Aston Martin DB9 vs. Maserati GranTurismo

v@nQu!$h~$ · Mar 25, 2007, 2:31 AM

Just got a lil' bored. Anyway, both are among the sexiest GTs we've ever seen for a while, so, I decided to compare them. Which would you pick?

Hmm, I choose the Maserati. I don't care if the Aston has more power, the Maserati is just more sexier and rarer than the Aston. It's also lighter so i believe it would handle better.

ill choose the Maser, its just so sexy and good looking compared to the DB9, i dont care about that crystal thing in the AM, i just love the sportiness, still keeping pretty luxury and not too much and its just lovely, its got less power and all those stuff, but whatever

i just love the new Maser ,, looks very beautifull ,, the V8 has a generous amount of horspower and the interior is complete luxury ,,

I'd go for the GranSport also sporty exclusive and elegant. And you may actually be able to fit 4 adults inside. Aston Martins are gorgeous but their build quality does not impress.

Both look very similar, but id take the aston martin, i dont realli care wat other people think, i like the aston. style, luxury, and nice engine noise. to be honest, both are good; i take the aston for its looks.

Maserati for me, it just looks soooo gorgeous~

R95 ALH · Mar 25, 2007, 7:40 AM

I'll take the Aston. I prefer its looks. The Maserati's front end looks wrong to me.

^^^ I know what you mean, it seems to look like an aggresive squid, but, hell, that is one aggresive squid I would hit on.

That maser is in my opinion, a pinnicale at the minute. It's a super sexy car that doesn't need to hark back to the 'good old days'. Thank god, I was getting kind of sick of wanting to re-live the 60's. I mean, it would be good, but i want a sexy noughtie's. I want a tee shirt that says "I had fun in the noughties." That would be brilliant.

maserati cause it is to die for

sonicadg · Mar 25, 2007, 9:17 AM

maserati. i have a total thing for maserati now. The GT is brilliant, the suspension set-up is from the quaddroporte, which puts up with 1913kg. So it should work wonders on massers gt. Plus that v8. go maserati

bennyboy · Mar 25, 2007, 10:12 AM

I'm taking the DB9. Like, nothing even comes close to that machine. Best looking car of the 21st century, I reckon. Brilliant sounding V12 and an interior to actually die for. It's totally brilliant, and it's proper luxurious inside the car aswell.

The GranTurismo looks brilliant, but from some angles the grille doesn't match up with the headlights, unlike the DB9, which looks good from all angles. The interior is good, but it doesn't come close to the Aston's. Not a lot comes close to the Aston Martin, actually.

Maserati! The DB9 looks about as exciting as the average glass of water. And I'm not talking about a glass of water with a dinosauer panted on it, or a sensually shaped Coca Cola glass. Just a plain and simple glass of cold water.

They both looks like fish... but the Maserati looks like a sexy fish.

maserati, italian power....

Aston Martin for me, but I do like the new Masser. But i just love the looks and that V12 engine from the DB9.
