I love it, looks fantastic. Quality has also gone up in AM since Ford purchased it. They also got out of the gutter sales wise, got re-established, and are able to make some pretty crazy cars again.

1 QUESTION---------------->

Ever been in or driven a Vanquish? This is far from a Ford, this is on of the badest machines on the road hands down.. I would kick any Porsche in existence out of my gagage for a Vanquish. As well the DB9 is one nice machine!

You have got to be kidding. Those AM's from the 70's and 80 were crap, rolling piles of dog feces. The factory in Newport Pagnell was a greasy, smoke filled pit where heavy drinking on the job was common. I drove one in the mid 80's cant think of the model it was a DB something. It got 6 mpg, was fairly slow and ate batteries/alternators every week and it was not uncommon for more exhaust to get in the cabin than out the pipes. The only reason these new bad *** models are seeing the light of day is because of Fords coffers.

I love how everyone says "two ford engines". One, if anything, its two cosworth engines. Secondly, they are still hand assembled and have nothing to do with ford. Lastly, what exactly do you consider mass production? I believe by 02' the number of DB7's produced (highest selling Aston) was around 6200 units. So in 9 years, they made 6200 units. You have pretty high standards.

Look for this bad boy at Sebring 05 and then hopefully LM too. Should give the C6 Vetttes a run for their money in GTS.
