well not completely because the Aston's design is quite nice.
What makes me angry is the Jaguar S type, the chassis is a Ford Taurus with a Jaguar body style. That makes me so sick that a car company that makes some of the tackiest cars is buying companies that make some of the most beautiful cars.

Well, even the Vanquish has some cheaper ford switchgear. Also, the aluminum on the steering wheel isnt aluminum; its painted plastic

But as for the Viper/575 Maranello debate; the Ferrari may not be as outright fast, but it is fast enough to be thrilling. Also, it is more rare, completely hand-made, has more panache, is more comfortable inside, etc.

Essentially, you have the law of diminishing returns; you have to spend more and more for less and less. And it comes down to the fact that if you can afford a 575 Maranello, you would have a Viper if you wanted one.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!?! I also noticed that the digital clock in the dashboard of the Vanquish looks suspiciously like the one in the 1990 Taurus. why do I feel so sick?

Yes, it is painted plastic; apparently shaping the aluminum wasnt practical; it would bend to easily or not have a nice grain to it.
Oh well; it is a gorgeous car.

Yes, I am done absorbing, that is one pure Brittish car.
What kind of engine does it have to let it accelerate that fast?
