Ducati
Maserati.


My dad and I went back and forth on this about a month ago before he pulled the trigger, and well, IMO the Maserati was just that much better! The DB9 is the better cruiser, but the Maserati is a better drivers car... If that matters much.



I also tried to talk pops into getting an SL65... Did not quite work!

Thanks for the input mang. My dad previously had a gransport but we got rid of it due to end of lease and high maintenance costs. For some reason my dad isn't sold on the SL65 either. lol

Yeah they designed it like that so it wouldn't hit the curb.

Db9 all the way. Aston martins are so much more unique and have thought put into them, it's like they were made lovingly, while the maserati is more cold and clinical and just assembled parts. Weird description I know, but that's how I feel.

Although you can get a vanquish S now for the same price range and that car is a HELL of a lot sexier, much more presence on the road!

I feel you man. DB9 is a sexy car. But I did not know the Vanquish S are in the same price range. Whats the last year of the S models with 520hp?

2006! The vanquish is just the most beautiful car! And a lot more unique than a db9. It was the flagship until the DBS came out

As much as I HATE Astons, I have to agree that the Vanquish and the Vanquish S are quite possibly the most beautiful cars that have ever roamed the Earth.

Personally I think the new Jag XKR is nicer (curvier) than the DB9 or DBS, but it'll be a while before I pony up any cash for a Jag, Aston or Land Rover product.

96 and 08 911 turbos
astons look nice but are total snoozers to drive. The maser didn't blow my skirt up either.

I'd take the aston out of those two, but neither is what I'd spend my 80k on.

E55 then E63, now back to an E55
as far as doors, you are correct they point slightly up.
but i thought you were referring to diablo/murci/slr style.
my fault for misunderstanding....
