Our 4.0 and a manual transmission. Must be an engaging car. Strange, however, that they had to eliminate such a small amount of torque for transmission reliability??

I’ve seen one of these on the street in yellow and I have to say it looked pretty cool ....much better than guppy pics.

Dunno if you saw this, it's with the auto in the Aston but still fun to watch.

This tbh. The Aston looks too pedestrian in person, almost miata like from the front (not the rear of course), and with that starting price premium + depreciation... Hard pass.

Everything on the Aston, aside from the MB parts, will break and be unreliable.

This reminds me of F1 with Mercedes-AMG Petronas passing out customer engines to the junior teams of Williams and Racing Point.

Last year’s engines if I’m not mistaken!

My Vantage has been very reliable in the first year I’ve had it.
