The Top Gear season premier starring these two cars was fantastic! I saved this on my DVR for sure.

The Aston is the most attractive of the two & would be my choice. I love the sound of both cars.. The new 6 series is in camo right now & is said to be a vast improvement in the looks department as well as the power under hood..

the Aston is beautful like no other car, but the M6 is a techno geeks drem. Its a bit of a fat assed pig at 4350 lbs. My friend has one and I have driven it hard and it is fast, but not as fast as I thought 507hp should feel like. You put either against a car like the ZO6 3350 lbs and you will have no chance in a 2 ton plus BMW

Thanks, Henry. That was a mislabeled Google image....but my fault for posting it.

Here is the correct SL...an AMG version. Like I said, I think it will give the Aston a run for the money in the looks department.

I thought the rounded-headlight version looked better, but, yes, if we're doing only brand-new vehicle comparisons, then you have a point.

nall, don't like the planter's peanut headlights... that was the only thing I kinda disliked about the SL, good thing they updated it. MB.

I just decided that my favorite is the Bentley Continental GTC, because it's almost as good as the AM and more available.
