Aston Martin unwraps new V12 Zagato en route to Villa d'Este
I think Id like it better in a more traditional Aston color. I wasn't expecting red.
I'm people, and I like.

i love it... but something about it is keeping me from jumping up and down. not sure.
i'm sure the more i stare at it the more i will find more things to love about it.
for example this view of the rear!

There's a great deal to like about that car, nearly ruined by a couple poor detail choices that stray a little too close to GTR-land. I think Aston should take the profile and those sexy hips and hang some more Aston-y details on the rest of the vehicle.

Don't know what to think at the moment. I want to praise aston for finally straying out of their comfort zone and doing something different, but at the same time this looks like a nissan-aston mash up

I never thought GT-R until some of you made mention of it above . . . but now I can see the similar designs themes . . . if only for a moment.
I think this has replaced the Alfa 8C as my new favorite car. I especially like this half-n-half version (road/race).

Wow...Aston Martin finally builds a car I don't want??? Maybe there is something to this "end of the world" hooey 
I think they tossed out the muscular elegance that's the true heart of Aston's out the window with this one. Looks way too "Tokyo Boy Racer" for my taste.

I'm glad this is designed by Zagato and not AM. It's not really a very good looking car to me.
It's actually reminds me of the GT-R a bit.
If this ended up being a new direction for AM I think I'll be a sad puppy.
For me AM designers have create the most beautiful cars on the planet and this just doesn't live up to that.

It's probably too loud and sounds too much like a race car for you guys as well . . . oh wait . . .
