man... i went to an Aston Martin Dealership when i was in england... i was totally blown away!! this company hand assembles their automobiles, in a mansion converted into a production warehouse, and the engines are plaqued with the name of the maker of the engine, and the amount of detail that goes into one of these cars is amazing! you can't appreciate this automobile enough until you sit in it and hear the purr of the engine... the roofs are lined with lambskin, and the seats are like home couches... unbelievable vehicles... worth every penny that they ask for...

They do... There are three dealerships in Canada. Here in Toronto it is Grand Touring Automobiles located on Dupont. There are three models currently sold here, the DB7 Vantage Coupe, DB7 Vantage Volante, and the V12 Vanquish. Perhaps already available is the new DB7 GT (and GTA).

The concept car you have seen named &quot;AMV8 Vantage&quot; is actually the upcoming DB8. It will be released in 2004 as a 2005 model. The current DB7 will also be replaced soon but has not yet been named.

Here are some more pictures of the AMV8 Vantage, repainted for its appearance in Geneva.

As a member of the Aston Martin Owners Club I get to see these magnificent automobiles on a regular basis and even get a chance to drive a few once in a while. Going to the factory and seeing the panel beaters take a mallet and beat a sheet of aluminum into a car is amazing. If you ever go to England you have to go to Newport Pagnell for a tour. It's a little different now, no more beating the panels by hand, but I guarantee it's worth the visit. If you need info let me know.

Unfortunately I'm not an owner... yet. Thankfully you don't have to be an owner to join the club.  http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
