The poor man's Aston Martin?
Right now, if I could have any car it would be the new DB9 or Vanquish.
Do you think the 8 is a poor man's Aston?
If not, in your opinion what is the closest thing to a poor man's Aston?
Discuss! :D

I don't think the 8 is a poor man's anything, when was the last time a poor man could afford a 30,000 car? or any car for that matter.
Here's the poor man' Aston Martin: :D

The 8 is a rich man's rotary, not a poor man's 'anything' since it's unique and the most expensive rotary powered car available on the face of the Earth at this current point in time.

The Vanquish may be a LITTLE heavy at 4133lbs, but it still does 0-60 in 4.8 secs. The real bummer is after you shell out $200,000 they recommened 95 octane which can be found evrywhere 
, and it only get 11mpg! Now who's complaining about their RX8s gas milage?

Plus the 95 octane in europe is prettymuch the same as out 93 octane, they measure octane differently.

I would say the closest thing to a poor man's Aston is probably the Jaguar XKR. Much cheaper than the Aston, but seems similar in appearance & technology. Not cheap, but much cheaper than the Aston.

poor man's vanquish is the db9. thats how freakin expensive the vanquish is. same logic behind the modena being the "entry level" ferrari.
Although I guess the newer maseratis, at "only" 80-90k, take that place now.
