The 'Baby' Aston has always been my favourite. I think this one will still be my favourite of the latest crop.

I like the rear, a lot. the inside looks good, front headlights... not sure. Engine.. not sure. Sound? an astonified amg. we'll see.

I think cars can look a bit jarring in images. It also doesn't have a number plate so the front grill wont look as whale sharky. Guessing there will be some sort of mount too.

The 488 I think looks strange in pics but looks pretty awesome in real life. Similar to the E89.

Think it will look :thumbsup: in the flesh.

Really really love vantages. Still think the gen 1 looks gorgeous. Its the sweeping lines short overhang and long bonnet just looks right :thumbsup: Just like the M coupe.

BTW jimmy your Vantage looks the absolute balls hope your enjoying it :thumbsup:

Side on totally Aston. 8) :thumbsup:

Rear views totally Gorgeous. :thumbsup:

Front grill is an Aston Cartoon. And yep OP, I'll agree, looks like an MX5, to this avid Aston fan.

Overall, out of 5 it scores :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:
