V8 Vantage Roadster

As far as astons are concerned i'd always take the hardtop. They just look more complete for me.

Well, here you go then...
Aston Martin chose Paris to launch their new "Automated Manual" Transmission for the V8 Vantage. It's called the "Sportshift".

Yeah! About time. I just hope they do it right....unlike the Vanquish, but the DB9 was quite good.
 
No! Death to flappy paddle gearboxes!

This really sounds like this is the same system as the Vanquish gear box. The DB9 has an auto-box, but this is really a manual.

My first thought too. As JC said, the reason the Vanquish's gearbox is worse than DB9 is becuase it's really a manual glued onto the flappy paddles. Whilst the DB9's is just and auto glued on.

I'm afraid this might be the same as the Vanquishes.
 
Automated manuals suck. They're so pointless, just there for the Schumacher-effect of using these stupid paddles. The only one thats slightly good is the DSG.
 
Oh dear. I hope not. I will have to see if I can find anything out.

I'm afraid this make be a deal breaker. :(
 
It would look much better with a metal folding roof... but even then, the coup? would be so much sexier.
