Last minute advice on DBS/DB9
Discussion
Evening All
As mad as this sounds I'm taking delivery of either a db9 volante or dbs volante tomorrow.
I've driven both and still can't make my mind up.
The DBS is faster harder and louder but the db9 is sleeker and ticks most boxes (in my opinion of course). I just can't help feeling that the DBS is that different from the db9 for the price.
Both are two year old cars.
Does anyone have any views that put one massively above the other.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Both cars were in the showroom and I've put a deposit down. just need to make my mind up now.
I was leaning towards getting the DB9 then chop it in after a year against a DBS if I like it.
On the other hand should I just jump in and get the DBS now.
I've had Porsche's up until now so don't really know much about either of these models.
They're not as practical as the Porsche but you're only here once and a change is as good as a rest!

Sorry I meant "isn't that different". For the money in my opinion but am I missing something?What are the two costs by the way, colours too.

DBS is Carbon Black with black interior/hood. DB9 is Storm Black (black with metallic red flecks and looks better than it sounds) with black interior/hood. Both have B&O sound system.
I incorrectly stated that I was taking delivery today I just need to let them know today.
Job done!!!
Both cars turned up this morning and I drove both again. All the common sense told me to go for the DB9 but romancer in me, coupled with the realisation that it's very cramped in the back and that the kids will be much bigger in a few years time was enough to sway me.
If I'm honest, the DBS looks far better on the drive as well so that's what I went for.
The next car I buy will have to have four proper seats. Therefore, I've only got 2-3 years in a DB9 and there's no point b*ggering about!
Still, then I'll be able to get a Range Rover and a Series 1 1/2 Drophead E-Type in BRG.
Thanks for all the advice.

Did you purchase from wilmslow by any chance?
Funnily enoough, the car was from Wilmslow and I live nearby but went to the one in Derby on Saturday to look at the DB9 in question and they came up with this as well.So I bought a Wilmslow car from the Derby dealership which is odd.
They were very nice people to deal with though.
