My new Vantage in Mercury Silver and Toro Red

Hi,

I originally wanted Mercury Silver but took a Toro Red as I could not find Mercury. The red was a real racer look but after 2 days I really felt I made the wrong choice so I found a Mercury and traded the Toro for it.

The Toro was unique but I felt Mercury was more of what an Aston should be (richer) than Red

Just wanted to share some pics of both.

Congrats to the amazing ride. Both color looks amazing. I like by the Toro Red the black windows and the the wheels really. Looks so hot. Enjoy it. The V8 is dad`s next sportcar.

Nice choice. As much as I like the red with the dark wheels, I think the lines are shown off a little better with the Mercury Silver. Enjoy it!

That would be such a hard choice. I love the red with dark wheels, looks absolutly stunning but the interior of the mercury is to die for. The problem is silver is everywhere is just blends in. I love Astons and they should stand out slightly.

I know what you mean, but these cars aren't meant to say "LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME!!!" They are not for the same kinda people who would take a lime green lambo... (no offense, I love lime green lambos) but the Aston is meant to be classy and beautiful in its own way. It's a car that everyone notices, but because of its beauty, not its outrageousness.

Both are absolutely stunning cars!

OH MY GOD, you made the right decision. The Mercury look 100x better then the red and much more classy, and the interior is ridiculous. Honestly i love it so much

Mercury looks great, although it looks like Tungsten - but I'm probably wrong.

I had a chance to drive the V8 at the Aston sponsored event up at the Califoirnia Speedway; track and street and this car is great - both in beauty and handling. Yes, it could use a bit more power - but I think we say that about all our cars!

So here comes the dilemma. I have a deposit on a roadster which I need to spec out sometime within the next couple of weeks, but everytime I see the coupe I get more attracted to the lines/design. Figuring out the color combos is going to be another feat!

What should I do - stick with the roadster or go for the coupe?

What would you do?

Mercury?

Beautiful.

I am looking for one now as a daily - the problem is that everyone has a black interior. I am looking for a light or tan colored interior in either the midnight blue or mercury silver.

Not sure why everyone got that car with a black interior.
