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 and fairly reminiscent of a Mazda Miata! The Miata is a very fine car for its category but this is an Aston we are speaking of! Fingers crossed for the new Vanq next year........
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.

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 . Cheers, Filip

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, dealer maintained, for $65K. It was pristine, and sold quickly.
At $150K, that's a big delta compared to the $100K Vantage GTs that you see now. It'll get that amount for now, but in the years to come, I doubt people will be so quick to pay $150K. Look how quick the Bentley Bentayga has cooled off. The Vantage looks good, but it doesn't look as good as the DB10 in the James Bond film... We will have to see where the market place ends up on it.

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 much the McLarens but they are philosophically wildly different cars.It's difficult for me to imagine anybody cross-shopping a Vantage/Huracan and a McLaren .

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, what a beautiful car... Not a lot of power in the V8 model, but that's only further excuse to make a little more engine noise!
The V12 Vantage S model boasts around 550 horsepower and an even more impressive soundtrack... Those are extremely emotional cars. Great sound machine, too much power for that chassis, gives it a touch of danger, like one of those earlier AMG-Mercedes vehicles with power that overwhelmed the chassis. But mostly interesting because of that character in the sound.
The DBS is a sharp looker too, maybe that's the better way to go... And that carbon fiber body is definitely worth merit.

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 Vanquish II back-to-back so I can feel for myself what the differences between the two are....
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.

Understand your views completely.
At first glance for me, it looks nice but not “Aston”-y...
What a beast! But it has something of the Renault Talisman that I don’t really like 🤔

:),
that's exactly why I posted that particular angle, it's the best one of the car for me as well. Cheers, Filip
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!
Second that! May three pedals live long and prosper 😀...we can dream, can't we?!? [nt]
