I saw the exterior and said "hey, don't be mean."


I saw the interior and said "oh, dear."
The yellow is not a bad color, but I wanted to make it go with the interior the least.
Challenge accepted.

Part of me wants to send this off to an Aston dealership to see what reaction I'd get.
Your's looks like Captain Marvel designed the interior and when asked about exterior color she replied "I'll take whatever".

In either case, both of us probably wouldn't be able to come with in a certain distance of an Aston Martin again.

Edit: If someone were to offer to give me this (taxes and insurance included) I would still take it.

What saddens me is there will be someone out there who will specifically configure the most hideous, clashing colours possible so they can flip it in 20 years time and say it's a 'rare colour combo'.
 
  • It looks compact compared to the previous models
  • Side view: looks like the Jaguar F-type
  • Not much of a difference between the previous Avantage. I definitely prefer this new 2019 model over the older Avantage.
  • Interior is beautiful but personally, I prefer the German type of interiors. Straight lines and very classy. The new Avantage interior, although a beautiful interior looks messy and too much of different shapes and things sticking out (personaly view).
Front end reminds me of a shark's snout/nose/front end (:D). :P
 
I'm configuration one.

Can't choose the colour. These colours are gorgeous:

  • White. Difficult to see the differences between all the whites.
  • Magnetic Silver
  • China Grey
  • Divine Red
  • Cinabar Orange*
  • Lime Essence
  • Yellow Tang
  • Airport Blue**
  • Cosmos Orange*


*very beautiful colour
**Flugplatz Blue :D

Got to admit that this car has grown on me the more I've messed with the configurator. Didn't like the grill at first but once you remember the numberplate will cover a fair amount of it then it's not so bad. My spec is fairly simple, lunar white exterior, no carbon bits, black roof and diffuser, bright exhaust and brakes. The interior has basic seats as I prefer the design on the door with this option. Two tone black/dark grey interior with royal mint stitching and hyper red insert, glass buttons and silver dials/vents.

Saw these pics on PH... I think they both look really good...

The DLR's give the headlamps more shape.

Car also looks better with a front plate IMO, which is a rare thing to say.
 
Unveiled on Rodeo Dr. 2 days ago. The exhaust tips look a tad odd sticking out, in the flesh compared to all the promotional images.

No matter how many times I see it, I'm repulsed by body-colored diffusers. Whether its real or fake, I don't think it should be painted.

IDK this looks photoshopped. Reflections on right headlight are non existant comparing to official picture

I'm pretty sure they are photoshopped, but the grille in the 'shopped pictures looks so much better than the official mesh grille.
 
I've seen it in person, and it is just as ugly. The new Vanquish is much better looking.
 
To be honest the Vanquish looks quite bland and generally "meh" compared to the new Vantage. It, along with the DB11 just freshen things up and they look mighty fine doing so.
