Aston Martin DB9 Coupe

For 2009, the Aston Martin receives a host of updates. Exterior freshening includes distinct grilles for each trim. The V8 model features a horizontal theme while the W12 has a vertical theme. Restyled foglights and taillights, along with side mirror-mounted turn signals and new wheels complete the mild face-lift. The cabin sees more sound insulation, more aluminum accents and the addition of satellite radio and heated seats (front and rear) to the Features list. Choosing the 2009 Aston Martin as your premium luxury sedan is sort of like buying a pair of Brooks running shoes. They may not impress most of your jock friends as much as Nikes, but you (as well as serious runners) would have the smug satisfaction of knowing you chose a product built with an unwavering dedication to its purpose.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe

The 2009 V8 Vantage debuts as the brand's first midengine exotic sports car. Highlights include aggressive styling, an aluminum body structure, a 420-horsepower V8 and all-wheel drive. The 2009 V8 Vantage's unique mechanical layout, high-tech content, everyday drivability, and original style make it an intriguing exotic for those seeking more than just raw performance. The Vantage has an admirable balance of handling ability with ride comfort, high-tech suspension with transmission, roomy cockpit with upscale interior design and easy-to-drive nature with that sexy-sporty style.
