Each to their own but I think that whoever designed that needs to calm down a bit - just a mish-mash of slashes & creases

Yes it’s beautiful, that colour really suits it very well.

As Miles Nurnburger (exterior designer for AM) has said, it’s his favourite version of the Vanquish Zagato, albeit I have a soft spot for the Speedster.

Interior looks interesting, will have to see how it looks when I finally see it “in the leather”.

Reverse parking will be somewhat challenging 😊

I agree it has to be this or the Speedster over the Coupe or Volante.

I think I read it comes with front and rear parking cameras.

That is quite possibly the ugliest car I have ever seen, AM have really lost their way.

I think the one that’s lost his way is you sir. The Porsche forums are over there......

I have to admit, it does resemble the Panamera.

Ah all the trolls are out, even Captain Smerc

There’s a reason why the Aston Martin forum here on PH is dying. So many people who are rude or just posting cr@p looking to get a rise. I know that’s the internet generally but for a while this section of PH appeared to be relatively immune

So long and thanks for all the fish

Or perhaps people are looking at the pictures objectively, rather than with their rose tinted AM branded glasses on... This thing really is not a looker. How can you go from cars as beautifully styled as the DB9 and Vantage of yesteryear, to this monstrosity?

With respect, this is a forum, and everyone should be free to voice their opinion.

Aston Martin has produced some absolutely beautiful cars over the years - my personal favourite being the V8 Oscar India - I think my automotive tastes got stuck somewhere in the late 70's.

Every once in a while, car manufacturerscome out with what I view as an "emperor's new clothes" model, and IMHO this is what Aston has done here.

"RobDown" refers to anyone who disagrees with his point of view as a Troll. He's quite the Marxist.

I dont know him but with respect I doubt he is a marxist, astons aren’t really cars ‘of the people’ lol.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, at least thats what I keep telling myself. I think it looks terrible.

I think there is a marked difference between commenting negatively on a thread of, say, the car of a new owner, and on a thread like this. The former is trolling/poor manners, the latter is not.

I like the car because some of the lines are bonkers.

I don't like grey.

I own a FIAT ,is it okay to give my opinion ?

I agree Rob.
This was a place where AM owners or potential owners could ask for general and technical advise or just have a chat and avalarf.

It's a very sad state of affairs when a "Johny Foreigner" intrudes himself onto a forum of one of the few automobiles left with a proud British heritage and impugns the character of a fine English gentleman.
Rob Down is an English gentleman of the finest character, possessed of a straight back, strong limbs and flowing locks.
