    It is a great car to drive. The true Six speeds are so much more fun to drive as well. The fit and finish is true Aston and they are very easy cars to have fun in.

    is wait for Vanquishes to depreciate down to around $100K! I would take one over a 550 or 575 any day!

    DB9 is > Vanqiush, IMO. THe automagic was pretty unspecial, but the rest of the car is fantastic.

    The DB9 is one of the most beautiful cars out there. Looks very refined, sexy, etc..

    I still like the looks of the DB7 the best, but I saw 2 DB9s in CHicago and they were BEAUTIFUL. One was a Volante, the other a coupe. I also got to hear the coupe (vantage?) drive, and the engine sounded amazing.

    The vantage was the the 12 cylinder DB7... and now the V8. The DB9 coupe is just the coupe I believe. By far the prettiest car around.

    I most certainly can't have been the first to use it. Electrickery, all of those silly terms.
