i think it comes down to...

M6 is last because it's just too technical and too much of an engineering exercise.

the Vantage is second cuz..the XKR is cheaper and does the same thing and sounds the same, if not better

which is why the XKR is first.

Damn u summed it up. They basically said the M6 is a fantastic engine in an okay car and just a huge GT. The Aston is great but not so great that the price of the Aston can be ignored compared to the Jag.

In love with the XKR. Such a great looking vehicle (though the Aston does look slightly better and well....its an Aston Martin ).

Top Gear tested the XKR and the Vantage awhile back and came up with the same result. Said it was faster, lighter, handled better and was cheaper.

What did EVO have to say?

Jeremy Clarkson said it, "This car beats anything from Mercedes and BMW, and on points it beats it's sister (the Aston)."

Not having driven them, but I would say the M6 does not appeal to me at all. Sure it's fast but it weighs 4300 lbs.

IMO the AM is the winner before you factor in price, but at (?) $30K more than the Jag you have to ask is it worth that much?
