this car is ugly, they should stick to the 2 door design. :thumbsdown:
I wonder if the F10 would have same kind of this shape.

After seeing the success MBz had with the CLS, all the other luxury car makers are trying to capture this market segment with their own iteration of 4-door coupes.

I like it. I assume that this isn't the finished version, the panels look a little rough (and bad colour match). It's certainly MUCH nicer looking than the Merc CLS or the Maserati Quattroporte - I predict this will sell well (although that's a relative term, because after all, it's still an Aston, and will probably sell for two or three times the cost of an entry level CLS !!).

Agree, it looks like a 4-door DB9. The final version will be awesome.
Will be interesting to see how its priced -- I guess somewhere to compete with the CLS 63 AMG / Porsche's new 4-dr coupe / Bently Continental ??
Looking forward to seeing and hearing it -- always a pleasure to hear that Aston Martin V8/12 growl
