I saw the Aston Martin V8 Vantage at Gaydon yesterday. Who knows what it will be like dymnamically (given what Evo says about DB9 this month, may disappoint) but aesthetically it is drop dead gorgeous in the metal. Price will be around £75k to £80k - or as they put it between a standard Carrera and a Turbo. Spizz

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I read last week that they go on sale in 9 months. So I guess around Easter '05.
I told my Porsche sales rep that if they would give it to me in writing that Porsche UK will warrant the 997 RMS and gearbox for life or 150,000 miles (no tracking), I would buy one. Otherwise I will go for the AMV8. Guess which car I am buying next?
My only problem with the AM V* is that I would find it difficult to justify £80k and 2 seats. Spizz
What do you think will be the Aston's Achiles heel?
I saw the prototype at Geneva 2003 ............. Stunning ! Now all we need is 70k, interesting that that started at 50k though !!
997 of course [ ]
Can you find any car company that will offer a life/150k warranty of any sort? Will AM offer that for their gearbox?
