Which do you prefer? DB7 or DB9??

[carsnut]

Given the choice of just one, which one would you rather take home with you (again, forget all the costs)

Aston Martin DB9 (any model)
or
DB7 (any model - i6, v12, gt, zagato, ar1, whatever........)

happy voting

it's close between a DB7 Zagato and DB9 with sports pack... maybe DB7Z, because it's so rare, and i see DB7s several times a week, but i only saw one Zagato (which was selling in the Aston dealership near me)

DB7 because the DB9 is just a cheap imitation

[2ndclasscitizen]

DB9 for sure. Looks better and the chassis isn't 30 years old.

The DB9 is a real nice car, but you do see it a lot. And I do think the DB7 GT is one of the best looking cars out there.

[deanee]

DB9 for sure

basically, i just think it looks better than the DB7

[deanee]

the DB7 is an awesome car though

[Monty_Burns]

DB9 hands down - looks brilliant, much better interior than DB7, great performance and a great GT car.

[Coventrysucks]

The DB7 isn't an awesome car, nor is the DB9 a cheap imitation thereof.

The DB7 does look good, but once you get close it all falls apart.

The chassis is based on a 1970s Jaguar XJS, which was never brilliant in the first place, and the interior is based on an early 1990s Ford Mondeo, but crammed into a space not much bigger than a shoebox.

If you're in 1st, 3rd or 5th gears, you can't get to the radio, for instance.

Better to admire it from a distance whilst your actually having a nice, enjoyable experience driving your DB9.

Quite clearly a case of never meet your heroes

I would choose the Aston Martin DB9 because the DB9 is one of the most beautiful cars ever made and its performance is great (I've only heard and read about other people who have driven the DB9 ). In my opinion, the DB9 has a much better interior than the DB7 and the DB9 looks much better than the DB7.

[Amaru]

DB9 without a doubt.

IMO:
1) Best looking interior ever.
2) Best looking exterior ever.

I just love that car.

[leadfoot99]

DB9 is my pick.

DB9 is my pick.

I haven't heard much feedback on the Saleen S7 TT. It's the second fastest overall car on the list nipping at the veyron's heals and probably handles better because of the weight. Not to mention it's a third of the price. It also looks sweet. Also, the Veyron doesn't cost 5 mil to make or they wouldn't be selling it for 1.7 mil.

What does that have to do with aston martins?
