The threads on new Vanquish seem to be getting a little repetitive (and frequent) so thought I'd ask?

Am I the only one on here who isn't obsessed with waffling on about the new 310/Vanquish model? It seems that we've had endless discussions, firstly on what it looks like, then which model it's going to replace, then what it looks like now we've seen new pictures, then whether it is a real model or a pre-production prototype or whether it is the colour that might be be wrong and perhaps if we saw it in grey or green..... Then we start all over again with exactly the same arguments/discussion/comments, only this time it's definitely going be called to called "Vanquish" - which everyone hates so we've another thing to argue over.

Seriously, is anyone going to place an order now? If so do you really care what it's called, how big/ugly/ill designed the front splitter is, or whether it is a Vanquish, DB9, DBS, Virage replacement? No you will buy it because it's the new Aston and the best one they make (save One-77 and Zagato) and you can afford it.

The rest of us, many of whom will not be buying one (at least not until they lose some money) are like a bunch of old women criticising Doris at no 39 because we don't like the colour of her curtains.

I love it BTW and want one, end of story. Are there any of you that if you were given one as a gift would not think it an amazing car?

soapbox . argue

Blimey Steve. Chill out matey. It's Friday and beer o'clock is only a couple of hours away. FWIW I feel exactly the same about the bloody football. Quite frankly I don't give a fk how long it took the commentator to get back to his hotel. It however seems very newsworthy on 5 Live. Finally we do have a choice of radio stations and forums!!! biggrin

And there was me thinking this was a forum to discuss all things "Aston". I would have thought the first launch of a series of new model lines was up there in importance and interest with the best of them.

Without wishing to offend, the answer is simple. If the discussions on the new model don't interest you, then don't read the threads. Im quite sure its not compulsory to read every thread!

Isn't it a bit ironic creating a thread about the new Vanquish that is just to complain about the amount of threads about the new Vanquish? silly

And if I was given one it would be sold and replaced with a different Aston smile

But Steve makes an excellent point...
Doris' curtains are DREADFUL!!! One of them has an awful split in the front and it's high time she changed them!!!

Why don't you make a thread to complain about the number of Vanquish threads Neil? And then talk about the new Vanquish in it hehe
