Jon.

It must be tough for you. Let's see if this helps.

D89 and DB9 are two entirely different things. The OP asked for opinions on the former, not later.

I just assumed the OP meant Coupe for Coupe. Anyway.. if you say D89, DB9, and Cont GT.. I'd still go with my initial opinion and say DB9.

wrong. it's a 2+2. I assume you were talking about the rapide. d89 is basically the convertible version of the db9 so they are essentially the same thing. So Jon is correct.

Personally prefer saving a few pennies and getting the vantage myself. not to mention the fact that i see quite a few more bentleys than astons... don't really care for the continental. just screams "i'm rich!"

I have seen several Conti GTs, both on the road, and most recently in Manhattan Motorcars' showroom. They never impressed me. The Aston, (regardless of which one) has presence. I am biased in that the DB9 is my current favorite car, and I have a V12 fetish. Regards, Huntsman

I'd take the:

and smoke all you suckaz in your fancy Euro-cars...

Forget both of them. Get a loaded Phaeton and save $100k. It's a Bentley in disguise.

The Phaeton is a nice car, although the thought of spending 100K on a VW is a little unsettling for most people, I think.

Ok, it seems like most people here like the Aston better. I prefer the Bentley, it seems classier than the D89 and the interior is incredible! I saw one in a showroom in Stocholm and was really impressed.

Congratulations! You win the asshole of the week award here on SF.

Jon.

Brilliant idea.

I would get rid of both and buy Maserati Quattroporte instead. Is it a better car? I don't know, but it has better name than those other two.

Those punched design peddles are rather like Audi's. Steering wheels are just chock full of stuff these days.

They shouldn't engage in swapping parts.
