Probably a lot less than they used too. The design language, while beautiful, has become much more familiar over time. And as someone who actively tested a Vantage V8 S when shopping, the F Type has it well beat for performance. With that said, the Aston brand is strong, more so that Jaguar, and the car has more cachet if that's what you care about.

For what it's worth, many of the folks on the Aston forum over on 6speed, talk about how much they appreciate driving a car with an understated elegance, a car most don't recognize because many do not know the Aston brand.

Seriously? What's wrong with you that you are so fixated on getting "attention"? Are you over-compensating for something?

If attention is all you really want then just get a DeLorean and fabricate some time machine parts. Guarantee you this will have people surrounding you every time you park.

Absolutely, Ther was one of those at cars and coffee in Sydney a while ago, complete with hivernoard and flux capacitor. It attracted a LOT of attention.

Most Aston Martins are in a subdued color such as greys, silver, tungsten, so no they do not stand out. Go to any Aston Dealer and look at their stock and count how many say red and yellow cars they have .... just like a Bentley or RR.
