This isn't even a close or fair comparison. I find the 6 convertible to be helplessly ugly and you are comparing it to arguably the best looking one.

Quite frankly I'm so appalled I am going to maybe make a rule so we can ban you for comparing the two J/K

Is the Volante available with an automatic transmission?

edit: I guess that's the gear shifter (and it is automatic)

...DBS is faster, uses carbon fiber here and there, bodykit difference updated this and that etc etc.
Kind of like a Stradale version of Ferrari, or SL of Gallardo.

Does the DBS fall between the DB9 and the Vanquish? I've never understood that.

I'd call it a replacement of sorts. the Vanquish died in 2006. priced about the same.
