Britt -

Any info you can provide on the Vanquish? I definitely want an Aston Martin 
next. I fell hard for the Vanquish, then the S. I had been considering a 
DB9, though, since you could get the manual transmission and I'm not much of 
a paddle-shift guy. Your comments make me think twice. It is very difficult 
to find any solid info on Astons in the states and I can't find any good web 
forums about them either.

Thanks!
