About £30,000 for an Atom 3 in GB, starting $52,500 US for the American spec Atom 3.

But the Atom's is all luxury and tickles your balls as you drive? :P

Just kidding.

In all seriousness, I tried to convince my uncle to buy that specific Aston, so we actually had gone down to take a look. He hated the interior colour (and refuses to buy an ostentatious car like that to begin with), but I personally think it looks 100x better in person.

I bet this guy is regretting his decision to buy the atom from Brammo in pieces then spending the same amount or more in labour to build it as a kit car here.

+1 don't think you can get a more fun (and awesomely insane) street legal car!

There's no doubt that it's probably more fun, but I'd consider a DB9 an awesome "all-around" car. Think about it; it's a $65-70K car so you wouldn't hesitate to drive it in the winter; it sounds absolutely monstrous, it'll have insane presence no matter where you go, and it'll be comfortable on long trips.

The Atom is more like a once-a-week car. If that's what you want, sure, it'll be more fun on that one day... but what about the rest of the week?

Haha, I didn't say anything about wanting any of the cars or considering buy any of the them. I just said that the atom is a more fun vehicle to drive....hands down.

That being said, AWD and something you can actually drive every day of the week? Gimme.
