Well, it was the best looking car ever.........until along came the DB9

Still, it's aged beautifully and will certainly always be one of the most gorgeous cars on the planet.

For me the DB9 pips the DB7 as the proportions are spot on. By that I mean such things as the overhangs are "just right". The 9 also has much better detailing. Ian Callum did a superb job on the 7, especially when you consider it was heavily based on the Jaguar XJS and all the compromises it entailed.

If you ask me, the ONLY suspect looking Aston was the Atom. Even the Bulldog had a certain 70's charm

we r talking about the bulldog drawn wiv a ruler and wiv pop up lights like something out of start wars?

i have to say that i think the atom was fine mayb not 1 of the most stylish of cars but not bad.
and that the bulldog is "the black sheep of the aston family"

Forgive me. I used to own a TVR 350i, so I have a thing for wedge shaped cars
