Default Aston Martin Tries to Steal Jaguar Villain Theme

Just saw the picture of the DB10 that will be used in the new James Bond film Specter. To my eye this looks very shark like and I think it has a very evil look. Not necessarily a bad thing but I think the hero should now instead drive an F-Type because it looks, to my eye, closer to what a hero would drive. The AM just bleeds evil. Don't get me wrong I like the look I just think when it comes to the concept of "evil" AM clearly is turning the dial up. Aston Martin DB10 to co-star in next Bond film

I really like the direction they are going with overall. The shape is still classic. The chiseled hips look a lot like the F-type. I need to see the back view to see how it finishes out. The front I'm not a 100% sold on. It might grow on me though. Can't wait to see it on film.

It feels too conformist Aston to me... I wish they had taken more design risks.

With the F-Type, Ferrari 458, and what looks like a stunning 2016 Maserati Alfieri, we are seeing some really extraordinary design-forward sports cars and Aston has historically been a leader in this genre.
