Default XKR-S GT vs. Aston Martin V12 Vantage S

Cameron posted this for Throwback Thursday, but both of these babies look just as good today as they did when they left the factory, and I'd be happy to flog either one.

I'll take the Aston Martin V12S Vantage. Regular V8V and XKR-S is a tough pick.

I would choose the XKR-S GT, but only if they had made it in a convertible, and it would need to be painted Caviar, and have regular (cooled/heated) seats and a non-fuzzy/spongy leather steering wheel.

I'd like to get a 2015 or newer AM Vanquish when I'm done with the XKR.


..... OR a probably-will-be-eventually-XKR Replacement; IF it isn't F-Type based.

Vanquish S is the best buy on the exotic car market IMO. All carbon fiber body, brute of V12 for cars selling around 120K. Seems like a no brainer for me if I were looking at that price range. Aston sells warranties that like the factory on cars up to 12 years old.

Yeah, I knew that when I posted, but got tired of searching for a 15 or newer 'orange' one.

Yeah, the warranty would be key there. I have a buddy who picked up a used FF, and a warranty was the only reason he pulled the trigger.
