The most significant part of this new car, IMHO
Is the availability of 7 speed manual transmission! Being a strict 3 pedal kinda guy for my faster wheels, I was already feeling frustrated due to the lack of alternatives from marques like Ferrari & Lamborghini. So I'm certainly pleased to see that AM is still offering this choice, along w/ Porsche. Bravo!
Totally,
the interior looks thoroughly luxurious and ergonomic as well. I was curious to read what the responses here would be like, I intentionally didn't post a front image of the car yet because to me it is the weakest point design-wise. A tad too bland/generic...
Please....open a dealership near me.
i saw this on FB earlier and the comments and reviews were not very welcoming....many said it looks like Mazda MX-5. Anyway, I like it. Rgds Raymond
Lol,
I have to say, as much as I like the car (a lot ), the resemblance of the front cover to a Miata is unmistakable . On the other hand I am confident in it being the most appealing new vehicle for ~$150K on the market. For a certain kind of customer that is...
For that kind of money...
For that kind of money I'd rather pony up the extra dough to get into a Lamborghini Huracan 580-2 or better yet try out a used MP4-12C. I just passed on a 2011 Vantage, stick, 8k miles, stickshift, gray (tungsten) exterior, gray and black leather interior...
I agree,
it won't hold that value for too long. It is simply not as much of a timeless classic as its predecessor, but I do think that in that price range for a brand new (relatively) high-tech sports car it holds its own against the Huracan, 911 and well, not so ...
It's predecessor was designed by two famous car designers!
Ian Callum and Henrik Fisker both contributed to the beautiful design of the former Vantage. You're probably right. Few cross shop a semi-GT Vantage and a mid-engine super car. Hmm, admittedly, I'm just constantly drawn back towards the former Vantage, wh...
I think....
you've hit the proverbial nail on its head. The Vantage of choice would still have to be the V12 S, but the car I would part with my own money for is still the marvellous DBS. I would simply love to have the opportunity to test both the DBS and the Vanqui...
As always, a sexy, sensual, beautiful Aston.
As far as sports cars go, I love their designs the best.
I am glad
that I had decided to sell my Vantage. Now I can dream of the new one - and a dream it will always remain unless I swap my watch collection for one
I don't like the exterior.
It has lost the english flair, it looks like a Japanese car. Aris
Understand your views completely.
At first glance for me, it looks nice but not “Aston”-y...
:),
that's exactly why I posted that particular angle, it's the best one of the car for me as well. Cheers, Filip
