My only gripe is the door mounted side mirrors. Lexus does this, and I've never been a fan.

And yeah, this is a million times better then the Porsche or Lambo 4 doors.

BMW F22 · 12-18-2008, 06:11 PM

Can't AM make an ugly car at all? Because all the cars from them have been stunning!!

vAnt826 · 12-18-2008, 06:48 PM

Um, it's just a DB9 with four doors? Not sure what is so special about that.

Looks better than the Panamera because it has a dedicated trunk instead of looking like a wagon.

Nice job AM!

Deda · 12-19-2008, 04:52 AM

so ellegant!

jerrybajwa · 12-19-2008, 04:55 AM

looks really nice

Draman · 12-19-2008, 08:36 AM

Looks much nicer than the Panamera. I still wish the trunk was a bit longer to better balance out the loooooooooooong hood though!

Yup...you also may have noticed the Lexus IS-esque C pillar.

True - but you knew what I meant. Mounted on a pedestal from the door panel vs. the corner of the window frame.

Big Windy · 12-19-2008, 11:44 AM

I guess everybody's gotta have a four door now???

chuck92103 · 12-19-2008, 11:49 AM

No SUV?

Year's_End · 12-19-2008, 12:35 PM

It looks good but I'm not losing any sleep over it. Seen it once, I've seen it a million times. Better than the Panamera but it's no surprise.

!Xoible · 12-19-2008, 12:56 PM

they all look the same... +/- few doors

Aston Martins are beautiful, but having the exact same front and pretty much the same rear is a little boring. AM could have made it more special, if this is actually the way it will come out.

Cheers,

CSL

wuufer001 · 12-19-2008, 04:57 PM

different front and rear wheels?

Krueger///M3 · 12-19-2008, 05:14 PM

They took the exact rear off of a V8 Vantage and the exact front off of a DB9 and added two doors. I like the Estoque better.

Bobby_Light · 12-19-2008, 09:04 PM

Cars looks like it's going to have a real presence in person if that makes sense.
