I like most of it, except the chin spoiler and the wheels.

[CraigMST]

Looks too chavvy to be an Aston. I see Aston martin as quite classy and that looks the complete opposite.

[Daniel1]

Eek. Looks like an aftermarket tuners car.

[PumpkinSteve]

The fk are those wheels?

[CraigMST]

I think it's the front splitter that makes it look hideous also. Combine that with the ugly wheels and the backend making it look like a Renault Laguna, it's horrible.

[Vocal Minority]

Positives:

The design is a decent evolution of the Aston 'design language'. Still an Aston, but looks actively discernable from the previous ones. Finally!.

The profile is nice, I especially like the line over the rear 3/4.

Negatives.

Wheels are not right - but that's easily changable.

The splitter is a bit naff, as is the lip round the sills.

The carbon effect on these bits of trinketry are oddly reminiscent of the Rubber bumper MGBs and must be killed with fire (or made body coloured, whichever is easier).

[ikarl]

I really don't like that....

echo the points above about AM supposed to be classy. Saying that, maybe it will look better in a different colour?

[mackie1]

All recent AMs seem to have crap looking wheels.

[LuS1fer]

Melted splitter that's been nudged into a kerb, terrible wheels and looks like it's been given a hefty kick up the ar*e. As opined above, far too chintzy for an Aston, it has no class.

[V88Dicky]

Looks like Aston have done to the DBS.....







.......what HSV done to the Clubsport R8 (VXR8);






Not my cup o'tea tbh.

[David87]

Those wheels really are awful. Seeing as it's a 'concept car', however, I would expect the one you will actually be able to buy to come with something less st.

[anonymous-user]

Looks like thet have given it an Audi RS style front bumper

[RB Will]

That black splittery bit on the front makes it look like a modern Clio or Megane

[dave stew]

It should keep the value of the William Towns V cars nice and high...

<off topic> what's that car in the back of the second picture? BMW M1 concept??? </off topic>

[Tartan Pixie]

I quite like that. Looks like it's going the same way as French design:






I suspect that in a few years time this aston won't appear so glitzy because we'll be more used to this type of design being used on more ordinary cars.

[Mr Gear]

The colour and wheels are designed to be eye-catching. You won't see many London drivers buying them in this combo.

If you can see beyond the colour and wheels, it's a nice design.
