Default Bentley or Aston Martin

Ok guys, if you had the money, which one would you get, the Bentley Continental GT or the Aston Martin DB9? Both are great looking cars, but the difference IMO is that the Bentley screams out I am classy, sophisticated and old while the Aston Martin says I am classy, sophisticated and young and hip. I would go for the Aston Martin. Which one would you get?

Bentley:






Aston

That would be a huge difference and an easy choice, so you have to choose between the GT and the DB9 because they are closer to each other in price.

Aston for me without question...

I don't find that Bentley to be a very attractive vehicle to be honest.

Oooh hard choice...Bentleys are gorgeous vehicle, from the interior to the exterior. You definitely get classy from the Bentley you also get it with the Aston but the Bentley is something else.

As for what I would choose, I would have to go with the Aston Martin and surprisingly they aren't that expensive, I mean they cost a shinny penny or two but still obtainable. As for the Bentley, like I said it's hard to choose. Pictures are one thing, seeing them in real life is another thing and these vehicles are extremely gorgeous when you see them in real life so like I said hard to choose.

In all honesty I think a Bentley GT in the right color with the right wheels (both from the factory) really looks great but I just see to many of them around. Its become the "go to" car for so many different types of wealthy people. I like to be unique and different so I'd go with the Aston, simple and sporty at the same time...in a coupe only of course.

A Bentley would be nice if I was having a mid life crisis.

The Aston Martin would be nice, no matter what crisis I'd be in.

I've seen quite a few Bentleys around here and they do look nice, but definitely not as nice as the Astons. The Astons look more sporty. One thing I do not like about the Bentleys is that the interior has too much wood, which some people like, but IMO, too much of it is overkill an distracts from the look.
