Aston Martin DB7 Vantage

I saw a Vantage for the first time today and I must say that it's a very nice looking automobile, in my opinion. Viewed it up close while in traffic from the rear and right side. Couldn't get into position for a front view, but I imagine it's pretty typical Aston Martin. Very nice, except for the price.

One of the prettiest modern cars on the road. I love the Aston designs, classy.

Yes, but as Clarkson says it's a "jag in drag." The new DB9 is the Aston to have. Nearly as powerful as a Vanquish, much cheaper, a better gear box, and much lighter with better road manners. That's the car to have....

Only place I've seen them are the car shows. I left stains after seeing it.

I was in london one day, when a screaming lamborghini went by me.
I liked it, but then, a slowly moving V12 vanquish came by and stopped... I forgot the lambo in a matter of seconds...
you have to hear those cars to see what I mean. I'd buy it just for the sound and over the lambo for sure with no second thoughts!

Last time I was in France I was cruising along at about 140kph in my TD Mercedes and a DB7 went tearing by me like I was standing still. Pretty cool cars and always nice to see someone using their cars for what they were meant to do Though I prettymuch forgot all about it when I was driving a 355 Berlinetta the following day.
