How do you feel about Aston Martin's new styling direction?

They are trying to get away from the Ian Callum/Henrik Fisker design of the DB9 that they have been recycling for the last 10 years.
>>
That's... an interesting look. Not sure what I think of it yet.

Mitebcoolr with pop up headlights?

About fucking time; they've been doing the same thing for 10+ years. Hopefully all of their cars will look similar to the vulcan
>>
They are trying to get rid off FeORD copy/paste design

>>13979972
looks really ricey
>>
I like it. Looks late 80's/90's
>>
Gonna be Ford's styling soon so I better get used to it I guess
>>

This is what it's reminding me of
>>
>>13979972
I hate the lights, but other than that its interesting.
>>
>>13979972
Yeah, not bad at all!

Looks 90's-ish and it's different from what they've been doing for so much time (although I love that current look)
>>
>>13979972
Oh man I am digging that hood so much
If it had pop-ups, it would be perfect

It's an improvement on their Vision GT at least.
>>
>>13981 wow man, I was thinking the exact same thing
>>
>>13982390

Jesus fucking christ.

The styling looks ok. Aston shouldn't go too edgy though. I view them as a more elegant Porsche, and the feminine curves elicit a lot of grace. It would be a shame to trade that for the grumpier version of jaguar's current language.

You have to accept that pop-ups are never coming back.

I know you guys say muh catfish about the Camaro

But this car literally looks like some sort of filter feeder, or perhaps it's scrounging around trying to suck RC cars into its maw.

small & sleek LED headlights are a meme & thus, are fucking disgusting. Even these retarded looking headlights look 1000x better than those fucking running lights.
>>
whoa a track only car thats probably a million bucks

who fukin cares

althogh it looks tight af
>>
>>13982816

This.
Aston Martin just turned the tables and played the game Ford has been playing with them.
>>
Looks good mayne, but
>pop-ups

Fuck safety, fuck regulations. Give me pop-ups. They'd look 10/10 even if you just pasted them on.
>>
>>13982943
Dude, no fucking chance to see those again.
That would be like producing steam locomotives again just because the steam looked cool.
>>
>>13982946
To be fair, pop-ups only screw over like one safety regulation and don't have any other major drawbacks. You could always have a strip of LED just beneath the popups/with the turning signal as a backup light source in the event a pop-up is broken.

I go by "The safest car to be hit by no car."

Can you just put some not-very-noticeable LED lights down at the red circles for visibility purposes, while putting pop-ups on the blue circles?

The DP-100 was stylistically based on the Aston Martin Bulldog.
>>
>>13979972
Take off the racing gubbins and I can see that translating well to a road car. Sleek and suave is a good look for Astons.

My God that shape is crying out for some popups, though.
>>
>>13982955
They majorly fuck up the aerodynamics at night.

>>
>>13983561
O shit thats good
>>
>>13979972
Looks very 90s.
>>
Is there an official statement somewhere about why cars like this don't have to comply to safety standards?

You can't tell me things like this get 5/5 NCAP and are kind to protesto- I mean pedestrians.
>>
I see we're now moving away from MASSIVE front lights into slits.
I like it.
>>
>>13983816
Anything is an improvement from RRRRRRR I'M ANGRY lights really
>>
>>13981561
Ayyy lmao 'ricey'. You're a joke buddy
>>
>>13983816

You forget that it might look good in this case.

Problem is if this goes meme like the windows, they will make small headlight just for the only reason TO MAKE THE GRILLS AND EMBLEMS 10x BIGGER.

I fucking bet soon they will integrate the headlights into the cars emblem which will stretch over the whole front end.
Next step after this will be to widen the front to make the already huge emblem even bigger.
