Yes, 100%

Amigo, the white one is, in fact, a manual! I test drove both back-to-back because I've never previously driven either, and I felt it would be most illuminating to feel how they perform one after another.... The DBS is a 2011 model year, and the Vanquish is a 2014. I first drove the Vanquish, and was sincerely impressed with how rigid and well handled the vehicle is, as opposed to the DBS its entire body is carbon-fiber. The 8-speed (older) Touchyronic transmission is decent enough, nothing hugely positive, or negative about it. The best feature inside the cabin is the S button which opens up the sport mode and makes the exhaust sound like Zeus' thunder bolts . With that said, the DBS was, unsurprisingly to me, the car I loved even more . The manual transmission is, of course, the biggest differentiator but it also rides more supple/soft, and the riding position is slightly higher which aids visibility quite tangibly. Currently, the prices for manual DBSs are in the mid hundred thousands, but whenever I end up being able to source one (hopefully) in the low hundred thousands, I'll get it and keep it 'permanently' . Much appreciate your sincere interest, thanks for looking and reading my ramblings! Cheers, Filip
