Mmmmm. I think its gopping. It looks like some chav has made an Aston grille for his 1998 Lotus Elise. I think the Aston designers have spent too long on barryboys.com.
Yuk.
Yuk.

Not sure what that means - but if it means pug ugly then I agree. Whats with the dodgy duelling scar under the eyes and what could rather kindly be referred to as child bearing hips?
On the video you @ 20 seconds you can see how they guys flinch away from it as it comes round towards them!
Looks ok completely side on tho. :)

Sounds faaaaaabulous!
Normally aspirated V12?
Can't beat it.
Long may the Gaydon crowd continue to use them while all others seem to be going down the turbo V6 route.
However, don't get me started on the Cygnet [read: Toyota IQ in drag]. What a pile of cr4p!
I suppose it does reduce the fleet-wide emissions as required by the Eurocrats, but is it too high a price to pay?

I watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwaGBUccq2c and rang Aston to order one but they reminded me that v.a.t. had now gone up so I told them I wasn't bothered anymore. Well, everyone's got their limit haven't they?
