I saw one driving around the streets of NYC this past summer. Looks horrible IMO.

Those old Aston Martin Lagondas are funky. I'd much rather have the Volante or the Virage

Oh yeah, we had those in Miami, and I remember seeing one on Miami Vice, too. For all the beautiful things one could spend $$$ on, someone had to buy this.

Apparently the designer of the Lagonda was only equipped with two items.

A pencil
A ruler

The long front & rear overhangs make an ugly design even worse.

I don't remember the Lagonda from Miami Vice, but Bruce Willis' character was driven around in a Maserati Quattroporte in one episode. Funky car, but much better presence on the road than the Lagonda.

I'm so glad that I DON'T remember this car! The six headlights are too much for that car.
