I love the interior, but man it's a pain in the butt to clean if it gets real dusty.

ummm... just like any other Aston but now even more front heavy. But if you're into heavy GT cruisers... I suppose astons are the sexiest ones.

Just like any other Aston?

I move for an immediate ban lasting FOREVER.

^^^ Me too. I still prefer the DBS.

This concept is too stylized for Aston. I want clean lines, smooth aesthetics, and an elegant stance; this Aston is too harsh and complicated. However, I still wouldn't mind having it in my stable...

I agree, every single Aston since the DB7 has looked almost exactly the same. The Vanquish was the best of the bunch though, I'm not sure how much longer they can keep using this design theme.

Don't get me wrong, all Astons look great, but I would go for something a little less familiar if I were spending north of $100k

I like the DBS/DB9 just as much as the Vanquish (S), they are different, the Vanquish is more aggressive & muscular, the DBS more elegant . . .

IMO, they can make all their cars look similar the next 5,000 years if they look this damn good.
DB7


Vanquish


DB9


Vantage


Jag XKR
