Dont get me wrong I do like the look of some of the Astons, The 177 is how they should be all built but Aston charge the earth for it, and when you spend that much money you would expect to have a faultless car

There is a nice V8 racecar at the ring you can pay for passenger rides in too, they certainly can be modified into good track cars.

For sure....bloody warm in there though lol
Are you f**king kidding me? It's 1000% a poser's car, only slightly less than a Ferrari.
I'll have a DB5 for the sheer appearance. Wouldn't spend money on any of the modern ones. Especially the Cygnet, who the f**k would buy one?!?
350z GT
Had one behind me the other day...had a bit of a yummy mummy in there lol
He said "only slightly less than a ferrari" so how the hell did you somehow misread that as "much more flashy than a ferrari"
You are a strange one at times!
Both are blatantly a midlife crisis poseurs car to a hell of a lot of people.

Sarcasm??? lol
Exactly what I meant.
There was a DB9 at Werrington hillclimb last year. Clearly a 40 year old bloke, it absolutely crept up the hill. Whilst I understand not wanting to crash a fairly expensive car, he was barely even revving it. The course car was faster lol.
Oh, and he nearly ran several people over in the pits, because he was on his phone and not paying attention.

Thats because it takes most working people half there life to own/get to that stage of financial security.
I think they are a touch of class.
Im sure most people do, as that is how they are always marketted.

Nice cars. However, having just returned from a 900 mile round trip to the nurburgring with cars such as the evora , gt3 etc - for 30-40k I would 100% buy a GTR. After following the car through Europe , watching it on the autobahns and experiencing it on a 8 min lap of the ring I can safely say nothing cones close for the money. Epic motorway cruiser , unbelievable road presence and the lap itself ............ No words for it . Very little could match it's pace and that was with an inexperienced driver (sorry Craig 
Honestly Gally , sure the Aston is very classy etc , but for the same cash or less nothing IMO competes with the GTR

I actually think the DB9 represents more of a bargain. I think it's a better looking car, or classier as people like to put it! It is isn't a pretender, just a classic GT car. The V8 came on the scene to defeat the 911, but it didn't. I personally couldn't pull alongside a 911 believing i'm in the superior car simply because it looks prettier. I know the 911 is a predictable, boring choice, but its not its fault it is so competent!
In the same way i'm not a fan of the DBS. Looks great, but not a track car despite the aggressive look and can't hold a candle to other modern supercars as a driving machine. What is the point of it? Again, can't pull up alongside a modern Ferrari and genuinely believe you made the right choice.

Yeah but I think the point of an Aston is to be a part of the heritage and history....
Its not about being in the better car, more that you could have bought the smarter choice...but it wouldn't have an Aston badge

^same.
Pretty to look at, but apart from that.....nothing.

Never even sat in one. But I still think they're cool as fook.
Friend of a friend used to have a DB9 and it looked/sounded so nice.

This is my thing. This is bang on the money. It's the reason I bought an Frp over a Trophy.
The car doesn't have to be good, hell some of my favourite cars ever weren't that good but they looked and sounded the part. I have no penchant for drifting, tracking or doing hot laps of the town centre, the Aston represents something different.
There are quicker cars, more refined cars and better value cars probably out there, like Paul said the GTR is amazing, and it is. You simply can't go quicker for the money. I'm still shocked how cheap they are but they leave me cold, there is no soul imo even though they are truly amazing. They don't "turn heads" from my pov.
I could ramble for hours!

You really believe the GTR doesn't turn heads ?? Mate , every time that car came off the track ad pulled up in the Carpark (Full of ferrari 458 , Porsche , Aston , lambo etc ) people where literally all over it. I was like you , appreciated them but never really had that desire to have one. But that trip changed that . Astons looked boring next to it . I understand where your comin from with the Astons badge , it's history , it's style .
I do have a long list of cars i'd own before a GTR, I don't see them as "special". But different strokes mate, speed is down the list for me, I drive like a girl 95% of the time. Noise and occasion is a big thing for an expensive car and I just thought the GTR left me a little cold. We're all different though mate.

You'd buy a car made by someone who's slogan is "YOLO"?
