Aston Martin, Jaguar and Maserati - DealerPinch Blog

I promised my readers an article about Aston Martin, Jaguar and Maserati earlier this week and here it is!

For some odd reason, research for some cars is much easier than for others. It's not because the ones not so written about aren't appealing - I know not why it’s much more difficult to find a performance review for the Maserati GranTrismo. Yet, when searching the internet for the Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT, article after article seemed to be thrown at me.

So, let’s begin with the Jaguar F-Type which is priced from the $92,895 range up into the $110,000 range. The F-type is supplied by a supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 that encourages 340 hp, while the S models get a boost to 380 hp. The rear wheel drive has a six-speed manual and the new all-wheel-drive model has an eight-speed automatic.

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is the result of a 10 year-long line of serious road consuming automobiles. This beauty carries you behind a 4.7-liter, quad-cam dry-sump V-8 and comes at a cost of $102,725 for the coupe, and $117,225 for the roadster. A six-speed manual and a seven-speed single-clutch SportShift II automated manual are the transmissions available to Aston’s lovely drivers.

The GranTurismo Maserati was a little more difficult to peal the skin of, and although I’d call it my favorite choice of the three, it’s a rather well-hidden treat. It's price range is higher than both the Jaguar and the Aston Martin, weighing in at $132,825-182,009. You can literally spend as much on it as the highest end pricing of its competition to nearly twice the lowest end of the competition's pricing. This car is equipped with a 454-hp 4.7-liter V-8 making you think you fit in nicely with the Jaguar and the Aston Martin, yet, you can also run along class with the Gallardo and its well-known cousin Ferrari. Neither the Jaguar nor the Aston fit into this prestigious category.

All in all, if you want to fit in to the world of auto drivers without being checked out by every single bling-seeking maniac, the Jaguar will keep you feeling the most conservative. Although the two share so much in common, including chassis and engine, Aston has finally taken itself a little higher and supplied it’s very own likes.
