Boke :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: that is one poor looking car both inside and out. I agree it looks like an MX5 at the front and inside is not special in any way! Not a future classic!

That rear end is super sexy and very classy - definitely an aston :thumbsup:

Also love the liquid metal finish.

Each to their own, but for me that rear looks too fussy!

Mind you I do like the front! :thumbsup:

I agree. Not an ugly car just a poor effort. Looks like a collision between MX5, Jag Coupe, Infiniti sh*te and Lexus Coupe thingy. Doesn't look like an AM should...even a baby one ! :thumbsdown:

Very nice,and while the front end is lacking some wow factor,the rest of the car is spot on,and looks compact and aggressive :D :thumbsup:

Not sure on the Merc/Amg engine though, sign of the times, unfortunately

Looks fabulous but I have seen one in the flesh alongside the DB11 and IMHO the DB11 looks the better of the two and is a lot cheaper.

Still would settle for either if offered one :thumbsup:

Saw a TV programme on how these are put together - amazing.
Looks a little unresolved at the front but bet it looks better 'in the flesh' - and that'll be sensational :D :thumbsup:
