Let me guess... He is the first one to buy the new (ugly) Vantage?

That's as muscular as we like the Vantage and thankfully there is a lack of gimmicky details. My only complaint is abut the grille(mesh). It makes the car look unfinished, like a prototype. Hopefully darker paint might make it blend in with a car a bit more.
As for the interior. It's a hemorrhoid of a mess and looks like a Ford Focus or Mustang interior on steroids.

I`m sorry, but that looks horrible. The front from certain angles looks good, but it is hideous overall, especially that huge grill that makes the car look like it`s huge mouth is always open. The rear is better, but did Jaguar design it? And what`s up with those small exhausts? I see nothing that I recognize as an Aston Martin here, it looks like a mish mash of the new Supra and a deformed F-Type. The old one is way better in terms of design in my mind.
At least the interior and side profile looks decent.
Not blown away like some are here. Same for the performance and pricing.

Save the odd (and frankly, rather cheap looking) fine-mesh front grill and perhaps overly-boisterous rear diffusor, I find this cars' design outstanding. Far better resolved than that of the DB 11.

Well you got your proof now, but not the one you and I were wanting: Aston can't make pretty cars anymore, this new thing I am seeing here looks like a complete design disaster inside out. Well actually, the inside is even worse than the outside, this interior looks like a complete joke. Makes the ugly DB11 interior look pretty.
I keep thinking Fisker Karma too, somehow.
Some changes indeed, lol. Like, a Chinese ripoff sort of change....

Lack of gimmicky details and a plethora of ugly new ones IMO.
Agree 100% on the interior. Your description is spot on.
I think it looks awful inside out. Rear is OK though.
PS: Car would've been far less of a disaster was it anything but an Aston.
Look at its predecessor... look at the DB9, DBS, Virage, Vanquish...
Now, tell me this looks better or even remotely as good as any of the aforementioned.

Wow, that is worse than expected. Much worse. I will withhold my final opinion until Geneva though.
Why in the world couldn't they make it like the DB10?! I don't get it. That car was beautiful. It's almost like Maserati with the Alfieri. The design is there. All you have to do is build it.
What happened with the once so elegant, upscale, British brand? The exterior screams nouveau riche. It's brash, loud, look at me. The interior looks bland and the buttons look like they're straight from the old A-class...oh wait they might be.

Associating this gentleman with Aston Martin is rather uncalled for, don't you think ?
He'd obviously rather have a Buick.

Probably packaging problems and lack of R&D money. A bit like BMW with the E65 7er, after the Rover debacle.
The DB10 is a movie car, a fable. Making a full on production car is something entirely else sadly.
