Aston Martin Vantage
The Vantage, the least expensive Aston Martin (the base version still goes for more than $100,000), is equipped with a 6.0L, 565-horsepower V12, which can be paired with a seven-speed manual gearbox! This year, the 4.7L V8 is not offered in Canada. Less modern than the Porsche 911 or Audi R8, the Vantage has the advantage—did you see what we did there?—of having a style that is at once inimitable and classic.
