BAD ASTON! NO! BAD! This doesn't look like what an Aston SUV should.

It's not horrible but I wouldn't take it over a Cayenne. The design language lacks the classic Aston grille. I can see the resemblance in the tails and headlights to the FX but other than that there's really no comparison.

a classic grille can't save this.

That looks hideous. I thought the Lagonda was supposed to be the 4 door sedan and not some silly giant SUV. I really hope Aston Martin does not waste money and resources on some pointless stupid gas guzzling luxury SUV that will never see any kind of terrain rougher then shopping malls parking lots and congested highways just for people who are still dazzled by the image of big luxury SUVs. Don't tarnish the brand just for some extra sales to non enthusiasts image buyers. They could put the effort and money into a mid engined sports car or a large lux/perf coupe to go against the Bentley Cont GT.

I actually like the Venza though.

That's exactly what I was thinking except for the ford flex part.

I think it looks like an uglier version of the FX50.
