I've heard the DB7, DB9 and Vanquish at various points in time and I'd have to say that between the DB7 and Vanquish, the Vanquish has a much more full basso than the DB7, but it also has the ability to sing a better contralto as the revs jump...I don't think it is as nice as the sound the DB9 makes though believe it or not. I followed a prototype DB9 around Royal Oak, Michigan a few weeks ago and I could hear it from three blocks away...made my knees weak. The Vanquish, however sweet, sounds more like a racecar than the DB9. It depends on what you're looking for in a car. I'd take any of them hehe.
