That particular AM is cute but is certainly not the hot chick in the room with the Jag next to it.

So, which one of you was the "Trailer" and which one was the "RV?"

Say's you .
Sorry no disrespect for any owners involved , just my opinion I guess . The f-type is a beutifull and stunning beast and I love it ! but looks sculpted in Japan and mass produced beside that Aston . I think white may be my problem here too I just don't like it , I'd have ether in a flash though . Great line up !

+1. The AM styling is more refined and elegant. But at 3 times the cost of an F-Type, I can't justify it.

My 2 favourite cars. However in my opinion the F type looks a little fresher which makes sense as it is. Although the AM with the V12 is something that belongs in my garage.

Thanks for sharing

Both beautiful designs, the AM edges it for me - so elegant and un-fussy. It really was a timeless design.

Both beautiful cars but the the rear of the F-Type is just so much nicer than the rear of the AM. That car is really in need of an update.

I still can't forgive Ford for slapping the AM grille on a Focus :-(

I used to think Aston Martin was the most gorgeous car on the road. Certainly one of them. That is until the F-Type came along and I agree that the F-Type just looks fresher and more modern. Never mind more aggressive.

They share a design heritage with Ian Callum and the queues are obvious. The AM is certainly refined with a much more posh interior but bang for the buck I'll take my FTYPE over the Vantage (except for the V12 race editions). Now the new DB11 is slowly growing on my but I don't need a second house mortgage at the moment! I'll keep my FTYPE

Yep...perhaps the blind men on here can read this too.

Yes, the F-Type was designed by Ian Callum, but I believe, Henrik Fisker designed the V8 Vantage.

Sorry, I read this comment 5 times and I still can't parse it. Are you implying that I'm blind?

Considering how much the front grill looks like it came from Ford, and how much cash you have to throw at the dealer, my F-Type looks Better and Better, as does yours.

Yep; I'll have to go with the majority; those two cars are about the best looking cars in the class but the F type is more updated and fresher.....the AM is just a bit....yesterday. Still gorgeous though.

I had a pretty nice B Class Aston at one point:

Granted, this was a Fiesta.

This is my current daily:

I put a gag license plate frame with a caricature AM symbol it.



But back on topic; I do like the Jag over the AM.

I agree the F-Type wins here, although I like a lot of the AM design features more. I'd think they did a better job of the rear wheel haunch. IMO, the Jag's is a little overstated and sometimes reminds me of a Camaro. I also can't stand Porsche and Jag and other manufacturers going to the centered exhaust.
