2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Reviewed [2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage] (Jalopnik)

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:00:00 GMT

The lucky buggers over at Popular Mechanics recently got their hands on the revised 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage . With a larger 4.8-liter, 420 HP engine and modified suspension, they find the $119,500 British sports car to be more refined, more focused, faster, and a welcome antidote to the "stuffy" DB9...if still not quite up there with the Porsche 911. Should you have the means, they highly recommend...

Aston Martin V8 Vantage (The Independent)

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 23:00:01 GMT

We like the idea of "sustainability" at The IoS. So it's good to hear of the new Aston Martin V8 Vantage's sustainable credentials. Dr Ulrich Bez, Aston Martin's CEO, contended at the revised model's introduction that, given luck, a modern Aston Martin should last forever. 'There's no reason why they shouldn't all be here in 50 years, at least,' he said. 'They won't rust and there's nothing to decay.'...

. . . and while I'm at it - I'm a winner. In my dreams (The Irish Times)

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 20:53:08 GMT

"Wow. Did you win?" my wife asked as I came back from last weekend's Classic and Vintage Motor Show brandishing a plate depicting the previous year's winner, an Aston Martin DB2 (Very nice it is too. Hand-painted gold-leaf, if you don't mind. The plate, not the car). I was tempted to lie. It would, if nothing else, justify all the time and expense I'd put into my classic, a 1975 BMW 2002.
