Absolutely so!
The Aston has soul, whereas the Ferrari looks like an electric Corvette...
It was hard to see the cars properly because 99% of the video showed a bloke sitting behind a steering wheel. However I do see an 'American' trend - namely the back of the Aston and the front of the Ferrari. It makes a pleasant change from every car evolving into the same shape.The Aston has soul, whereas the Ferrari looks like an electric Corvette...

"The Ferrari is simple and has a certain chic elegance to the interior, but its bones still feel more supercar than GT. I love the low scuttle and the way the front wings frame the road. There’s a real sense of focus. However, the Aston counters with a much more palpable sense of craftsmanship. The materials are more sumptuous, the detailing more meticulously considered. Plus, the Aston’s mix of touchscreen and physical buttons is vastly better than the 12Cilindri’s arrangement, which has backed off from the hell of the SF90/296 GTB haptic-only UI with the addition of a central touchscreen, but remains a frustrating compromise. By the time we reach the foothills of the Gran Sasso national park, the Aston is proving irresistible."

I'm rooting for it. On paper I can't imagine why it'll be good, but I hope it's good.RSbandit said:
£372k ?! Wow that’s crazy wonder what it’ll be worth after 3 yrs.
My 4yo DBS cost me 1/3 of that !!

At 3 years, 50% is roughly the rule.
Many of us on here take great care of our cars, and probably the majority are also lightly used.
The result, cars a number of years old, still look almost brand new.
Beautiful condition VH V12 Vantage manuals can be found for £60,000 / £70,000 ish.
Possibly the huge prices now, might make prospective buyers think what could be owned for £372,000. An interesting car collection maybe?
Is white with a black rear end, perhaps a risky choice for a showroom car?

Yeah you could have an older V12 Aston flagship and a spicy McLaren/Lambo/Ferrari for £370k …new cars are just crazy expensive now it’s not just Aston, one of these at £200k in a few yrs time would be interesting. The DBS 770 Ultimates have a huge amount to fall given they are still over £300k in classifieds .
