It's gotta be more than that - the AMG SL starts at $150k.

They're going after the 911 buyers - shouldn't be more than $120k. The Black Series and convertibles will be more though...

AndyBrew- That is one smoking looking car. Please post more intimate photos and impressions.

Don't underestimate the Vantage. These cars are very solid and hold up under heavy track use. They are not GT3 track weapons. But the fit and finish makes a Porsche look like a Chevy. Zero orange peel in the paint! Leather is everywhere and is standard. Have a look for yourself.

I sold them for two years.....all of the above ^^^^^......plus horrific warranty issues, reliability, quality control, etc etc..... Always wanted an Aston Martin until I worked for them...now:

I always have found them to be beautiful cars but no way i'd buy one. They look waaay faster than they are. Too heavy for me.

All I would say if the new Vantage S V12 came with a manual it would be almost impossible for me to resist. Beautiful and refined looking and those ponies(560?) on the latest model is where you want it.

Saw it at the NY auto show today. It looks good, but for the money I think I would go with the F Type R.
