Erotic=Aston
Speed=M6
I would take the Aston as the daily driver, they are so damn hot looking, and as great as the M6 is in the performance dept. the Bangledesh design is something I cannot get over.

Omg the aston is probably a million times sexier.. But since your saying DD I would think the M6 would be more reliable and stuff. But if it were up to me, even for a DD, I would take a **** on the M6 if I had to choose between that or the vantage.

No brainer, M6. Exotics, but especially the Aston Martin, are far too fragile to be used daily. Parts wear out, things go wrong, and your wallet gets a black eye.
As mentioned above, the warranty on the BMW makes it worthwhile. In fact, any daily driver should have such a warranty so that you can drive it to the ground and not care.

I had the same choice to make and ended up going with the Vantage. So far it's been flawless. Granted, I've only had it for 4 months, but during that time it's been great.
The M6 was a close 2nd though, and the fact that ALL maintenance (including brakes) is included was a huge plus for the M6. My wife drives a 2006 745LI and the fact that everything is covered is very nice.
One thing I can say about the M6 is that it is FAST! I was going about 80 on the freeway the other night around 10:00. A car pulled right up behind me. When I didn't speed up or move out of the fast lane he decided to pass me on the right. He flew by me like I was standing still. As he passed me I noticed it was an M6.
Ultimately it came down to exclusivity for me. I ended up going with the more rare car. I live in the suburbs of LA and see M6's and 645's everywhere. I have yet to see another Vantage on the road.

I've seen a handful of Vantages on the streets in the last couple of weeks. It is definately sex on wheels. I would buy the Vantage over the M6 for the WOW factor, but go with the M6 if its for daily duty.
