Beautiful car! I followed a white one here into town one day and drooled the whole way. Pity about your neighbor's color, though. Battleship grey on an Aston volante??? Why? Pity about the red brake calipers too. Much too gauche on an Aston, IMHO. But, then again, he has an Aston Martin DB9 volante, and I don't. Pity me.

Gorgeous car! The higher-end Astons are pretty cheap (relatively) used and they're a pretty good deal for a stylish, classy, sporty car.

Really beautiful machine. Top Gear determined people prefer puppies though.

Beautiful machine. I saw one cruising down K street here in downtown DC one morning and I had to stare as it drove past. I love the key, and the whole "Power, Beauty, Soul" start-up sequence.

I love the new Aston's. Not a huge fan of the vert tho.
Those older XKR's look like blah....they remind me of a Chrysler.

Forgot to add, I sometimes think people exaggerate how beautiful Astons are, but every time I see one in person (rare in NO VA) I'm impressed and drooling.
they are not rare in nova. come to tysons area and you will see them all over. I see one a week usually
