DB9. I'd like to know who the hell voted for the Sky and if they were drunk.
DB9
V8 Vantage
Ford GT
Aston Martin V8 Vantage. But I must admit that the Fort GT looks darn good.
The Aston Martins won't look as good in 20years as the Ford GT will.

Yes they will.
FGT FTW!
I loves teh Sky so much I can 'splain.
DB9
For the most part the only cars that just scream sexy to me are from two brands: Aston and Jag. I voted for the DB9, obviously (the Vantage is more aggressive, but I like how the extra size of the DB9 lets the very similar lines be even more sensuous).

Yes they will.
No, they won't. The Astons will age, the Ford has already stood the test of time. The Ford is 40 years old.

No, they won't.? The Astons will age, the Ford has already stood the test of time.? The Ford is 40 years old.?
A beautiful car is a beautiful car. It's not like they will become ugly over night or something. And a old DB5 is still a awesome looking car to this day. The new Astons will be no different.
I'm completely impressed with the Solstice. It's easy to make a good looking car with 100K to spend, but with around 20K? Every time I pass a Solstice with a passenger at my side, their heads turn. When I tell them the car costs around 20K, they are amazed.

The new Astons have a classic sexy shape that will never age. It's a timeless design that will look just as good 50 years from now as it does today.
The current Aston Martins don't have as good of porportions. Just like most new cars its beltline is to high. It works for now but that trend will hopefuly be out of style in 20years.
Besides that the GT and original GT40 probably have the best side profile (which is the most important angle IMO) of any car there is.

Beltline is too high?? I don't know about you, but I can barely see the chin on the driver of the GT you posted.? Besides, high beltlines have always been cool, and only losers don't like them. :ohyeah: ;)
Don't get me wrong, the GT is one of my favourite cars of all time and one of the sexiest, but the gaps in the body panels are big you could slide pencils through them, and that knocks it down a notch for me.

That is exactly why I chose it too. Everytime I see one, I stare. Its beautiful, and I have to remind myself its attainable.

I have to admit I do the same. But the DB9 is just pure sex on wheels.
i am an aston girl all the way, my personal favorites being the vanquish S and the new DBS although i realize that is not a production car yet. i have a special place in my heart for the GT though because in school i had an assignment where we modeled cars from scratch and then proceeded to draw them nothing short of 50 times (an exercise in proportion and perspective no doubt). the GT taught me a lot about drawing cars, not to mention it looks amazing on the road.

She works with me in my office. :ohyeah:
ah. we'll see how long she lasts. :lol:
She's really nice and really cool, so don't fuck with her. :lol:
:huh: alright.
oh yeah, welcome to the forums. you'll find that this is a great place.
haha this is great. i didnt think i would be the only woman on here, but i am constantly being surprised i guess! hmm, how long will i last... that depends on how good the car talk is. ;)
just kidding.
yeah, we managed to scare away just about all the women that sign-on here. :lol:
aw, what did you do start talking about manual sequential gearboxes? or maybe the physics of a turbo charger? hehe.
if you really want to scare yourself, go through the ARBT. :lol:

Yes it is. Just like all these people saying the current BMWs look good; they don't. And in 15 years, people will remember these as bad looking cars.
These are not bad looking. But they won't ever be held in the same regard as the DB5.

Now I have to!
Welcome, Vanquish. There are a lot of good people here.
I am not one of them.
Great, Hemi look what you started! An open invitation to try and scare me away! Haha.
Well, I will keep in mind that you are not one of them Raza, but everyone has a nice and a naughty side so I'm sure you are not all bad.

I'll agree that the current line of BMW cars have been hit with an ugly tree. But I don't agree that the current Astons are anything but beautiful.

Yup Raza is a complete asshole all the time.
But we love our semi-resident drunk Raza.
So we let him stay. :lol:
Welcome, btw
Don't let us scare you away to easily ;)

They're good looking, sure. But I don't think they're timeless.
I think I voted for the DB9.
I'll say this: The V8 Vantage is HIDEOUS. There, I said it.
Astons are timeless designs, much like the GT.

Exactly, their porportions are off. The DB9 may look better than the Ford GT now but it won't in 20years.

I'm surprised you say the V8 us hideous but the DB9 isn't. They look quite similar to me!
Tough one. Probably the Ford GT. But the Aston and the F430 are right up there too.
