The V12 Vantage isn't sold in the US.

-1 on the tow hook.... That would be the first delete.

Would love a V12 Vantage, too bad it won't be in the US. I don't like the hood vents on the V12 though.

Actually, last week Aston said it could come to the US and that they might make more than the 1000 they initially said they would make.

That's pretty funny - someone paid good money for a photoshoot and they forgot to take the tow hook off the car.

It's a style of look for some poeple. Similar to "time-attack" pin stripes on rims. Some poepel dig it, some don't, some think its dumb to have it on if you don't track.

Anyways, I'm really not a fan of the V12 vantage's hood. Unless its truely functional (not sure myself) I feel it is gawdy. I'd much rather have the normal looking V8 Vantage, perhaps with the V12 in it.

V12:

The DB9 looks dated in comparison, and not in the classic-dated kind of way. The One-77 is just ostentatious, and the DBS is trying too hard.

Also, who the fuck would NOT trade a commoner's M3 for a Vantage?

V12 mate, it needs all the air it can get.

CSanto · 09-28-2009, 11:17 AM

How much can you get a V8 Vantage for anyways.

The DBS is amazing but for 250k there's a ton of options. I'd prob be in the Scuderia/458 market if the wallet allowed for a car of that price.

I've seen used 2006 V8 Vantage's going for the same price as a new E92 M3.

New V8 Vantage is $130,000 ish.

Just looked it up, apparently the hood adds cooling and downforce. Personally though, I'd still be happy with just the V8. You usually buy an Aston for the looks, imho. All the performance that comes with it is gravy.

you've gotta remember that this is the same forum where some people think the M3 is an equivalent to a porsche.

Granted, I think E90 is still better than BimmerFest. I went to BimmerFest back when I had my other E92, and one of the first post I read (paraphrased) was something like:

Forced induction changes the game! A tuned 335i would beat a F430 and Z06 hands down, FI > NA

I didn't even register after reading that.
