Wrong ! Mercedes are obliged by the FIA to provide the exact same engine to the likes of racing point and Williams, they just know how to extract everything from it and are better at building a car than the other teams, that's why they are the best despite the fact that they share the same engine with a couple of other teams

I have driven both and for me it would be the Aston. I love that Matt makes a clear statement at the end. But I was not able to get a good seating position in the Mercedes and had terrible visibility (I am 1.85m, not overly tall). Also the bonnet was too long to see clearly, and the car didn’t feel as responsive to me as the Aston. The Aston felt a lot more compact and light (especially considering it’s weight). I am sure it is a personal preference in the end.

Coming from someone who's had both the cars (and currently has the AMG GTS), I agree with Matt LeBlanc. Everything about the GTS is better than the Aston, except for one thing - which is the name. Aston Martin is just that much more special being that it is a brand that's rarely ever seen and is prestigious. Everything else about the AMG GTS is better. I would miss the Aston sometimes, however, since I got my GTS, I don't anymore and in some ways the GTS has way more road presence than the Aston or so I am told by friends.

Having driven both, I own the Vantage. Much better place to spend time, more comfortable (to me). They both have way more performance than you can use on the road and keep your licence. I have no idea what he's on about when criticising the ZF gearbox, but since he didn't articulate any actual fault, I suspect neither did he. Very odd. I think the Carfection vid on the same comparison is a much more mature take on the issue.

I own the Aston here and the drag wasn’t a fair race, Aston built more for track so even though AMG and Aston have exact same 0-60 times, all the extra torque Aston has is at 3k rpm and higher so you need to use launch mode to get the 0-60 speed from dead stop, basically hold the brake and accelerate then release brake….but I can squeal the tires shifting to 3rd and 4th overv 60 mph
