DBS, no contest, actually for the price of the DBS you can buy two M6's and I will still take the one DBS!

Thanks for the support. I'll be running on the Clublexus ticket in 2012

The cars are not in the same class and the DBS is arguably one of the best looking cars out today. The 6 is very, well not so nice..

You've got my vote, Mike!
2012... ClubLexus. 2015... the world!

The only "fix" for the 6 is the Latigo:

Your endorsement is a huge deal. I will ensure you get fee mods under the table.

It's not a reasonable comparison... one is mass produced and the other is a limited production vehicle. And the Aston Martin is how much money? $200,000+?

Maybe a more realistic comparison would be Aston Martin DB7 GT vs. BMW 6-Series...

I too don't see how these cars are really up for any kind of 'or' questions.

This is like asking if someone would like a Kia Rio or an IS.


Though I would like to say that I think this:

looks like a smiling Italian fish with a moustach, in a sterio-typical cartoon fashion

I can't think of that many coupe/convertible that is uglier than BMW 6-series, nor I can think of any that is better looking than Aston Martin DBS.
