Once cost is removed, they are different sets of compromises.

For an only car, the XKR would win. More space, game over.

XKR and DB9 are close on space.

That was a good storm... I put on new Conti DWS 06 tires and took it out for a spin in that snow. Actually handled very well!

Vantage has the more fun engine and gearbox. XKR is more classically beautiful. Stock for stock I take the Vantage because of the manual gearbox. Looks I take the XKR, either X100 or X150 over the Vantage or DB9. The original Vanquish is a different matter. So beautiful. The newer Vanquish never did anything for me. For the same reasons I'm not a fan of the Vantage and DB9. Now the new DBS Superleggera is fantastic looking.
