I always come back to wanting an aston martin, i dont know why i just feel i need to own one at some point in my life i think youtube videos like this and hearing them on the roads is a big contributing factor

I love them but they almost seem a bit normal compared to Ferrari's and Lamborghini's. Supercars should be nuts, Aston's are a bit more of a gentleman's cruiser...

I find the likes of V8 Vantages and DB9's far too common to get excited about and DBS's look too similar to DB9's so on occasion they can blend in too.
The only aston I get really excited about (one 77 aside) is the old Vantage models.

I love them. I hardly ever get to see any supercars of any kind on the road, but I think they're the perfect balance between being an awesome car but not being over the top.
I would never have a Ferrari or Lambo but a nice Vantage would do me fine

That said, no Aston is a supercar.

I agree, I'd love an Aston. But then if I had a choice of a top end Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo or Aston, the Aston would be bottom of my list.

What about the V12 Vantage or the One 77?

I still wouldn't call the One77 a supercar in the same way I wouldn't call the Veyron a supercar. Its a massively powerful, hugely impressive, cruiser.
The weight of each is the vital diffence for me. A supercar should be powerful, impractical and fun around a track personally.

I've got to say i've driven a DB9 Volante and it was one of the most cramped cars i've ever been in Then i drove an XKR and it was loads better.

DBS floats my boat alot. Right combo of class and shortness. However the lure of a bonkers lambo in lime green is all to tempting
