Apparently car looses LED headlights as well and goes back to HID projectors.

I like it, but I agree that it looks just like all the other Astons.
I also think Audi & Porsche suffer from the same issue of reusing the ONE design that worked for them.

Hard to tell from the last image since the lights aren't on. The other two images are the concept car.

Finnaly!!!!! A four door sports that looks good. This will deffinately be on the shopping list and I am sure the wife will apreciate the foors doors for the kids.
Release date is 12 months from now, which is even better but I bet the waiting list is going to be horrible for this car too.

While its one basic shape, its GORGEOUS. Even Jag uses it and it looks great. Ian Callum has created masterpieces from this style.

Porsche needs to look at this as the PROPER way to make a 4 door coupe...
