First off, excuse my forum name, been on here a loooong time....

So I currently have an Aston Martin Vantage, had it just over 18 months and I love it to pieces. It's only a weekend car as both the wife and i have company cars and have done 2 European Road trips in it and it is just faultless. I am a bit of a mileage snob however and it will be on 55k by the time I get back from Germany in September so wanting to change.

I have been test driving certain cars so far this summer, both more spacious and accommodating as the plan is hopefully to pop out a sprog at some point in the next 12 months (but can live without 4 doors). Drove a C63 507 edition which I did like alot, but was much quieter than I thought it would be (from the inside at least), also tried an RS4 Avant and RS5, less said about those the better, other than they're quite quick. M3/4/5 no doubt will be very fast but won't sound so good and be a bit dull too, plus most of the above are pretty common sites on the road these days.

So I keep looking at the Maser's because I really can't think of anything else that will come close to the drama, noise, rarity and road presence of my Vantage. Think a 4.7S with Skyhook is top of my wish list. Anybody here tell me if i'm looking at the wrong car?

Thanks in advance

Im based in the North West.

Why would a baby seat for the first 12 months not work if you don't mind me asking?

I know it's totally different to mine, but if I kept mine or got a newer 4.7 one then it would only be something I could then use, don't want it becoming an expensive ornament. Missus really enjoys going out in it and whilst I understand things will be different with a little one in tow, the option is at least there, lol

Vantage to a DB9 seems a natural progression to me. I looked at the Maserati when I got mine but whilst it's a decent looking car, in my opinion the DB9 looks better. And sounds better!
I've seen the back of a DB9, no chance for kids in the back!
