Aston Martin Vanquish vs Ferrari 550 Maranello

Which do you like more?
Take into account:
- Looks
- Performance
- Prestige
- Reliability
- English vs Italian

I am completely undecided.

Would you like a bloody cup of tea Guv'nor. No comparo needed Ferrari all the way. Aston's are just cars, Ferrari's define passion

Both are great and it's hard to pick. But I'll take the 550 Maranello. Only because of a few things though. They are both very very good cars.

VERY HARD Comparo- but n terms of the aftermarket- Ferrari has it sewn up (Koenig) even stock for stock for stock the Ferrari moves and handles much better than the Aston- and they are by far more "passionate car"- However if you want Luxury then that is where the Aston shines

Ferrari rocks this poll all the way. Aston Martin's are too heavy and handling sucks.

You'd be suprised- but some people do- Just because you don't and I don't doesn't mean the next guy won't

If you hear the sound a Vanquish makes your dreams of owning a Ferrari will rapidly evaporate.. The word "sound" doesnt even do it justice. Jeremy Clarkson described it as "God shouting" :hehe:

After seeing the Vanquish at the Detroit Auto Show a couple years ago, I feel in love! I will own one someday - just not yet.

You bet your ass i heard it first hand... a guy who lives on my street has one.... i was driving behind him for a few minutes once (trying hard to keep with him) and it really sounded incredible, like nothing else out there.... not surprising, with a trick exhaust and all... still, gorgeous sound... not outrageous like a Diablo but just as sexy
