OT: New Aston Martin Vantage
#1
I love it except that front grill! To my eyes it looks terrible and unfinished like an aftermarket piece.
It will no doubt be an incredible car even with that mug only a mother could love

Interesting. Nice price point. Hard to tell what it really looks like in those pictures. Certainly some odd lines. Rear deck in particular. Also the headlights are really tiny?

on the first look: good!
on the second look: mhh.. in the front a new Miata / in the back a Renault Laguna Coupe ?
and i don´t understand there isn´t any good automatic transmission available at all AM cars? i mean doubleclutch. The ZF sport-automatic is good and gets better each year. but it is still a "converter"... yeah also M cars will get this ZF sport-automatic in the future... but thats not the path a Porsche GT car entusiast is going. imo...

Geez that thing is ugly. <---- Somebody should have said this in the Aston Martin board room long before the car was released.

Always wonder who approves these new designs - ugly
That side view of the green car, is down right disturbing

I must be in the minority. I agree the front end is a big polarizing but overall I really like it. It’s a bit more expensive than I expected at 150k base so I expect with options around 170-175k.

They've stolen some ideas from their Vulcan which kind of work but... it seems too tall maybe. I get the feeling the inevitable more speed/track focused variant will look better.

Have the current vantage. Think my car looks better. Lower grille on this seems like they didn’t know what to do. New electronics will be welcomed by some but the terrible ones in my vantage haven’t bothered me one bit. I cant stand the Mercedes style afterthought screen tacked on top of center console area. And then to top it off they got rid of the crown jewel as well the NA V 12
