But if we are talking a budget of around 65k, surely you can compare these two great cars to the Ferrari 360 maybe? DB9? Vanquish? RS4? M6? M5? E92 M3?

All these cars have good and bad points.

Ferrari

You might as well have ' I have a small penis on the number plate ' But who cares.... He is in a Ferrari....

Audi RS4

Understated all round great car but ' Its an Audi '

BMW M6.

You would be thinking to yourself ' Why didn't I get the M5??? '.

Aston

Class. More special than a Jag and in my opinion looks better.

But would this discussion exsist if the Jag had an Aston martin badge on it?

Dear John,

the XKR not only looks plastic - it smells plastic too and for the driving experience - hmmm - there i think that my V8 Vantage corners better than the XKR and sounds way better and the all over finish is WAY BETTER!

And for the gearbox: i don't think you can compare an automatic gearbox (XKR) to an automated gearbox (Sportshift in the AM)- not talking about the singing noise of the Supercharger....

But i am honest the XKR would be the second choice after the V8 Vantage wink

Stupid Question AMV8 or course. XKR is for Fat Oldies that cannot change gear (TRUCK).

I have an awfully nice pre 1920 full length Quilted smoking jacket that I can send you if you like. It comes with matching birds eye tweed quilted slippers and of course an ivory pipe.
