Yeah, I dunno. Why would you want to work harder? Sounds a bit like S&M.

Think the front would look much better without the lipstick highlight , lose the silly roundel on the door and the Auto-plas louvres on the back.

I usually love the styling of Astons, I find this to be a random mixture of swirls and lines, not in the least cohesive.

And that fabric? Yeuch...

Horses for courses dear boy, do you own more than item of footwear?

The daily has an auto, the 'fun in the sun' one has a manual, different purposes, different priorities...

I think I'm (just) sitting on the "love it" side of the fence (on looks alone, not on the price!). What I'll call mainstream Astons are classic Aston but with a very modern look whereas this is classic Aston but with a massive hint of 70s/80s thrown in too which I agree is slightly challenging from some angles but very, erm, unique (in a good way I think!) from others.

Manual twin turbo v12 as well though!

Love Astons , Ramsey has one of these.

Love Astons. Can't stand Ramsey.

[Skeptisk]

If all sold then whether we like the looks or not is irrelevant. Wouldn’t be for me though.

Behold, the Leslie Ashton Martin!

Very marmite. I looks like a design that Zagato rejected after being asked to come up with some options.
Manual V12, WNTL.

[zorba_the_greek]

love it

Looks abit 1982 Lancia 037 Group B Works Evolution 1 racer

[Geoffcapes]

Don't like the looks at all.
The front looks like the robot in the Short Circuit film.

[stuckmojo]

I should like it but I think it's ugly.

[Perosus]

Unfortunate looking...

[FaustF]

That red lipstick has to go , straightaway it would go.

Love that Aston are doing this and hope others follow suit.

[dpop]

There is no point in a manual gearbox when the rest of the car feels digital - as pretty much all new cars have felt for the past 5 years at least.

[MrBogSmith]

Why do I dislike AM steering wheels so much?

[Mutton]

Looks like it trying to push a Porsche 959 out of its backside..

[MyV10BarksAndBites]

Love this car.. and the Victor... Proper blokes car in this emasculated western world.... All Black or Aston Green for me....

Don't like the daft cover on the rear window or the big white blob on the doors. A circular steering wheel would be nice too.

Other than that, it's a yes from me.
