Vantage is my obvious choice but I'd be happy with either. Battle of the Brits!

i have driven the XKR-S (non-GT version)
and it is bananas
the supercharged engine is pure exhilaration
but im sure the vantage V12 is another type of experience all together

You can't go wrong with either of these. I'd totally take the Jag though. Nothing like a fierce supercharged cat.

It seems like the Jag and the AM have been compared for years. Even clarkson loved the Jag because it was like getting the AM for half the price

Well in part because they were related for years under Fords PAG (Premier Auto Group) - Aston, Jagaur, Land Rover and Volvo
