It's just six years old, but Britons have lived with it long enough to declare the Aston Martin DB9 (http://www.autoblog.com/model/db9) their favorite car of the past 25 years. Great Britain's drivers were asked to choose their favorite car from a list of 30 rides going back to 1985 and fully ten percent of them chose Aston's middle-child coupe, said to be "synonymous with James Bond" even though he never drove one. Germany rounded out the podium spots with the Volkswagen Golf (http://www.autoblog.com/model/golf) at number two, and the (Anglo-SaxonGerman) Mini (http://www.autoblog.com/make/mini/) at number three.
You can follow the jump for the press release on the survey. Or you can have a look at the DB9 Volante in the high-res gallery below and see if you can figure out why its hardtop sibling took home the trophy.
