Aston Martin, IMHO, is progressing on a dangerously slippery slope. The performance is starting to take precidence over what all Astons have traditionally been. drop-dead beautiful looks. I've always said that for the money, I would take the -slower- Aston DB series and V12's over the -faster- cars, simply because, until now, Astons are just rolling kenetic high-art. I don't care about being 1. 2 seconds faster to 60, I don't care about -only- topping out at 203. But now, I feel, Aston Martin's newest design team is starting to drop the ball. Yes, almost all Astons of the early '00's sort of looked the same, but then, that was the point. they were beautiful to begin with! I think this one is rather ugly. Faster? Harder-cornering? Perhaps. But I'd trade it.

Looks are everything, this car from the front is dog ugly. what were AML thinking when they signed off the design.
Think Andy Palmer doing a great job for Aston but he must regret this decision. guarantee it will be amended sooner rather than later. the last Vantage never really changed drastically shows how strong and attractive the original design was.

Like the 911 more? Just imagine picking a girl up and saying I'll be the one in the Porsche. When you could have said, I'll be the one in the Aston Martin. Nuff said!

A True British Sports Car! The cows that gave you that fine leather for the stitching were all British, the CEO is British, only the engine is German.

As much as the front end doesn't look like a convential Aston design, I think it works very well with the overall lines and makes a total knockout design

The formula of this car is: design = old Aston + bar of soap.
This is the case when the car is easy to spoil even this shitty color
