Ah I see, thanks for that. If someone really wants an AM and doesnt want to get burned or pay excessive dollars, the cost of what "status" the AM might yield is relatively light in the market for the Vantage.

I really didnt have a formulated opinion of the Aston in regards to driveability thus I could only speak to 2nd hand knowledge that my friend gave me. I would like to drive the car and then give honest feedback. The M178 engine sounds great and I have really enjoyed the GTS (its a Edition 1 car). But I dont know about the chassis and suspension connection that the Aston may or may not have with the engine. AMG did an excellent job with the GTS and even moreso with the GTR.
