I agree with Ivans comment. Given the choice of an AM or Ferarri to tour Europe mines the AM. Oh and the power is a most welcome addition. Aston M. do appear to be up 'n' coming in the race world with competetive machines.

How come the wheels in the pictures don't match the specs or option as listed? More importantly why don't I have one in the garage yet?

How come the wheels in the pictures don’t match the specs or option as listed?

More importantly why don’t I have one in the garage yet?

It makes no difference whether the roof is up or down, the cars goes around bends like no other drop top. At over 200km/h you can carry on a normal conversation!

The Vantage may not outdrag an equivalently priced Maserati or Porsche (it would be close) but I can assure you that the Vantage V8 has extraordinary grip and handling levels when pushed hard into bends. Such is the car's balance that you would think it was all wheel drive! Oh, before I forget.

Plus the added bonus of looking better than anything else on the road and its not as if they are slow either, and the sound is second to none.
