having just seen the photo link in this thread, not sure what to think, about 50-50 atm.

 

from the side it looks nice and at last has a decent set of wheels to make a statement, also the lines look nice. but, from my pov it just doesn't look any different from other similar styled designs from other companies. The Supra at least had a great look (both mkIII and mkIV).

 

can't help thinking the design of the front looks too Cylon from the original Battlestar Galactica series. no nice lines there. headlights look awful. from the front of the front wheel arch to the rear it looks fine.

 

shame really, but i think they could have done better, imo.

Quote from one of the pics:

 

From our Director ' This is going to be one of the fastest cars in the world, faster than almost all Ferrari's, yet with the comfort and reliability of a Lexus, this car has been developed using cutting edge technology, expect to see gadgets never before heard of. This will be the worlds most reliable and user friendly 200mph+ car with an anticipated 40+ mpg, the car is due late 2006 / early 2007'

 

Maybe we'll be able to afford one in about 10 years then

Now this is what I'm talking about - a car company doing what they do best - designing new cars!! - and it looks nothing like an Aston Martin FFS - think back a way and answer which car had the nice flowing lines and the rear 1/4 of the modern day coupe first? Stand an early Mk4 Supe next to a DB9 and look at it side on at the lines - any similarities there? - so, which car looks like which and who did the design first. :search:

I get pig sick of every modern sports coupe being compared to an Aston - fekkin - Martin, yep they are nice and very desireable and if I had the money to keep one let alone buy one I would probably have one in the stable, but I do get fed up of people banging on about modern sports coupes looking Aston Martin ish, almost like they all derive from that company's designers table.

Guess that turned into a bit of a rant really - sorry guys.:p
