I love Aston Martin. I would kill to own one. I'm not so much into the "traditional" supercar makers (ie the traditional ones from Italy), but Aston design is just intoxicating.

Aston Martin :wub:

i simply love the new Aston Martin V8 Vantage or the new, smaller one designed to compete with the 911 turbo, whatever it's called.

I love the Vanquish. There is, amazingly, one in town where I live in Arkansas, but the old fart never drives it. It's one of the most beautiful cars in existence, and he keeps it in his garage. Selfish.

Both are amazing to look at, but the Vanquish (S) is my favorite.

True. That V12 may be what makes me think the Vanquish is prettier than it is.

Thats the Vanquish. Notice the busy lines toward the quarter panel.

This is the DB9--notice how much smoother it is.

The best looking Aston, IMO.

I prefer the DB9 over the AMV8 (that horizontal crease line is too prounced for me), but I do agree that the Vanquish's rear fender bulge is much too pronounced.

Haha... It's hard not to... It's like when parents compare their child to yours and talk about how their's has cuter cheeks, or better hair, or a happier smile when you really know that your kid is better and will someday be the other kid's employer. :lol: (just kidding of course, but it's a fun comparison)

Vanquish definitely looks better, but I don't think I'd want to own either car.
