The Vantage is the first Aston Martin in decades to offer a well-rounded performance package along with its mouth-watering looks. Despite a deficit against much of its competition when it comes to the performance spec sheet, it works together so well that it remains a top pick. It's more expensive, but it's also more exclusive. The 2007 Aston Martin V-8 Vantage Roadster expands this in the only way possible, by removing the top. Not only does it make a stunning car even more dramatic, it has the byproduct of eliminating one of the Coupe's few shortcomings, poor outward visibility. .
