    very tough choice to make...

    at first i thought the Jag:
    -wont lose value (might even go up, in time)
    -more exclusive
    -looks better
    -faster

    but then i thought about it, and if it was my only car, id take the Aston:
    -warranty
    -back seat
    -great daily driver
    -nicer interior

    BUT, if i already had a good daily driver, and i was to choose a fun second car, id take the XJ220 without a doubt

    I'd take the XJ220 for its stunning styling and very good performance. It will also hold its value better.

    XJ220, duh. The DB9 is for rich yuppies and old people.

    Come on guys. Where are you going to use the performance advantage that the XJ220 has over the DB9? You can't go 300+km/h on the motorway. Actually, you can't do anything with the Jag. You can't go shopping(or anywhere) with it coz is too big to park nicely, and if you managed to park, you will have to leave your shopping behind coz it only has a tiny boot. It is not a comfortable cruiser, and don't tell me that you are going to take it to track days. The Jag is too heavy so it doesn't go around corners very well.

    It doesn't matter if it has a small trunk, if you're by yourself, you can put stuff in the other seat.

    Even if I had an XJ220 I'm not sure I would even come across a DB9 to beat so that's really not part of the equation. I do know I'd get more attention though . A car that big is kinda hard to miss
