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.

After driving the 2009 Subaru Forester 2.5XT Limited, I can tell you that this is a good thing. Let the kids have their rally-car styling and stiff ride; the adults will love the Forester's comfortable interior, 5-star safety ratings and clean design. More...

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...
