Last AMV8...before I go...

[Volken]

I believed to never pronounce such demise of AM presently...but...
Last true Aston Martin is surely Vantage Le Mans V8 (1999-2000)

Most of the people from Blocham are now new Ford people with one task on mind MAKE MONEY!

AM never in its history generated profit as direction for its company.
It was those enthusiast car owners (also share holders) that lifted the same in times of difficulty.
Vanquish engine is almost entirely Ford (Cosworth) team made with grace of AM signature.
Entire interior is made of Ford Mondeo switches, not to mention very suspicious aluminum look (savings) where wood was at premium.
V8 is work of art from any angle of car creation.

Under 4 seconds for car that is heavy as Bentley or RR (2400) while only those that could fit fingers of one hand are almost 50% lighter is something to think about.

This is full 2+2 seater with real trunk and although no such thing exist...
both capable of storm and yet very comfortable car.

Petty, that only real to Fleming book-Bond Timothy Dalton, failed to take V8 for the last spin for his 3thd never seen Bond.
Alas, history will remember virtue of real V8.

but its still a good car

Vanquish or V8?

Vanquish is OK by standards of sports car, but at standards of AM, not really.

I took a spin at German Autohause Singen and it is not match to V8.
For that money TVR or Elise with left enough for petrol is a more blissful thought.

[farbod]

no way i will rather have an aston

[Volken]

Well, do you like like an appearance or substance?

Elise is almost a reference for handling and it is only car that I'm aware that corners like a real cart! Tvr has no helping or correction tools, just in service of road. You might failed to learn, but TVR and TWR
(Tom Walkinshaw) are often helping in designing extra tuning to AM drivers and users. In real world it is a real drive for a real price.

I always admired AM but you wont find any serious car source that would justify AM cost/performance with Vanquish particularly with
interior and I have seated inside that car. Compared to V8 Vantage it really looks like better quality Ford Cougar.
People dream placing objects of desire much higher then they really are destined in real sense of the world.

Yeah, talking about the soon to come Ford Cougar im guessing.
Right about how you wont find any serious car souce that woud justify Aston Martins cost/performance w/Vanquish.... will agree.
