Last Friday I became the absolutely delighted owner of a brand new MY09 V8 Vantage Coupe. It has a gear lever and a clutch pedal, Sports Pack, and is generally fully optioned. Colors are Onyx Black/Obsidian Black/Obsidian Black headlining/Red coarse stitching.

I couldn't be happier -- what an extraordinary motorcar!

Lovely looking car, congratulations and it's got a stick to change gear. You might miss that if you buy a Cygnet with paddle shift!

Love it!

Really like the all black with the Sportpack wheels. Has it got the clear rear lights as well?
Enjoy

Thanks for the good words -- I couldn't be happier. As for the BAD words, AMD and Angel, you know very well I would never contribute to the destruction of the great Aston Martin marque by buying that tarted-up iQ abomination.

Oh, the rear lights are plain old red, and I like them. I do think clear rear lights would look good with the black paint, though.

XXXangelXXX,

I know, but I just couldn't resist the opportunity to mention that the Cygnet is an abomination and that it will cause the end of the world as we kno... er, wait, getting a little carried away wink

So, if it won't upset me, you'll cancel your order? Consider me no longer irked !

If that happens, sadly, it will be the FORMERLY great Aston Martin marque.

Thanks, gents. Absolutely loving it.

Verminator, at least they also have us drive on the wrong side, so it sort of balances out...

New V12V, thanks, and your car is AWESOME.
