I would go for the DB9 on this one without hesitation...What do you think?

[DinanM3_S2]

For speed, handling, or styling? Porsche Turbo is amazing.
Interior- Probably the DB9
From the stats i've seen, the M6 will be very good, but not in the same class as the others.

Oh, you shouldn't have included the DB9, because once I saw Aston Martin, my mind completely blanked out the rest, so it was no contest, Aston Martin hands down.

it was a tough choice between the aston and the porsche. but i just personally like the porsche better. one thing bad about aston, they are starting to look all the same now.

I agree, but I'm certain that you cannot deny they all look stunningly beautiful...

Again, it's a difference of philosophy. Aston Martin believes in having signature body styling that can easily be recognized as being Aston Martin. If they all of a sudden made a car that looked completely different, no one would even know it was an Aston Martin unless they saw a badge.

Not to mention, they are not all the same, in fact, they are quite different. Perhaps to the untrained eye they look similar, but all the signature ques are there, but always implemented differently than the other models. Also, the front grill is shaped similar, but are almost always a different size, and positioned slightly different than the other models.

Also, there are many dimension differences, and there are differences in the stance of the cars. Even the position of the doors are different with respect to the rest of the car.

I guess it's true that they would look similar if you're not really into them and would recognize the difference, but for people who can afford them, and are interested in buying them, you can bet they can tell the difference, and I guess that is what really matters.

Of course you can tell the difference, but they're undoubtedly very similarly styled. I live in the UK and see a handful of Astons every day. The DB9 is certainly a looker, but i was fairly disappointed at how similar it looked to previous Astons, and in my mind it isnt better looking than the DB7.

I'd go for the turbo porsche 911 no doubt. Its got speed, style, sex appeal and best of all its a porsche not a merc or bmw which are common as hell here. The aston martin is a bit more exotic but I just don't like the way it looks. IMO the porsche is the best looker in the bunch.

[freakonaleash1187]

what demon said brings something to my mind. porsche. if you don't know porsche that well, they will all look the same. because they do all have the same basic body shape and front-end and back-end. so i guess what i said in my first post about all aston's looking the same isn't a good argument because to the untrained eye, all (except carrera gt) porsches look the same. it happens.

I'll still have the DB9...German cars are that much colder than the classy British motors

I would say that I like the proportions of the DB9 more than those of the DB7 since I find them more modern and a little more aggressive, even though it's not as aggressive-looking as the Vanquish is....

[Demon_Mustang]

Freak, but it isn't really a bad thing, Porsches look similar because that design works, and people love it. Don't fix something that isn't broken.

[crayzayjay]

911's look the same because its the same model evolving through time. Aston's whole range looks similar. (yes, i am aware of the similarity between the Boxster & 996 (mk1) but #1 Porsche wasnt cash rich at the time and thus had to resort to part-sharing, and #2 that was pretty much the only similarity between the models).

Put simply, with someone as talented as Ian Callum styling AM's i would have liked to see a little more invention on the outside (the inside looks great).

[Demon_Mustang]

I disagree, if they changed the look of Aston Martin, I would hate that. I love the way they look, and I love the signature styling. That look is theirs, and if anyone else tries to do it, we can say "they are trying to rip off Aston Martin."

[V8slayer]

And Aston is still losing money if I'm not mistaken. So how can you use the Porsche was not cash rich arguement. I believe Ford is holding it's wallet very tight as they're losing billions every year too. They're talking about making Aston profitable in about 2-3 years when they can produce 5000 cars a year.
