Hi All,

Thought I would post this thread that we have over on the Aston forum as a comparison between two very beautiful cars.





Hope all is well in the Jag world. (Anyone seen my Red XKR since I sold it)????

Not really sure it makes sense to compare them. Two great cars even if very different cars (ie for people who wants different thing from a cars)
The DB9 still remains the nicest of all. It will never be old eventually a classic. Certainly not the best dinamically but you can buy it even just to look at it
The F-Type is a great driver car (but till also very nice to see). Great fun to drive and dinamically very capable even on a circuit.

Would be very nice to have both or to have a mix of both!!!


PS: yours looks fantastic, my favourite colour (even if I am not a fan of the Sport wheels). I also like very much the white rear lights. What is the colour of the interior?

Here you go.





The sports wheels came as part of the 'Sports Pack'. Also finding a manual DB9 was a real bonus.

Very nice contrasting interiors.
Heard that the Sport packs makes it really stiff (and that is at the end of the day a great Sport GT and not a track car), what is your feeling?
Not sure I would like a manual on a car like that (probably would like that more on the F-Type) but neverteless fully understand that a manual makes you feel much more "alive" when driving

6 Litre V12 and proper manual box probably for less money v V8 and auto with a torque converter no contest.
