    DBS. If I want a real performance car I'll buy a Ferrari 458 or a Porsche GT3, Aston Martin makes really good sporty GT cars and that's what they should stick to.

    I would only buy any Aston Martin as a long distance tourer, if I was really concerned by performance I'd just buy a GT2. As to the question at hand, I know a V12 Vantage is probably better on the track but I would just like to know I was driving the most prestigious Aston.

    V12 vantage is enough of a tourer to me and looks better.
    it'd be my pick.

    Does a DBS Volante count?

    If no, I'll take the V12 Vantage. Just seems more special than the DBS...

    I chose the DBS because I think it looks stunning and very complete. The Vantage looks like it got punched in the face and somehow reminds me of a pug.

    so...

    Hot as hell.



    and...

    ...just nice



    Since the engines are the same, we're going mostly by looks here. That being said, the DBS is the mature car, making Vantage the pubescent teenager in my eyes. Call me crazy but I'd spend the extra benjamins on James Bond's car (all guns included please).

    Old-school V8 Vantage.

    This.

    But between the two I'll vote for the V12 Vantage. I prefer the much more compact design.

    However, doesn't the V12 Vantage have one of those pop-up rear wings? That's a big no-no.
