Your opinions?

I still love my scud but since it's been almost a year already and I'm itching for something else again...thinking about something different this time.

What do you guys think? Good trade or I should be happy with the scud?

I know with AM the reliability has been a big issue...but was wondring if anyone has any experience with the recent new models?

My dad has had no problems with our DB9. IMO, the Scud probably is the most exciting to drive but the DBS is probably without a doubt a close second mostly if you go for a manual and Volanté

If you are bored with it(which I can absolutely not understand ) why don`t you try out the Novitec stuff?

I think as far as excitement is concerned I could see going from an AM to a Scud... but being that you're getting bored of the Scud after a year, I'd bet you'd get bored with the AM much faster. When you drive the Scud is your driving style usually tame or aggressive? If tame, maybe the AM will be a better fit for you. If aggressive, maybe something like a LP670-4 will be more exciting?

Both cars are beautiful in my opinion.

Dads got the DBS and its a great car. However, the two are different styles of driving. The DBS is a lovely , sporty drive when you want it to be, and feels sooo smooth when just cruising. The scud on the other hand, (based on a two-lap lucky drive around the circuit) , is a serious track car and has 10 times the response and feel of the aston. It totally depends on your driving style and taste.They are two exquisite cars. IMHO If I could have it my way, I would have the scuderia for going nuts on the track and completely enjoying the driving experience, and then having the DBS to enjoy on lovely country roads and pretend I'm James Bond lol If that makes any sense! lolol

I can't imagine the DBS being more fun than the Scuderia. Both cars look incredible but I'd say your Scuderia will be worth more over a longer period of time than the DBS for what it's worth.

Thanks guys for all your input! I do drive the scud fairly aggressive and I value very much the feel and response feedback from the car...so I guess I'll probably hang on to the scud and stop my wondering thoughts!

I'd keep the Scud. On a side note, I wouldn't mind having such a dilemma.
