I dont realy understand why they went against the traditional vantage design for the latest one, the Vantage V600 (2nd design) was perfect, and at 600hp could rip the clothes of your girlfriend as you pull out of the drive. Now theyve labelled the new one as the 'baby' aston and made it small, and changed its design totally, its an insult realy. The vantage should be the 'ultimate' aston in my view.

Hey guys I see you love this car (I do too), well there is a 1995 Twin Blower Vantage for sale. 95k € and it's yours.

This is the last oldschool Aston... the came the Vanquish with the silly gearbox and the (earlier) "Aston Martin XJS DB7"... so respect for this oldschool all british Aston Martin supercar.

I agree, the Vantage should be above the Vanquish in the AM line-up. Fell in luv with the 2nd Vantage first time i saw it..then I saw the original and... it's one hell of an amazing car...I can't believe this new car is called the Vantage..I mean it's not bad for a small AM but needs a different name IMO

The name "Vantage" only refers to a specific car with the new V8 Vantage.

Before now the name "Vantage" just refered to a higher powered version of an existing car.

Hence the DB2 became the DB2 Vantage, DB4 became the DB4 Vantage, DB5 became the DB5 Vantage....

There are Vantage versions of the following:
DB2
DB4
DB5
DB6
DBS
V8 (1977)
Virage
V8 Coupe (1992)
DB7

It was probably the prospect of the Vanquish Volante Vantage that made them think that the addition of a simple "S" did the job much better.

Makes sense. I know which one I'd rather pronounce

It could have become the triple V car...

that'd sound good...on a 15k car not a 150k car

Yes I can see it... "Welcome everyone to the Ford Fiesta VVV sporting a 520bhp V12 engine... Oh dear..."

it can be called a VVV, doesnt mean it'll have a V12

Yes for sales reason probably a 1-litre diesel with about 10bhp... "Aston Martin sitckers available with the VVV package... and also two paddles to attach to your steering wheel..."
