New V12V. With regret - you're out!
Discussion
Sadly I've let my slot (first one at my dealer!) go. After several drives and much soul searching, it's just not the car for me. Wanted something a bit more 'GT3ish' tbo. Also, at £150k, I can get a lightly used Scud - or a Gen2GT3 AND a GTR. Just too expensive and not quite the right 'feel' for me. Great shame.
PS. A truly fantastic car though. The pick of the Aston range and SO much more than a tweaked V8V. In fact I'd say the engine itself accounts for only 50% of the difference between the two cars.

Shame Pugs, although I haven't driven it I do want one, but I'm with you.... no way at £140-150k, put the expensive ceramics on the options list (like Porsche do)& re-price the beast please.
You know what happened to the N400 & all past "top end " Astons, so I would say its pretty guaranteed that the V12 drop like a stone unless the bad economy means very few are sold & demand outstrips supply long term! Having said this I wish it every success, superb car.

I definately want one ....when they are 3 years old and the price of a nearly new Vantage ...as I guess a lot of other people will too
With a limited run of only 1000 cars, I wonder whether that will happen?Grant3 said:
The 458 does look rather nice I must confess, but more than I am prepared to spend on a depreciating asset, although that won't stop me me drooling over yours though Murph & Pugs
Hi G,After years of buying and running for six months and flipping for list/near list I'm now a confirmed 'used' car buyer I think. Until the market changes OR something utterly 'I want the first one' comes along. At the moment the 458 and Macca qualify. Oh, and off to pic up GTR next w/e. Sorry - probably not the done thing to mention that on this forum!

why not its a great car !
I agree both that the GTR is a great car & that Angel has good taste.... in cars anyway The one thing that stops me getting a GTR is having owned a 911 Turbo the grunt is addictive & the speed reached in a few seconds comes with a free pair of handcuffs.... & I know I would be addicted enough to want to feel that G-force on regular basis.... officer
Pics please
