I've always liked the vanquish & agree is one of the coolest named cars ever.....just today I took a ride in a sweet pearl white DBS 6 speed. The gearbox is very forgiving and it has some nice extras like matte carbon fiber trim interior in places along the door cards & carbon diffuser, ceramic rotors, piano black dash trim pieces and sweet aluminum shift nob and other aluminum dash accents that contrast nicely w/ the piano black. Exhaust sounds mean as hell, 7450 miles on odometer 10,000 mile service already done and there's an Aston umbrella in the trunk.

Looking at the pics of that Vanquish S you linked to the interiors are very similar but one difference I noticed is that w/ the DBS you also insert the Key into the dash where the clock is on the vanquish S, while the vanquish S is 5 years older than the DBS and does seem more dated I still love them both. Check this out:

What a gorgeous car! Friend of yours, or...?

It's fantastic....

Seat position is not a problem.....

Can't wait for break in period to be over.

I broke my RS6 in during the winter, snow tires, plenty of north country Snow...so it was easy to go easy on that car in 2003. But this one will be torture waiting out those miles. 200 on it so far....

Mike

Sexy!! Congrats

Typo. "Broke in" RS6 in the winter. I never broke my RS6. LOL

No WAY!

Lots to choose from.....always had a soft spot for the Esprit V8. Again, another car with a marginal transmission

[StevieG.]

After a lot of deliberation, I have decided to sell and move on. I have put way too much money into it during the time I have had it, and while I consider it all worthwhile investment, in order to take it to the next level I would need to replace the trans. It would then be an easy re-tune to extract a lot more HP out of her, but....

It will be properly posted in the for sale section sometime this week, and I will only have it listed there for a while before moving on to ebay, craigslist, autotrader, etc.

Someone hand me a tissue, this feels bad but it is time for me to move on....

And now for something completely different...

My needs are simple: all-wheel drive, built for twisties, dirt, snow and wet, excellent weight/power ratio, lots of torque, excellent handling, manual transmission, not a heavyweight beast, and lastly, new.

What am I describing? the new Focus RS.

let the hate begin.

[Bigglezworth]

Drove an F-Type R today. Me likey.

People mentioned Golf R's so that is not far off.

I've heard really good things about the Ford Focus RS! I am personally looking at 2009+ Aston Martin DB9's and either S6 or S8
Prices on late model RS and S cars are softening and coming down quite a bit as evidenced by the data below from 9/15/2016 Manheim auction.

Found a 2012 997.2 series 911 Turbo S here in Atlanta, so what if it means never being able to retire?

[DHall1]

Went from 4 down to 2 this summer

added a 13 550i daily.....hated it and sold it

almost pulled the trigger on a 4.0tt A8

In the end added another RS6. This time Misano red

back up to three

LOL, I think you need an intervention. LOL.....

Did you not love the dead on center steering on the 550? LOL its about 3 degrees of NOTHING in the middle but predictable off center! My M2 does not suffer from that issue.

I will be getting an S8 in the next few years. This time next year my first Kids tuition will be all set and I'll have a 4 year reprieve. LOL.

550 was the worst handling car I have ever owned. The reality was....I made 4500 dollars on the sale. It was never a keeper purchase.

The new Misano RS6 needs my tlc in several areas as well. So everybody please let me fix it and don't come over and buy it from me. I would like to drive it a few years.

A8tt or S8 will be my next car. That is a fact! Dynamic drive select and 4.0tt were a perfect match

I haven't driven one yet, but Toyota QDR has me considering 2008 IS F if I ever got bored of the beast. 5.0 FR sedan that runs mid 12s @ 112ish.

I don't really take the RS out in slippery situations and have other alternatives for inclement weather.
