i said yes a few times..
aston v12 may share some dessign issues with V6 but the crankshaft is very different.
1. Do you sleep better at night thinking the DB9 has a twin inline 6 under its hood? - NO
2. Do you think an Aston Martin with a V8 should be the highest prices car in the line and cost more than the GDP of most countries? -YES
3. Does Jaguars with anything other than inline 6 make you want to punch someone? -NO
4. Is a Bentley with a W12 just a fancy Volkswagen? - ABSOLUTELY YES
5. When Lotus talks about a V6 do you cringe? -YES
6. Do you wonder where the Audi inline 5 went? -NO, it went trough the radiator and grill for a start, but YES if i see/hear an original quattro

10. Could you only accept a Ferrari V8 by thinking of it as two inline 4s sharing a crankshaft? -YES..thats an odd one, first thing that pops up in my head, big differences betweeen flat plane and crossplane crankshafts..same feeling about espirit V8 too.
11. When you see a Gallardo owner do you offer to help him find his missing two cylinders? -NO
