It is a Matter of taste, and not performance or price! If you go to the website, there is already a pick for the Camaro, and also a guy that work with me said he'd pick the Camaro. My choice is the Aston Martin as well :-D

While i do think the Camaro and Mustang are good looking cars, they do it in a way that is over the top. its a "look at me" styling. The Aston looks amazing, but its far more reserved and tends to fit in anywhere you take it.
The Audi, I love it, I think its perhaps one of the few cars that gets close to the Astons and Ferrari's for looks, but I would always find myself thinking, I'm driving an oversized TT, and you know your gonna get that sinking feeling in your stomach when a new TT pulls up next to you at the lights.
Aston every time, even if they do break down every time a drop of rain hits it.

I must say I did the Choice out of very wide, outgoing types of cars. No one is really in the other's league. but have a style and legend of it's own. For instance the KITT3000 fans would love the Mustang. Transformer Fans the Camaro, The Aston Martin is a 007 class, and The Audi, well I think the Value for money make it worth standing between the others. A GREAT car, not so expensive than the Aston Martin, for instance?

its the DB9 isn't it??
I struggle to tell these days unless you can see the headlights clearly. Lips Sealed

lol

You can pick up a 2 or 3 year old DB9 these days for about £45,000 which is much less than an R8. so it would be a tempting option.

Having owned an aston in the past (AMV8 vantage) I wouldn't touch one again.. rubbish engineering & quality .. Hand made does not make for a good car. It just makes for an expensive car. Owned mainly for vanity .. Modern astons use a lot of ford parts ..

Audi for me. Top quality car all round.

Audi.

I love Aston Martins, but I prefer the DBS to DB9. I am not a fan of the styling on the American cars.

I was referring to mark, not power or price. That is what I ment by not a fair fight.

Probably v. few .... The main site members are generally not forum users --- some exceptions though ..

That was my distant past ... SimV supports itself but is not and never was meant to be, a money maker ....
