Personally I'd love to form a first hand opinion

Me to.....Love the style, interior and the sound.........The only one I've been in is the V12 Vantage and to be honest that would be top of my dream list as was an animal...

Car taste is a funny thing and Astons (although look similar) are different beasts and do split opinion - a friend has a DBS and he loves it as do I its stunningly rapid, the DB9 was a huge huge let down and the rapide wasnt nice to drive when I tested it, the older vanquish is a dream id love to fulfill.

My wife loves the old Vanquish...Her dream car...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..............................a big iron lump............ancient...........crude....lacking in refinement, etc..........please say you were joking...Matt!!!

The 'big iron lump' has been redesigned by Lamborghini and is cast in aluminium. I think Lamborghini also did some work on the heads but as far as I can find out, it is still push-rod. Keeps the profile low so the bonnet can be low as well.

Not a fan though.

So its a big lump of aluminium then........and you mean Audi....

I haven't driven one but sitting in a DB9 (I think, I can't tell most of them apart) it felt like a velvet coffin, very small.

 

[Parisien]

Well.......that was another improvement.......a proper female petrolhead....put a few of us to shame on here.

I enjoyed the race.......just proved the Yanks only ever make make SH!TE cars...........140 mile range......at decent speeds...they are having a laff!!!!!!!

The GT86 was interesting.........shame about the skinny wheels and having a mazda light bulb doppleganger

The QP got a mention.......going on about its headlights....WTF!!??

Banter was better.......lots of laffs

So...an 8/10 score

[Max Swell]

Agreed P they didn't spend enough time on the masser but hey ho!

The shelby sounded great but too small a tank and a bit basic inside.

Getting better tho......I give ........SEVEN!!

 

[Parisien]

SEVEN??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....is your real name Bruno Toneolli??!!....

[safrane]

I agree with the QP lights comments...looks to piggy eyed to me.

 

[dem maser]
