New Aston Martin Vantage

I think the front end is aesthetically disadvantaged, but other than that... yeah, I would. 2018 Aston Martin Vantage gets a twin-turbo V8 with 503 HP | Driving I'd post

I'd post photos but this board sucks for that. Go to the link and see 'em yourself.

Great car, but I agree.... front end looks a bit unfinished.

Think about this. How far away are those body lines from the 370Z ? Wouldn't take much for those to be the Z35.

I like the looks, except I think they ran out of money when it came to designing the grill.

Looks better in this electric lime green shows off the lines better, love the rear.

Possibly, they farmed out the front end styling to Lexus? ;-)

Agree about the back end. Beautiful. And since that's the only side of the car that most of us will ever get to glimpse... ;-)

Not sure that this car really needs a high-visibility jacket, though. Most people will hear it long before they get to see it.

The front end looks like a Miata, The headlights kill it for me. Not the comparison I want for my 150K car...

Exactly my initial impression. Do look forward to seeing them in person.

Since I like weird, different front bumpers and grilles of course I love it. Almost all Aston Martins are beautiful to me.

Except for the front grill its truly beautiful. But front grill looks like you should plug in a usb. Seriously look at your usb plug and scale it up!.. why oh why do that to a car?..
