Which one would you have ?

The vanquish S is far better looking, has 5 more BHP ( 520 Vs 515) but it is heavier.

The 575 is better handling, not as pretty, but sharper to drive and faster to 60.

quite true. but if i can get one for free as a daily driver... the aston would be better than the ferrari. however ferrari's exhaust just sound sooooo godly in general.

fortunately, nobody is giving me one for free so i won't have to choose =)

Vanquish makes the better noise.......

I dont know, the 575 is a better car, but for some reason I'd just have a soft spot for the vanquish..

nope. but from watching topgear you can hear that aston's are generally more of throaty rumbling while ferrari's generally have that trademark scream that you'd recognize without seeing the car, and that's what makes it special.
