~ a really cool car that sounded incredible but 300k? ouch. lots of carbon fiber goodies!

turn up the volume and enjoy the sweet sport mode exhaust.

There's a black Vanquish that drives by my house from time to time. I can usually hear it from a quarter mile away.

BMW Fanatik · 05-02-2014, 06:57 AM

Vanquish.

The one they used in Top Gear and Jay Leno's garage is for sale in my city. Since the manager is a friend he let us sit in and start it up. It sounds like the Zeus of all car exhausts!!!

Surprisingly lots of Astons in Sydney.

I dunno much about English cars though, but I want to learn.

Raja Ventureshield · 05-02-2014, 09:34 PM

that's not a vantage.

Guilty · 05-02-2014, 11:37 PM

Interior is weird.

HFW003 · 05-03-2014, 03:30 AM

That's because of its Ford heritage I would suggest.

Seriously beautiful car and I have always dreamed of owning a DB9, my son says he'll buy me one when he grows up, can't wait

I used to consider Astons my dream cars until I actually got to drive a couple of them and push them as hard as I could.

At the end of the day, my dreams were shattered. They were beautiful cars, but really felt no more special than driving an M6. The exterior is nice but the interior looks pretty plain and cheap.

At their price point there are other cars that just feel more special and are more enjoyable to drive.

I still love them but I would no longer buy one of those.

Thats how I felt when I drove a Gallardo, then I was told I should drive the Aventador, though I havent.

So I think if you drive their most expensive model it might be a different experience.

The nicest one I drove was a DB9 and that disappointed me.
