the DB9? the vantage is the entry model in the company, like comparing a boxter to a 911.

In my opinion the V8 vantage has the best noise but th DB9 has the looks. I probally prefer the V8 Vantage ever so slightly but they r both great cars

I'll take the V8 Vantage, it's just more ballsy imo. And having that Jaguar V8, or, Ford V8 if we really go back a ways, means you can modify it for the power anybody could really want.

DB9 for me. I think that you get more Aston Martin in DB9 then in V8. Like Ghalos said V8 has a Ford engine and probably much more from Ford then from Aston.

Sh*t, now that's a hard question.

I love both, both make the noise I want, both are extremely pretty to look at.

But, having seen a DB9 Volante close up on the street I chose DB9.

Both are awesome, maybe if it were not a "this or that" quesion it would be different.
