Since the DB7 all Astons have looked the same
Discussion
I seem to be the only person who has noticed - since the DB7, all Astons have basically been the same design. It's like they can only afford one new design every 20 years, and they just keep tweaking it.
And they all look completely girly, whereas pre DB7 all Astons were proper chestwig chariots.
Anyway can someone please back me up - all Astons since the DB7 look like the DB7, FACT.

Hmm... you sound like my metros3xual mate, Gay Phil. I am more of a skol-drinking wife-beating 70s throwback.
Anyway the point is that no one seems to have noticed that they all look the same - only Rod Rammage can see clearly that Aston designers are a lazy shower.
Did the designer roll into the boss's office with a drawing of the Vantage, and the boss go "Well done Jennings, that design is fresh and original and in no way like the car that we are making at present"?
Hmm?
Makes me so mad

yep totally agree, they all look exactly the same. Positively boring and really femenine, nothing like the 70's muscle cars they used to be.And they all look completely girly, whereas pre DB7 all Astons were proper chestwig chariots.

Not at all. Rod's on the horns of a dilemma F355spider. 996 isn't ideal, but is reliable and seats 4. XJR8 rocks, only wifey won't get in it. Also considering an Allroad...Anyway F355spider, you stalker, none of this takes away from the fact that... what I said before.

Looks like you've made your mind up, so no point in conversing with you. But if you do put the DB7/ DB7 Zagato/vanquish/DB9/V8 Vantage alongside, you'll soon see the differences. A bit like telling the difference between the Vantage/ V8 Coupe of the late 90s. Or the DBS/ DBS V8. Or the DB4/4 GT/5/6. Or the DB2/ DB 2/4, DB 2/4 Mk2, DB MkIII.
'Twas alwasy thus?
Oh, and one tip: just because a car has four deats, dont think of it as a four seater. You'd be hard pushed to fit anyone in the back of a 996. Or a DB7. Or and XK8.

Furry muff Willamp, I spose you're right about previous genereation Astons. Just weird no one comments on it, s'all.'Twas alwasy thus?

I note what you say about the 996. I only have one nipper (that I own up to
), and it's 5yo. If I underfeed it to keep it small I may be able to run a 996 for another 5 years.
But note - they XJR is on my list - the saloon, not the XKR coupe. The running costs of the coupe scares me .
Yes, the body shape is similar, but the differences really do show, and they all have different purposes, V8 Vantage - the smaller sportier one, the Vanquish - The super fast yet luxurious one, The DB9 - the slightly less expensive (than vanquish new), more sporty, yet still luxurious one, and they're all so sexy, so who cares? Thats my take on it anyway.
