Gorgeous car! Sorry for the phone quality. Haven't heard it driving yet, but am eager to!

Forgot to add, I sometimes think people exaggerate how beautiful Astons are, but every time I see one in person (rare in NO VA) I'm impressed and drooling.

Yes, pics don't do them justice - they're among the most gorgeous and well-crafted cars ever. They nail the little styling details like nobody else in the business IMO.

They are certainly gaining in popularity in TX. I've seen many in Houston recently and a couple new ones in Austin. There has always been a few in Dallas.

Not sure about the DB9 but the Vantage sounds ABSOLUTELY MEAN. It's incredibly loud. I love it.

*Waits for JohnnyChang to chime in*

That is an absolutely beautiful car! Any chance you can get a ride with your neighbor?

I hear people say all the time that Jags sort of look like astons...until you see them in the same pic! That jag looks like a POS next to that thing. (no offense if that is your jag, lol)

No offense, that's his old XKR. It's for sale. The newer XKs do look a bit like Astons (same designer, right?) but like you say, side by side they look a lot different.
