Are you talking about the C and C at AM/Lotus of New England in Waltham? You should visit the Cars and Coffee held by yuppieracing this saturday at the Larz Andersen Auto Museum.

Anyways, the N420 would make an awesome DD!

If you can. Go with the DBS, nothing beats the looks, sound (well maybe the GTO ) and presence of it.

Nothing exciting. Any 300hp car would still be too fast. So I looked at the N420 in Carbon Black as having drop dead looks, a nice exhaust, very useable power and a great interior. To me it would be a decent DD. I don't car about the 1 in xxx limited edition. Pretty much useless these days. Even a limited run of 100 cars doesn't mean much, never mind the 420 NS420's.
I had the opportunity to spend some time driving a Vantage. I loved it. If choosing between a DBS and the N420 with your garage, I'm not sure what I'd do. I enjoyed how nimble the Vantage was.

Given what you list above, I think this car would fit the bill. It's gorgeous, I thought the fit and finish was very solid, and the exhaust note is amazing. While I definitely see IIVVX's points, but for a DD there's definitely more than being fast. So it's not at the top of Motor Trend or Car and Driver's 0-60 list, if the car satisfies all of your senses then what more can you ask for?

I'll be interested to see what you think after driving them.

I agree with Blake, you can buy a barely used DBS for relatively cheap right now. I think it is the best looking car on the road. And that V12 makes music!!

Um, please point me in the direction of a 'relatively cheap DBS'. My father loves that car, but hates the prices he has come across.
