If I didn't already know that the new ///M8 Coupe was going to drop hard in value once I drive it off the showroom floor, I'd get this car definitely.
But on paper it's a difficult choice perhaps.
2019 M8 Coupe:
+ AWD M xDrive System
+ 600hp
-- ZF 8spd Auto
+ Good utility
++ Best looking out of all current BMW's
- Big chassis
--- Heavy Chassis: ~4,200lbs
++ Loads of Tech
---- With options: ~$150,000 USD
Versus:
2019 Aston Martin Vantage
+ RWD
+++ Killer Looks
-- Not much utility
++++ 7 Speed Manual Transmission Option
+++ Exceptional light curb weight: ~3,300lbs
-/+ Small Chassis
- Average Tech
+ Tuned AMG Engine by Aston Martin with 500hp
- With options: ~$160,000 USD
The Aston will definitely do much better in retaining value if both cars are driven the same mileage per year. Oh well, Aston it is then.
