no.....its just faster more expensive and better......think of it like a Porsche....the DB9 is a 911 ....and the V8V is a Boxter.........if you get the V8V people will always say to you "couldn't you afford a DB9" ?

I was trying really hard to think of a witty comment for this....

Although I don't see any used 911's cheaper than used boxters??

Even Steve agrees and he owns a V8V ........I rest my case........or even QED

And if you get a DB9, people could say: "couldn't afford a DBS or a Vanquish?" And if you get get a Vanquish, people could say: "couldn't afford a Huayra?" What's the point?

Boxster, let's spell it right.

Of course you are wrong, because anyone that doesn't own an Aston can't tell the difference anyway.

The DB9.2 latest spec has equal BHP to but greater torque than, a DBS. So 'old mans cruiser' is sounding far less appropriate these days (if indeed it ever was). Quite apart from the Vantage being the model that is used by all the race teams, it will always have the more sporty, waspy look about it for sure. Me, I just love'm all.

Teeth and demister vents don't rattle in a DB9

As a general rule you will find that better looking men - Yeti, Mr Gould, Woolders, Hairy Bob etc - will own a DB9. The more unfortunate crash test dummies - Neil, Ed etc - will be naturally drawn to the smaller car

No they couldn't say "couldn't afford a Huayra?". Nobody can pronounce that, not even the Welsh

[divetheworld]

Where was it I heard "If it matters how you arrive, get the DB9. If it matters how you get there, get the V8V"?

Quite true.

And if BOTH matter, then DBS
