The new Vantage?

I had my car in for service and I was genuinely shocked how big the new vantage is , the db12 was a bit longer but the bonnet and width were very similar size ,not sure I’d like to hustle that down a small road .
Yeah they have certainly gone up a size since the old VH platform, which itself is not a small sportscar for hustling down UK roads...my V12VSR in the showroom next to a DB12
Paul Wallace & Seb Delaney’s take on latest Vantage and some gorgeous scenery around Monaco, Know these guys aren’t everyone’s ‘cup of tea’ however they appear to enjoy the car enormously. Car is hugely over-specified (€84K options!) however would you expect a sports car in a Monaco MD showroom to be ‘poverty spec’?
Another video (also available as a podcast) from Sam Fane & ‘Tony from Gravelwood cars’ reviewing Tony’s feedback on driving experiences of a ‘new new’ Vantage demonstrator over a weekend (note this is the same red demonstrator that I drove from the Sevenoaks dealership).
Know there’s not much love for these guys hereabouts (and they are self-declared, dyed-in-the-wool Porsche & Ferrari ‘fan-boys’), however Tony’s feedback on the car is largely positive (especially as a former ‘Aston-sceptic’) with some constructive criticism.
Feel free to ignore the video/podcast if these guys wind you up!

I can’t watch those videos with those people (and I watch every video).
Fully understand, and I also sometimes struggle with some of these YouTubers (I actually block Shmee & Mr JWW because of their lack of authenticity & ‘smarminess’), however I’m living vicariously through this content until my own ‘new new’ Vantage arrives in September!That looks lovely VantageHead, I bet you can’t wait to take delivery!
I’ve test driven the new Vantage in Monaco, that very same Podium Green car featured in the shared YouTube video above and it’s mega!
The colour you’ve chosen looks very nice, which one is it? Maybe you told us which one it was in an earlier post, if this is the case I missed it somehow.

Thank you Olivier! Paint colour is Titanium Grey, which is a golden colour with flecks of green metallic (like Ronny, I also think green works well with the car!). Wheels are satin bronze with bronze calipers and interior has copper contrast stitching on onyx black.I’ve test driven the new Vantage in Monaco, that very same Podium Green car featured in the shared YouTube video above and it’s mega!

Interested to hear you drove the same Podium Green demonstrator as Seb/Paul - Monaco looks a lovely place to test drive a car - so much better than the cratered and potholed roads here in the ‘broken’ UK!

Hahaha! I totally get it. I do this whenever I am waiting for a new car. That’s how I got the dislike for mincing Sam and that chav guy. 
Maybe in a year I might trade for this. I don’t know why because I love my current roadster. But I love this more.
I really have to stay off that configurator.
