That is beautiful.

But I’d be lying if I said it didn’t remind me (a bit) of the new Accord Coupe.

“In 2010, we’ll the Vanquish’s “legitimate” successor.”

I think you missed a word there ;)

The line of the rear fender looks a little too Dodge Charger for my liking. The current Vanquish is so drop-dead gorgeous I don’t know how they can hope to improve it.

I walk past an Aston Martin dealership about once a week, and always spend a few minutes drooling at the showroom window. Their current range is undoubtedly the most beautiful range of cars ever put out by any manufacturer anytime, anywhere.

I think they visually de-tuned the DBS from the screen version. At any rate, I remember it being as tasteful as the other models. (It’s been sold so I can’t see it any more.)

Re your photochop: I’d have at least seven spokes in the rims, but otherwise it looks pretty Aston-y.

Looks like every other Aston since the DB7. They’re all beautiful, but I wonder how many times they can keep making the same car over and over again. I guess Porsche has managed to get away with updating the same 911 design for decades, and the 911 design (aesthetically) is vastly inferior to the Aston design so maybe Aston will be OK

Meh…

It looks too much like a DB9 front-end mated to a V8 Vantage (RS?) rear with hideously flared fenders that are a misjudged reference to the beautifully flared fenders on the V12 Vanquish IMHO.

Although I very much like the ‘foglights’ on the Vanquish I don’t think this can quite cut it as a new Vanquish.

Might have been a good idea to make the DBS was a little bit more like this (with slightly tuned-down rear fender flares) instead of making it a DB9 with a spoiler kit though.

Although I think AM should basically just stick to the models they’ve got right now for the better part of a decade and then bring out something new and not bring out another model that looks the same as all the other ones, because that’s the way to tire the consumers of their (stunning by all means) look.

That would be a great looking car and AM should make it!
