Is it just me or does anyone else think that the new generation Astons owe more than a passing nod in terms of design to the Maserati Coupe?

I've thought this for a while but with the release of the AMV8 which is more similar in size to the Mazzer Coupe I think the resemblance is quite striking.

Or maybe I should stay of the booze on a week night.

At least it's a change from everyone saying the new Aston's looks like Jags and vice-versa.

Personally, no. I don't see the likeness.

May well get shouted down for this, but cant help thinking that the new V8 has a startling similarity to the 350 ZX.

Anyone else ?

I agree, the bonnet vents help. The masser has always been a bit of an italian aston. Mine has been mistaken a few times for one. Untill they see the boooooomerang lights .

In fact it was chosen over a DB7 because of price and the fact you can actually fit people in the back.

Still, nice looking car

Sorry, could not resist! It's knowledge is not that great either (I hope)....does it mean a 300ZX or a 350Z?

Hmmm, sort of know where you're coming from with the 350Z comment.

I love the 350Z (almost as much as the 300ZX ) but it aint an Aston! Nor a Maserati (to get back on topic!)
