Lambo vs. Aston?

[botbullet0]

I am going to get a Lambo in the future, but I was wondering... In your opinion which one would be better, a Lambo or an Aston Martin? I like the power and looks of Lambos, but I like the modern look and roar of an Aston.

Has to be Aston every time - They are more beautiful, understated, refined, better built, have bullet proof mechanicals and are only ever driven by Gentlemen.

Argento

completely agree i repair and service astons and love them to bits,

Definitley the Aston. Much more character.

The aston may not be as fast, but if you show in a lambo people will think you are an immature punk, but if you show in an aston they will know you are a gentlemen

[Boxer]

Yes, the two brands have very different images.

A bit of apples and oranges comparison there.

I see very little overlap between Astons and Lambos. The owners tend to be very different groups.

The Aston is the way to go.

Well you might get comments on panel gaps, clutches not lasting 3000 miles etc.

I hear ya. But I doubt it.

Don't waste your money in Lambo
i have back problems because of it :P

Ferraris seem to have water pumps, cambelts, and even transaxle issues. Lambos seem to be plagued with clutches that last months as opposed to years.

What are the problem spots on the new generations of Astons? Are there any owners out there publishing "running reports" that detail an extended period of ownership and the associated experience from a service standpoint? Now that would be interesting.

Depends on the model, with the Vanquish it is the clutch.

I was faced with the same question 2 years ago. I like both cars but in the end, a Vantage roadster won because of the usability of the car. I get 2 golf bags in my trunk, I rarely get the opportunity to go top-end fast and get as much attention as I could want. I would say that the car has less of a resent factor than a Lambo and you can drive it long distances. Unless you have a lot of open road and will never park it for a dinner and never carry any cargo, you will probably prefer the Aston.

+1 on the resentment. Rarely see it in regards to Astons.
