Agree with others, that grille really sorts out the styling!

Love the interior colour, but the actual interior layout/styling is still pretty bad though.

Looks better than I feared it would after seeing the camo pics. Agreed with others that the interior is a mess and not elegant at all and I wish it didn't have the fixed roll over hoops, would look so much cleaner and less F-Type if it didn't have these. But I hope AM sell loads of them.

The two bonnet grilles you can see on blue car help the look

Lovely outside but that terracotta interior needs burning, infact it looks like it came out of a kiln.

Terracotta is too kind ... I think that shade is called "Germolene" ... apart from that it's a good looking car - at last !

That grille is sooooooo much nicer. Now just offer something similar on the DBS, another wide mouthed fish job

The hardest choice is coupe or convertible - both gorgeous. Sensational levels of want.

Amazing the difference the grille makes. Still not as pretty as the old one but certainly an improvement

Why did they lose the speedster humps of the previous gen Vantage???

The rear deck looks so generic now. The rear 3/4 view is way too much F-type now.

Front is improved

So I'm not the only one then! I thought the original front end was very distinctive and futuristic. This more traditional grille is fine and the car is gorgeous but is just a bit more conservative.

I also like grill-less Teslas.

Trout mouth gone. Result!

Now, can Aston please offer silver wheels and silver grille to remove the (IMHO) hideous black wheel and grille?

The removing of the "fairing" (for want of a better word) around the grille has transformed the front of the car.
