    Good job ruining the DBS. Front and rear spoiler along with those wheels look horrendous.

    while -without a doubt- the car has grogeous proportions, it lacks the classiness of the DB9 or even the DBS, if you can talk about the latter as a classy car.
    The styling seems to be very -dare I say- vulgar. And i won't even start talking about the rear end.

    It is definitely more vulgar, less classy, but at least they did vulgar/less classy right! Absolutely gorgeous in my opinion, but one can't expect to mistake it for anything else other than an overstated, aggressive exotic sports car.

    IMO, it still looks more elegant, actually understated, and classy than most Ferrari models these days, and of course Lamborghini (who's intent is not to look any of those, lol).

    It is a pity that Aston used the same headlights from the Rapide as well as the Virage, and they didn't give the car an unique front grill. Otherwise this is fantastic update .

    At first glance i'm not really feeling the side profile. Another set of wheels would do the car massive favours aswell

    As one can tell by the test mules, the production car will less drama and more of a gentleman refinement by Aston standards.

    Or this is the final product with some optional extras and a 'concept' tag. I have a feeling the rear spoiler is here to stay, or it is available as an option.

    Thankfully its not present on the mules because its the only ugly element I have ever seen on an Aston. I don't know whether its the camera lens of whether the concept differs from the test mules but in some shots it almost appears to have a Panamera-esque bubble butt.

    I suspect they have simply covered the gap with tape, I don't mind too much as long as it is functional.

    I like the taillights, but why didn't they stick with a duck-tail spoiler? The spoiler reminds me of wannabe-boy-racer from the 1990's.

    It might produce more down force with the same or less drag than the duck tail because this allows air to pass through the rear end. I don't mind the look as much as long as it is functional.

    How lovely, the ugly Mitsubishi Eclipse-esque spoiler is actually production ready. Bummer. The revival of the Vanquish name plate is hopefully warranted by stark technical differences from the DB9.

    "Suit of Carbon Fibre?" Carbon Fibre all around the the new Vanquish then.

    The Vanquish better have carbon fibre body panels. I think bringing back the name Vanquish is a bit unfortunate when it is so hopelessly out gunned by the F12.

    More like, it better weigh less than 1,550kg and be more than just another Aston with an anabolic body kit, or else even the up and coming face lifted Panamera Turbo S will shame it. It won't be anywhere near the F12 in performance.
