Aston Martin Vantage

It was red, and it was fast. I gotta tell yah, Aston Martin is doing a great job in their design department. From most every angle the Aston looks exciting. We took it down to the harbor and played all day. This thing was putting out 420 hp for about 140,000 thousand. It goes. Now, the only thing I have to say…. quality. We grew up in an era of Ferrari’s and Jaguar E types. When you climbed into the cockpit you knew it. All those gauges, it felt as though you and your car were one. They way it wrapped around you, the rumble you could feel through the seat of your pants, it inspired windy roads. This Aston, seems a little pre fab in the cockpit, the center console seems to be lifted from a Volvo… or is thats Ford input? As I reached down for the hood release, the hood release that reveals the 420 hp, well it felt cheap and flimsy, it showed me that Aston just keeps it on the surface, quality should follow through out, in an effort to save money they always hide the things they don’t think we see, but all these little things add up up. It is red though, and it is fast…so just tell me this, how much is this thing going to cost me when it breaks?
