I'm starting to like Aston Martins a lot!
Have I hit 'that age'?

No, mate. The new design language is just less refined than it used to be.
If I had the money not sure where I'd go through, V12 Vantage, Vanquish or Cali T. Nice dilemma to have though.
I think Vanquish may just nudge it. But then the Cali T is a Ferrari.......
You'd be a squeeze in a Vantage. I'd say Vanq or the Cali T.
Isn't it just. The entire body is carbon, did you know? What a way to travel. I'd like a blue one, but for some reason hardly any were made. AM uses some Fezza colours, so I'd want TDF Blue.
I would struggle by with the black. Didn't know that body was carbon. I imagine it shifts a bit then.
There is a blue coupe up for sale though at Aston Martin Cheltenham.

Neither did I......but prefer ignorance as that was bliss!Never realised Vanquish prices were so keen......
Mrs Cud thinks it’s silly and has too few seats. Countering with an observation that it’s arguably got one more than necessary is ill-advised.
I bet that’s fun to drive at 550hp! Love the colour combination on yours too.I moved from Maserati to a facelift DB9 about 6 months ago - basically a renamed Virage with a few further improvements. The V12 is magnificent, but a little quiet as standard. However, I had the AM GT upgrade done which takes power up to 550bhp and includes a sports exhaust. It now sounds perfect without being obnoxiously loud - possibly now the best sounding car I’ve ever owned. And the performance is epic - just spent two days with some friends blasting around Snowdonia and never enjoyed driving a car more. I’m really enjoying the brand too, although I echo Adam’s comment that it could do with a forum with a bit more life in it! And I too love the fact that they fully respect their heritage
