Subzero. I would love to rock up to night clubs in this car.

Who cares about performance in this context? You can't see performance in a photograph, not usually.

Subzero.

After my ride in one, i was full of adrenaline. The sound is just awesome, and the looks are just stunning.

Not as common a sight as i thought it would be, and i hope aston son't sell-out and open the production floodgates

A fantastic experience. 8)

[LotusGT1]

Cool. Definately not subzero.

[davide]

the sound is the cool thing, but it also makes the Vantage some kind of an attention whore... but still, it's a cool car! The noise make the coolnes, and of course the design... wonder if I goes as quite when you're just poking along in 70kmph?

The butterfly valve in the exhaust keeps things quiet up to a certain point, but when it opens (under full throttle and/or a certain no. of revs iirc) all hell breaks loose. It such a nice sound though...

Sub - it's brilliant 8)

[Mattk]

So what if they're similar? That does not detract from their subzero-ness.

cool, but not subzero, some publications say it needs more power (even if 380 is a lot)

It's not about power. :roll:

Although the startup sequence on the dash says Power, Beauty, Soul. 8)

This car will end up in the hands of uncool people but that doesn't take anything away from it's 'wow' factor. The looks will turn the heads of everybody and the trail of sound will catch everybody's ears. And you'd have to go a long way to find an equally classy interior, afterall it shares it with the DB9. SubZero.

[Mattk]

Wow, 16 votes so far, and it's 6 subzero, 10 cool. You can't hate this car. 8)

[acmarttin]

I say Subzero. I know you know who else drives a car like this. James Bond. Yes - he is a fictional character and is sometimes played by chumps. BUT, I care way more about what he drives than I do about what David Beckham drives. Case in point: Subzero.

[Mattk]

I remember an old-ish Top Gear episode where Jeremy Clarkson and Steve Coogan were testing this (or another Aston Martin) out against a Ferrari 575M (I think; this is really stretching my memory) they were talking about how all these footballers had Ferraris, but none of them had Astons.

[bultaco_metralla]

For me almost 100% of aston martins are subzero...specially the VANQUISH V12!!

[romes_pl]

Subzero like every Aston.I saw one in Leeds when I was in England and that's why I say subzero.Awesome car!

[taygunho]

Old V8 was cool but not this one . Looks too same with other AM cars. Voted Uncool.

[stmoritzer]

reasonably prized SZ car :lol: ( with 170kCHF ~110KEuro, maybe in a few years, I'll buy one *dream*)
design, speechless :shock:
interiour, awesome :P
power: not enough :bah:

SZ

[Mattk]

Who voted seriously uncool? :?

[FellipeM]

cool, not is pretty as the DB9 or DBS...
but it's a Aston Martin :D

[Z3uS]

Subzero! It's an Aston. :mrgreen:

[TopGearNL]

I voted Subzero, if it was without the exhaust noise it would just have been cool but with that its SZ 8)

[M4tt83]

Subzero! It's an Aston. :mrgreen:

What he said. :good:
