I was staying in Windsor a couple of weeks back and a fellow vacationer had a black late model Aston Martin. All black and I don't think that any contrasting lip gloss was needed. I know that there is a historical racing precedent.

 

Another prime example that money cannot buy taste or class... my god that blue with red trim is hideous

 

No, it is not hideous; it is much worse than that. Coyote ugly I think applies here. I would chew my arm off to escape that.

 

So why is this "popular"?

 

It actually looks a lot better in person. Their photo does not do it justice. They had the blue and white one side by side in show room a few months ago. They had a few models a little while ago that had contrasting rocker panels with GT on them. Not sure if that was painted on, but would assume it is at their prices.

I can see the lipstick if you tracked the car. Helps it stand out some.

 

No I think justice is done, sometimes the verdict is harsh but fair. The Aston body style and design is absolutely gorgeous, adding that tactless trim is like Meagan Fox getting a tattoo on her face like Mike Tyson did or putting a neon frame around the Mona Lisa

 

I agree and see the statement; the most beautiful woman can get away being outrageous and outlandish, it only adds to her charm.

 

Aston has quite a following in the Middle East where tacky has free reign.

 

You got me there, and I think Miami also follows that mantra as well

 

The blue one looks like a clown car.

 

As I had mentioned before I like the style of the later model AM's and if it weren't for the lack of a dealer or mechanic I would have purchased one. That being the case the blue one would have been one I would have considered. I would overlook the trim gaudiness as it's the big picture I was looking for and would have had the trim covered whether it was with wrap or paint. As for the look I think it is ugly but with enough scotch I could like it. Gotta admit it would stand out in my neighborhood.

 

I will not spend more than 60k on a vantage, it looks small, and the clutch issue is not cheap, I wander if a rapide is less to maintain. but the vantage is well sporty. for 100-110k I will find a v12 vantage.

 

A round number sticker for the door or hood and you'll have center show case for patriotic parade in red-white-blue!

Both cars look much better than in person.
