For 20 to 40,000 more you could get in a v-12 Vantage. Car and Driver had a write up saying they too were disappointed from the huge price increase.
Just to put it into perspective, I personally have not seen much on the market brand-new over 40K that I thought was worth what it cost....though the new Lexus GS300 AWD at 45-48K I think is right on the borderline....see my write-up on it in the GS forum.

Exception : A yellow 911 looks better than a yellow Aston Martin.
