Road Test Review: 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage

Posted by Jeff Glucker on Tuesday, December 02, 2008 10:01 AM


If the answer to life is considered the ultimate question, then the 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a great answer.

I hold in my hands a glass and stainless steel object that the kind folks from Gaydon (Aston Martin's home in England) call an Emotion Control Unit. You and I might call it a "car key" but we would be wrong and maybe a bit simple. This Emotion Control Unit, or ECU for short, is a work of art and not just the type of art that hangs on your wall gathering dust.

Aston Martin Day at the NADAguides.com Office: Aston Martin DBS and Aston Martin Vantage

Posted by Jeff Glucker on Saturday, November 15, 2008 8:27 AM


An Aston Martin DBS on the left and an Aston Martin Vantage on the right - do you want soul crushing power or just soul bruising power?

I was handed the key to a 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage for the weekend. This is pretty good timing because I need something cool to go drive to the new James Bond film Quantum of Solace. Before I head off to the movie or start my review of the car, I had the opportunity to see how the car stacks up next to the Aston Martin DBS. More photos of the pair after the jump... More...
