When I look that car I feel as though the driver should be rocking a mullet.

That Aston might be the 2nd ugliest thing I have seen in my life, number 1 would be the Pontiac Aztec.
Manual V12 is pretty cool though.

Wouldn't it be something if MFG's like Ferrari and Lambo started offering manuals again ? They have to be noticing the frenzy and fanfare people have for manual Porsches.

Aston designers must have been inspired by the Ioniq 6 & Mustang

I get how you can think that but if you look back into Aston Martin history you'll see the inspiration for this cars design. It's an interpretation of an early Vantage. I think most of the newer Porsche enthusiasts dont really have a sense for the broader past... with I get.

It looks like the love child of a three way with Camaro, Mustang, and Challenger. Odd I am even saying this as I am always raving how Aston makes some of the most beautiful cars known to man. I keep promising I will break down and buy one. Just need to come to terms with the money that will be set of fire when that day comes.

You must not have a sense of the broader past

AM officially built the most hideous car in their entire history.
