so much. Great work Ferrari.

It looks like a nice car , hard to tell though from the dark mysterious videoclip , why would they not show the whole car in proper lighting .
Are they advertising a new car or some kind of late night horror movie ?

First elegant Ferrari style in a long time. Way better than the new Vantage, unfortunately.

Agreed. Vantage needs to be restyled like the db10.

I was at an Aston event and "they said, but didn't say" that metal slat grill will come out on the Vantage. They are aware of the consumer sentiment.

The interior in the Roma is miles above AM. AM Vantage seems clunky and baron in comparison if they are in a similar price bracket. AM needs to seriously reduce price. Anyone remember the old Vantage started around 100K?

BINGO!... AND ... ended at $100k for a new base GT twelve years later in 2018... The base price jumped $50k (and 50%) in one year from 2018-2019 for the new car...

I said this in a different forum and everyone basically yelled I didn't know what I was talking about. The AMG V8 probably costs slughtly more but even if starting was 120K would have been fine but 150 plus it seems minimum suggested options of 22K based on lease offers your way too high. Personally I would rather get the AMG GT because I don't like the interior or front of the Vantage. If it looked like the Db10 we would have a different story in terms of looks. Look how many Vantage are unsold and DB11's it ain't pretty. And they are getting killed in the used market.

The Ferrari interior is what Aston should have done 3 years ago with the DB11 and then with the new Vantage - instead it's a mess of different styles. I hear it's being priced between the Vantage and the DB11 - Aston needs to come up with updated models ASAP to compete.

Well if Aston goes broke like it's currently on track I wonder if Mercedes will get to it before VW or BMW who seems to like the British brands. AM being bought might be the best thing for them.

Hate to agree with that ... but I do. Ford buying them back in the day DID fix many ailments. And lets not even discuss what the new C8 vette is doing to the sports car market... Yes it is relevant because besides keeping my current V8V... The C8 is the next car I plan to purchase. If the new Vantage was $100k and my C8 convertible Z51 3LT was $85k+... I'd have to sit and think for a while.

Yes they were unfortunately. AM isn't Pagani or Koenigsegg that appear self sufficient.
