Love the styling on the RS5, it's just a bit underpowered.

Ya man, that RS5 is the best looking non R8 Audi I've ever seen. Cherish it, you don't need another Audi so get an Aston Martin with a V12!

Hi Dre,

That RS5 looks great. I agree with the other blokes, Aston 12. You've tasted Audi - that might be a good reason to make the change?

Cheers,
Nik

I doubt it's too much more than a V12V, those aren't exactly cheap either.

Having driven all the ones you mention, for me the V12V is the ultimate. Once you've driven one you won't even consider a V8S.

The R8s are fantastic cars, they really are - especially the V10 with a manual 'box, but for me the V12V is the pick of that bunch.

Just get yourself one in an exciting colour - these two are amazing:

I adore the V12 Vantage.

Dark Grey/Gunmetal for me. Black interior.

i have always had a soft spot for the v12 vantage. its an excellent package and its a true enthusiasts car.

currenty have a v10 audi r8 spyder, i woult not compare it to the v12 vantage. two different cars. Driven the Aston at some length, for all the positives it still "feels" like a dated car.

how about chopping in the 5 and getting a standard vantage with an r8 v10!?
