Had the Vantage for a few weeks now and still grinning from ear to ear. The sun has come out cool, so thought I'd seize the opportunity to take some snaps. Just adore the mix of heritage colours with the modern Aston. Loving every minute of it!! biggrin

Behind the original Vanquish, DB9, DBS and Virage... Sure wink

Love that colour combo, one of the most distinctive Vantages out there.

After the original Vanquish, the Vantage is the best proportioned and best looking modern era Aston. And yours is lovely in that green and colour combination interior.

Best proportioned? Hardly.

The DB9/DBS/Virage are properly proportioned, since that is the 'original' design, if you will. The Rapide is too long and the V8V is too short.

Me too.

What is the interior? Looks like Parliament Green for the carpets and ???? for the leather?

I chose a Vantage over a DB9 for two reasons - I preferred a smaller car, and I felt the proprtions of the Vantage are better than the DB9. Each to their own!

The argument for best proportions is surly subjective?



Jess Ennis or Eva Green?

Apparantly it is not subjective but quite specific, and the Vantage is apparently, the most perfect example of the rule. And it's got a proper engine and not two Mondeo engines welded together

Let's be honest, we're splitting hairs here. It's a bit like having to choose between Keira knightly, Liz Hurley, and scarlet johansson ( or insert your own preferred choices here). If we could take all three we would!! yum

Yes indeed, it is a surly topic. I get angry every time someone suggests that a V8V is the best looking of all Astons and that it is perfectly proportioned.

Surely this is not subjective, it it?

And the Vanquish is just perfect!

Apparently men are attracted to pie eaters if they are stressed..........female or mechanical could answer this question.
