^ Yeah, I think I agree with you. When the Vantage came out, everyone just raved about its looks, but, to my eye, the DB9 is much prettier. I never understood why people thought the Vantage is the best-looking Aston (I frequently came across this opinion in articles). The added length of the DB9 really makes the design, since the overall theme is about the same between both it and the Vantage. But, then again, I'm a sucker for a long, front-engined GT. Best looking cars out there.

I think the Vantage is much sexier than the DB9, as is the Vanquish. The DB9 is pretty, but lacks the aggression of the other two.

Sorry, just too many Lotus Elan flashbacks. ugh.
When I first saw I might have agreed, but as it saw it more, it just becomes cheesier. Next to the DB9, it just pales. I agree the Vanquish S is probably the best of the lot, but also by far the most expensive. The upcoming DBS is among one of the nicest cars I have ever seen. True Pimp.

This is the most beautiful car Maserati has produced since it's F1 days.
I feel like a chode for wanting it more than a Scaglietti. If it had the same V12 this would be one of the best cars ever. Certainly one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a long long time.

Yep, but Aston is considered a higher end brand, just like Maserati's competitive cars in the Porsche, MBZ & BMW line are less expensive.
Also, the Vantage only has a 380 hp V8, so the 400+ hp Mas is somewhere in between. Rumor has it that AM will be coming out with a SC'ed Vantage down the line somewhere.
