    Becuase he thinks im smart and he knows I know alot about cars, but I dont know about these two very well, my dad has driven the DB9 but not the 612 and if he were to buy a db9 or 612 he would have to drive it year round. I just need to understand what car is easier to live with every day? which one has more problems etc..... out of the 20+ responses i got 1 usefull one. I ask for your guy's help for a reason.

    Smart people use punctuation, sentence structure, capitol letters and kow how to spell simple words.

    How old are you? With what I know about younger people, I would say you instant message your friends a lot and it has taken away the desire or ability for you to type properly.

    To answer your question, neither of the cars are junk. If he like one over the other, that's the one he should buy. If he is truly concerned about the reliability of either car he shouldn't be asking a child.

    Your father asked a 14 year old which high end luxury car he should buy? He must have won the lottery.

    he has doctors coming over to his office (doctors are his clients) and they would be questioning if the doctors would be paying for the bentleys. my dad is the most humble man I know and hes pushing it to the limit with the sl500

    Am I getting this right...

    Your dad feels the Bentleys are too ostentatious but is considering a Ferrari or an Aston ?

    Are you sure you didnt suggest the 612 and the Aston to your dad ?

    Come on Vik...it seems your dad doesnt give two hoots about cars so if he wants a nice daily driver without seeming ostentatious he should stick to a Benz or a luxury SUV or something that doesnt cost $200k.

    he wants a sports car. and he wants it to be low key (hard to beleive) the 612 is recognized by a select crowd as a ferrari but the aston sticks out substantually. He has an esclade for the winter, but he wont want another sedan (he has the bentleys) so the only alternitave is the sports car which the sl is to "bland" for him.

    Porsche Cayman - real sports car, not stupidly expensive/ostentatious. Very nice, incredibly fun to drive, reliable, etc. If snow is an issue, an Audi TT quattro is a cool sporty car, or the BMW 335Xi.

    The DB9 and 612 scream MONEY!!! like few other cars on the planet. I can't think of two worse choices for someone trying not to look ostentatious and as a backup car to a Bentley and a Tahoe.

    And I have to agree with some of the comments above. It seems odd that a wildly successful adult would ask their kid to post on an Internet chat board to decide which $200K car to buy. You should know this as 'a mature auto broker' (from your profile).

    This from someone who posts in thread just to insult others. Do you want me to post links?

    You're one the the very last who should be trying on halos. You mostly encourage flaming and fights as long as your friends are knee deep in it.

    Great video. I have a question though? Why in the world would anyone pay attention to a 14 year old, asking about his dad's car?

    Because (in my case) after dealing with whiny adults all day long, it's rather refreshing listening to the youthful bantering of a ragamuffin.
