I own a Vanquish and I have to say it's fantastic, it has never broken down, I love the paddle shift and it goes like stink. When you drive through town people stop and stare, jump out and wave, the car just draws the crowds. It is still the ultimate Aston. Masculine and full of personality.

Say what you want,but it`s the last real old skool Aston Martin,and I like it that way.
The current cars are a bit girly compared to proper Astons like this...trophy wifes cars,dare I say.
Too bad they didn`t offer manual gearbox...
...yea I know the "Ultimate Edition" had manual,but they made only 50 of them...and a bit too late,as it was going out of production.Should have been manual from the beginning.

...and it breaks down a lot. Go for a Gayardo everytime....or maybe that Audi thats £40k cheaper, with the same engine?!!

Yes, really, Instead of this, a Ferrari Testarossa or at least a Maserati MC12 would be more consitent in your views.

I agree! He and Coogan were going on about the Vantage and saying that even though it was not as good as the Ferrari they would both go for it because of its 'soul'. Surely at least on that basis there must be another bad car that he could choose from.

Maybe someone should remind JC that during an episode of Top Gear, he and sidekick Steve Coogan test drove the Vanquish S against the superlative Ferrari 575 HGTC, they both ended up choosing the Aston Martin as the car they would buy ?
Contradiction in JC's ramblings is evident everywhere you read his rants - done, I'm certain, to produce a provocative reaction from the 'REAL' hardcore fans of the marques.

Through my government contacts, I have privy to the fact that before Tony Blair steps down, his last job is to remove the Jeremy Clarkson's out of the UK genepool. Think about it, JC can't properly drive an Aston, he tries to kill his daft son with an quad, tries to snuff Hammond who is faster , keeps Top gear ratings high, and according to my girlfriend, better looking,. Furthermore, JC's shirt patterns look like pajama tops from a young boys school. The only problem is they can't find a replacement for JC's writing and entertainment. Keep up the great work.
