Aston Martin anyone?

meh, not overjoyed, but i dont think its too bad.

i still think the 80s BMW’s where the best looking, especially the 6 series Bimmers

the side shots of it are suuuuper hot. it looks sorta silly from the front and back though. could just be the camera angles.

I only think of “shark nose” when I look at it. Meh, its OK… not “WOW”

Exactly what I thought.

ah…interesting…

it does remind me of aston martin from the side though…

interior looks pretty good…new design…steering wheel reminds me of honda though…

I think the new direction they are going in sucks quite honestly. Look at the new m3. Doesn’t look nearly as mean as the previous model.

meh, looks like a chrysler

looks 100% better then where their styling has been going the last couple years. nose kinda reminds me of a z8. It looks like a big car (i’m assuming 7 series ish?) but in the pic of the clay model, it has no door lines, and it looks like that car would make a stunning coupe. imagine bringing the “hip” line foward about 6" to a 1’, and then the door line being a couple inches infront of that. and imagine it the size of a 335i, with the TT i6.

fucking mean.

Looks a little too stretched out from the side, hot though.

I think it looks more like the maserati quattroporte than the aston.

What’s hilarious is an e46 sitting next to an e90.

I wasnt originally an e90/2 fan, and I think the e46 is simply gorgeous. But a Gen I e46 (stock) sitting on the lot next to an e92 is hilarious how dated it looks.

that’s exactly how i felt about it.

BMW’s grow on me with time. i didn’t like the e46’s when they came out.

definitely looks like it should be kept a 2 door, way too long. front looks mean though, and i like the back back. who knows.

side profile and rear end look great IMO

the front end looks rather “dull” though
