Default Picture stopped me in my tracks...

Drool... might just be the most beautiful car design I've ever seen.



It's the only Aston pic I saw in this photo gallery for an Olympus E-420 review here: http://www.dpreview.com/gallery/Olympuse420_samples

Calling it a car is an insult.
It is, indeed, the most beautiful automobile in the world.

Yes.

The proportions on both the Vantage and the DB9 are perfect. I stare at either of those when I see them on the road.

I saw a bunch of these in LA this past weekend and to be honest, it doesn't look as great as I hoped for. But I did see a Vanquish and that made my day.
