I like the straightforward analysis of the cars, and first rate driving of Tiff.

I'm surprised that it costs the same as the F430, I thought it would've been more. I feel like the Aston has more substance than the Ferrari and therefor, you're getting more car for the money. Might not be as fast or as flashy, but it's absolutely gorgeous and I can only surmise from videos like this one that it's brilliant to drive as well.

Looks like Tiff was wearing the Aston Martin special edition JLC in the video.

Plus, it's a no frills approach, which seems like a rarity these days.

The car is going for 135k here, 140k with a few options. I've sat in one and will be driving one when i go to the AM factory in a few weeks.

IMO it's overpriced.
