There is just something about Aston's design, it does not have the appeal of say a 997 or SL. IMO
I see SL's quite often as well and it has not lost it's appeal to me. I've seen the DB9 a few times and was completely underwelmed. I think the last AM that truely 'wowed' me was either the Vanquish or DB7.

Re: Best current production car design is…

SL is one of the best designs ever to come from Mercedes. It should had been on that list instead of CLS.

The aston is hot, no doubt but what int he world is the 5er doing on 6th place? It's not a bad looking car but if we talk about beauty the A6 has the more appealing design.

I agree. I like the 5-Series too, but it doesn't belong on this list IMO. The 6-Series yes, but the 5 not!

That's an Aston tuned by Andreas Karlsson?

Re: Best current production car design is…

Why on earth isn't the Citroen C6 on that list?

Any list that doesn't have that car is of no use to me. Especially one who puts a Veyron in there as well.



Simply the best-looking sedan currently.

Re: Best current production car design is…

u gotta be kidding me TS ,,, this car imo is simply the ugliest looking sedan ever ...
edit : the AM v8 vantage is a good-looking car but i think the db9 looks better in every angle, it would have been more correct the opposit way...

It's a beautiful design if you ask me - it's very characterful and is much more exciting than anything MB or BMW can throw up currently.

Just look at it! If you thought the 5 Series was radical, just lay your eyes on the C6. It's got it covered left, right and center. It's just so...exciting.
