[Applause]
yeah very stiff feeling very tough
framing
in the old days you got the feeling
Aston had 40 designers drawing pretty
pictures and one poor guy trying to put
them all together but not anymore
this Vantage feels engineer
[Applause]
so what's not to like no it's not the
lightest sports car and this 8-speed
auto I'd prefer to have a manual gearbox
which Aston says I can have just not for
another year that's like a restaurant
saying sure you can have the lobster
tomorrow night but there's a bigger
problem with the newly expensive v8
Vantage and it's that the Mercedes AMG
GTS because if you want a two-seat
sports car with a Mercedes engine in the
front you can have one of those instead
basically the same engine but 10,000
pounds cheaper and really good to drive
time for a little race now the Merc has
a little more power but the Aston has a
little more torque this should be close
[Music]
surely Berk are gonna keep their best
engines for themselves right you don't
invite someone over for the weekend and
let them sleep in the master bedroom do
you
oh he got me now some might say there's
nothing more British than losing to a
German obviously I would never say that
I would say there's more to buying a car
than its ability to win a drag race so
which one should you buy ok I know the
deal the Merc might be cheaper and
faster and have its own engine but the
one you want is the Aston because it's
an Aston right wrong if you want a
sports car with a Mercedes motor buy a
Mercedes I would
[Music]
you
