But it is not for the UK market!

So it doesn't matter whether it appeals to the UK car fan.

You'll be surprised what people in China and Russia like and how that differs to the UK. One would expect AM to have done their market research and perhaps have used a group of designers with some Chinese influence?

This will save lampposts everywhere, as dogs pass their verdict.

My late father in law drove a Lagonda; it was the first Aston I ever drove. It may not have aged as well as most Astons, but in its day it had the feel good factor. It was so futuristic that it pushed the limits of technology beyond that they could deliver reliably.

Other Astons look so good that it gives you butterflies in the stomach to look at. This is just pushes the limits of my stomach to keep lunch down.

"Dare we say it’s even likeable?"

Well you can say that if you wish.

Personally, I think it looks every bit as ghastly in the open.

An unspeakable piece of derivative hideosity.

In all, a tragic waste of time, money, and worse still, of a splendid automotive heritage.


HOWEVER... ugliness didn't do the Cayenne any harm ;(

i think if thay sorted out the back end a bit and raised it up a bit like as ground clearance and a higher roof..

but over all its not grate and needs work but with such a volatile market Aston martin might need something like this to keep it afloat its makes it more attractive to families and rich twa@# like footballers

Lets hope they rust, and rust away quickly. all the passion I had for Aston Martin, has now been tarnished.

There are people who will buy them for sure. Just because they can, nothing more needs to be added, appart from....

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and no, a bird hasn't just shat in my eye, but I like it. A lot. Trying to see it as ugly but I cant!

Actually more offensive than the Audi Q7, and I didn't think that was possible !
