  Post-apocalyptic, not post-modern. [Drops to knees, shaking fists at air, tears running down face, screaming “WHY? Dear God whyyyyyyyyyy?”] What has always amazed me about these (not this) cars is how such a minimalist, non-complicated design can be some damn sexy. Ironically I passed a Vantage at lunch. What a car.

  Did Pontiac take over Aston-Martin while I was asleep? It’s morphing into a Grand AM!

  It’s an Aston alright. But is it Vantage/Vanquish/DB9 beautiful? Arguably, this is the first Aston Martin to give me pause regarding its aesthetics. Sure it looks powerful and all but…

  It reminds me of the penis shaped car that Peter Griffen bought on an episode of Family Guy.

  I think it’s the price that I’m more worried about…you could have bought a Reventon for that if you wanted to blow $1M extra on a body job and some extra stuff.

  Yeah, when I saw the whole thing unveiled, my first thought was that it looks like a caricature of the DB9. The back is sexy, but those weird gills in the front are silly. Also, the grill is so exaggerated…

  It would look good if it wasn’t for that fender rapping over the front bumper. They were trying to hard to do something different there, and screwed it up. It ruins the car. However, I’m sure they will have no problem selling all 77 of them no matter how it looks, so in that regard, I guess it will be a success. To mee, the Vantage, and DB9/S where perfect. They didn’t want this thing to look the same, so the only place to go was down. They need Ian Cullum back in design.

  Another craptastic Fisker variation. Really. I like the elongated, phallic thing. But this. The sides are stolen from a Mercedes. Over-exaggerated Aston-Martin front grille. Ridiculously deep headlight wells. I like the extremely angled windshield and side-window design. But really. Beyond looks, does this car perform? This argument was discussed on the Maserati Gran Turismo review. At this price point, and at this economy you need more than looks to sell this. Right? Am I wrong? I like, and really want, Aston Martin to have a reputation and air akin to pronouncing Porsche when discussing automobiles. But it doesn’t expose austere like Porsche does. Or Lamborghini. It’s usually met with a nod and apathetic discourse.

  i’m just glad they finally clicked onto how to design the taillights to give the proper effect of what they were after. sticking a body colour piece of plastic on taillights just looks cheap (current S-Class, facelift 406 sedan etc)

  This is way more than a Reventon “body job”. The One-77 will have a 7.3L V12 which is dramtically 25% lighter than the 6.0L V12 is starts out from. Power is 700bhp. This is a supercar in every sense of the word.

  Wait till you see this 1-77 from rear 3/4 view….I honestly could not tell it apart from the Fisker when I saw it yesterday. Unbelievable similarity…
