i drove one (albeit not an S) and could not sum it up better myself. It is in my opinion the best looking car on the road, but it's nothing special to drive.

I also don't really know how anyone can justify the extra money for the Vanquish over the DB9 when they look very similar and the DB9 is just as fast.

Those wheels are NICE!!!
Anyone has the picture with those wheels on a DB9?
I need to show them to my friend.

If you put Vanquish and DB9 side by side, you will be able to tell the differences. Vanquish is like DB9's big brother, much more stronger and aggresive. I really like Vanquish's look.

I have heard that Vanquish's transmission really sucks, that's one of my consideration. The sales also admit that DB9's transmission is better than Vanquishs. I will have to drive both of them to feel the differences...maybe today!

I will post more pictures later tonight.

Aston Martins always had such Bondish tone to them.....

It doesn't matter that it's not the fastest outhere...but it provides style like not very many cars....

i believe its still a tiptronic style box, (torque converter auto with buttons) and not like the F1 style you refer to Ferrari/BMW
