Hi all

Old man is looking to change car. Currently has a 2015 A8, don't need such a big car anymore.
Shortlist currently Aston DB11, Targa 4S or Lexus Lc500. Occasional use 4 seats would be nice but not essential
Any thoughts on anything else?

Thanks

I'm bias as I really like the LC500 as they're a cracking car & you'll get a great one for well under 80k:

Yeah I'm with ZX, I'd pick a Lexus LC500 in a heartbeat. Sonic red with ochre leather interior for me, like this one

If a DB11 is on the list then a Vanquish has got to be worth a look.

As the rear seats are as good as useless anyway in all options, the Mercedes AMG GTS is an interesting package.

Or how about a brand new Lotus Emira?

Thanks for the suggestions, LC500 defo near the top in that case. He likes it, I'm more swaying towards DB11 but can't complain either way

GTS good option thanks, he's not sure in the emira bit too sports car'y as he turns 60 this year . Potentially the same issue with the GTS

Cheeky git, I turn 60 in 10 days! I’d have an Emira in a heartbeat, but an Alpine is more my cuppa tea.
Sheesh, f’ing young’uns…….
