Not enough information. Outside of a James Bond movie in Iceland, what would you do with one of those?

:confused: I'd drive it. A lot.

I'm not sure what you're insinuating. Are you saying the Aston doesn't have performance? You know, some people say that about our Boxsters too.

I've never driven one, so I'll have to bench race. According to Autoweek's testing, the Aston out-slaloms the 360 Modena and the Z8 and ties the Z06 and M3. That's pretty good company. It has over 450 hp and 400 lb/ft of torque. It's gorgeous. What's not to like?

Yep - that's what I was insinuating. Given the performance you quoted I stand corrected.

My general impression of Aston Martin is that the performance is Mercedes like, wrapped in nicer sheet metal with less reliability and a higher price. This makes the price/performance equation abyssmal and my lust for one quickly fade.

Again, I am apparently totally wrong on this model and stand corrected.
