    Aston v Porsche v Corvette

    Aston Martin V8 Vantage

    Porsche Cayman S

    Chevrolet Corvette Z51

    which two-seater coupe would you take as your only car?

    (i wanted to include an Italian car and a Japanese car, but the F430 is too expensive, the GranSport has back seats, and the NSX is too old)

    No doubt, the Aston! Looks the best, is the most sexy and has the most style... (Man, I've had tougher choises...)

    i'd say aston too, it has a lot more style, looks better, and the brand has got more prestige

    the cayman S isn't in the same category

    295hp vs 380hp vs 400hp....
    There is a problem, isn't it?!

    Change the Cayman with a Carrera S, it would be better

    v8 vantage anyday, the porsche is too common (or will be anyway) and the corvette is too..american. i.e less luxurious and exclusive. The Aston is the best choice by far.

    If I had to buy an Aston I'd want a big Aston, and if I bought a Porsche I'd want a 911, so it has to be the Corvette, although if as Piacki said, the 911 Carrera S was included, then I would choose the 911 as my only car.

    i didnt include the 911 because this is a comparison of two-seat coupes...which is also why I didnt include the Maserati GranSport

    I would probably take the Corvette.

    Why?

    I prefer the Aston Martin by far, but every footballer is going to buy one, which I hate. The Cayman is a poor man's 911, or something people buy because it has a Porsche badge. Plus, I will probably be seeing Caymans everyday in a few years.

    I have only seen two corvettes (C5) in my lifetime on UK roads. The rest are at car shows. Exclusivity plays a big part in my game.

    But, come to think of it, I'd be much happier with a TVR T350.

    fair enough...

    must say its almost the opposite situation round where i live...suburban Detroit area you'll see 5-10 C6s a day but even a used DB7 is a rare sight

    come to think of it, a guy i know just had his dad buy him a black C6 to replace his Escalade...why does an 18 year-old need a new vette?!
    id take pics, but that would just encourage him
