Quite simply, they aren't the same cars at all. Perhaps you are greatly misjudging how similary these cars will drive and feel. I can't tell you for sure until next year. BTW, the new Vanquish will probably have around 550hp (my speculation). Slightly different demographics. I know a lot of folks in the Aston club and many of the DB9 contingent aren't even considering the AMV8 and vice versa.
