    Yes, the front has some design elements from Aston Martin but everything else ? I don't know.

    Re: new Aston Martin

    Aldo,
    I understand what you're coming from. Without the picture of an actual AM next to it, it certainly has some curves that remind of the AM. I wonder if it would be enough to annoy aston martin buyers though...

    It has struck me before that the recent ford designs actually look pretty good. Not dreamcar-level, but certainly up to a level that I wouldn't mind driving one (looks-wise). But hey, this is coming from a guy-in-the-streets, not from someone who can afford to drive supercars yet...

    Re: new Aston Martin

    It was just the first thought I have seen the picture. But the first thought is very important. I must say, that the design of Ford is nice. On the other side the design of AM is getting boring, all the models are like clones.

    That is truly shocking - I really thought that was an AM for several seconds. Hopefully the rear looks a bit different from the original Smiley

    It was the Ford USA CEO who signed off on the design.

    Re: new Aston Martin

    I'm sure Aston's lawyers are looking very closely at this design and are more than a bit perturbed about the likeness of the front end treatment.
