AMT Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 http://www.autoblog.com/2016/03/01/aston-martin-db11-geneva-official/#slide-3813150 How can this be 'stunning'... look at the rear of it! And the silver two tone roof...no. The one car I was looking forward to seeing was the DB9's replacement...and I'd still rather 'have' a DB9. I love ranting about styling... I know its subjective but I hate that arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 It's hideous. Utter mess of a design, externally anyway. The inside is nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good word to use though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 We're all in agreement though on the Aston though right? It's not good ~ well apart from the engine (& Dan likes the interior). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 The engine I have yet to be convinced on. However, it should be (utterly) epic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Not a fan of the look of that Aston, just doesn't flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) I could put up with the front...but its not pretty... Its like they've went too modern and just started slashing bits of bodywork at random bits. Gutted ...gutted the car I can't afford to buy a wheel off is not as good looking as I thought it would be Its hard to follow up when the last thing you made was... http://preview.netcarshow.com/Aston_Martin-DB9-2013-1600-3f.jpg I want... in that kinda light grey and I want it now. Lotto this weekend I think lol Edited March 3, 2016 by AMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Well I think it's utterly stunning and if someone gave me one I'd keep it, for a while anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 If that was sat on your drive, I don't think you'd disown it, there are far worse POS out there It looks more F-Type to me for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 for anyone who doesn't want to open the link, here's the rear of the new DB11 in white 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I wouldn't disown it. I'd quickly sell it for something that looked vaguely decent instead. £150K, more like £175K incl options, that's a lot of money for something that challenging. Now, conversely I actually think if they translate that design to a smaller shell, like the next V8V, that could work much better. In the same way the DB9 was always prettier and suited the styling much better than the V8V, this could be the opposite way round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 At least they're doing something different now. The DB9, vantage, rapids and virage were all identical And if you think this is bad it's not a patch on the dbx concept (worth a google) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 DBX has those silly roof rails too. But you know what? I think the DBX is actually a more composed design. It's still horrific, but it's better than the DB11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattross1313 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 The inside is nice. We looking at the same car?! I've never been a huge fan of Aston's, but that's a whole new level of ugly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I know, it seems like people either like the inside or the outside, but not both! I think it's a bit colour-sensitive. Some I've seen are nice, some are actually awful. So I may change my opinion to the fact the whole car is crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 But you know what? I think the DBX is actually a more composed design. It's still horrific, but it's better than the DB11. Just when I started agreeing with most of your opinions We won't agree on my next car though you've made your thoughts on that clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 They've got the configurator thingymabob online now and it looks good.... but the car..still does not. I'd happily take one, then sell it, buy a barely used 2015 DB9 and enjoy the change...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpy Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Thread revival time as I had the opportunity to jump in one as a passenger today. Officially not out until next month but my friend works for Aston Martin and popped round with one today. I love the look of it, the aeroblade looks pretty smart in the flesh ( creates a virtual spoiler) The engine is what you would expect and throws you back into the seat when playing with the loud pedal. The exhaust only really comes really into life in 'S' mode and what a lovely noise it is Would post some pictures but my friend sadly wasn't to keen them going on a car forum just yet so have to respect his wishes. The cockpit is a bit meh for a £165k car and I have not seen so much tan colour ever, way to garish for my liking. Thank god it comes in other colour options!

ATTAK Z Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) I'll just leave this here for the DB9 lovers out there Henrick Fisker also designed this, which I like a lot BMW-Z8-029-750x500.jpg Edited August 27, 2016 by ATTAK Z 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 The rear is quite F Type. The puppy pooh brown leather, well ................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Oooft this threads jumped forward lol. The more I've seen of it in reviews the more I quite like the front and front angles, most of the side.... but I still hate that arse. Especially if its got the black roof going down - too much going on. And those spindlay alloys... hopefully they make better options.

AMT Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 If they fixed the back I'd have one.... (post lottery win lol). Otherwise..this car ..this colour...those wheels Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
