Default RS4/VanquishS

Took a few crappy iphone pics today of the two. A friend is driving around their friends VanquishS for a couple days...not too shabby way to spend your time driving.
520bhp, i did not know that.
Pretty slick ride, but it just doesn't do it for me.
The front looks great in the rearview mirror, menacing. The rear of the vehicle is...not so well put together.
The inside is nice with leather everywhere and a nice alcantera? headliner. The dash however is reminiscent of a Nissan. Puts out a sweet roar under power though, and the looks you get are unparalleled. Suspension is tight and firm, it handles very nicely.
For a base price of $255k, i'll take 2 R8's thank you very much.
Surprisingly, there are 2 seats in the back with about 2 inches of room between that seat and the back of the front seats. You could ONLY use it for dwarfs whose legs are no longer than the depth of the rear seat.

Looks like a nice Jag, and I am not a Jag fan. They have like you said, weak *** ends, unlike your sig. And yes, 1 R8 and 1 RS4 and one S8 would be better than one Vanquish!

I think the RS4 is the better looking car, you're right about the back of the Vanquish

Default the DB9 or DBS would be way cooler.

that huge chrome strip on the back of the Vanquish S just doesn't look right.

Default The Vanquish S was always the lame duck of Aston Martin...

The DB9 was faster, better looking and cost a lot less. That's why the new DBS is so badass, they finally got the point that thier flagship car needed to be better then the regular model.

Just like the 911's, the only reason it has back seats is to keep it in a lower insurance bracket.
