Presented by: Brenny Souza Project 15: Buying Your First Car June 8 th , 2011
THE ASTON MARTIN DBS
An English Car VS.
THE MASERATI GRANTURISMO
An Italian Car
Let’s look at the Aston Martin DBS
I would really love to own this car because I am a big fan of James Bond. Ever since I was little, I always wanted to be like James Bond; therefore, I thought the only close way I can achieve that is by buying my own Aston Martin. But all in all, it is such a beautiful car, an perfectly designed by professional car designers that really show their love to the car. It is such a great car for men to own and I would hope to won one when I am older so that I can make good impressions to others while still pretending to be James Bond!

Now lets look at the Maserati
The reason why I want one own this car is no little then the fact that almost every rich man should own an Italian Sports car. It is high quality car that allows you to ride smoothly while still having the feeling of being in a sports car. I am a big fan of all sorts of sports cars, but the Maserati really seems to stand out the most. I feel that the car symbolizes man hood, and power to those who deserve. When people see me driving this car, they’ll think to themselves, “Wow! This must be powerful and wealthy!” Good impressions are always helpful in life.
