VERY disappointing. Leaping on a bandwagon long after the wheels have come off and so attrociously conspicuous and downright ugly too. Vulgar in almost every sense.

I wish it could be a joke, but I guess it isn't :( The worst Aston ever seen by my eyes.

They've tried to create a modern interpretation of a pre WWII model and... god... they've got it all wrong in any possible way... combining a pre-war car design and a boat??? resulting what? a coat? nothing good... that's for sure! A car with absolutely no identity! That's bad for such a company

This is not an Aston. It doesn't look like one at all. Aston must get Ian Callum back!

Damn right, it's NOT Aston Martin. It's LAGONDA. (witch is owned by A-M) BMW owns Rolls Royce. Rolls Royce isn't BMW, Right? Same thing here.

A serious insult to the Lagonda name ... why oh why would AM even think of creating such a bad concept ... a US style, oversized overweight SUV design is totally incompatible with the Lagonda luxury saloon image.

Haha, we had nothing to do with this disaster! This is the British at their best, live with it. I loved the hesitation with the clapping. I bet they all looked at each other, like, WTF is that.... Come to America, we'll show you how to build a monstrous good looking luxury SUV like the Cadillac Escalade! They run on E85 and get decent gas mileage. They are the most comfortable ride for those cross the desert jaunts from Los Angeles to Las Wages er, Vegas! ;-) http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080608.001/2009-cadillac-escalades-to-run-on-e85

I suppose it's the original Lagonda. The new one is the ugliest thing from AM I've ever seen. Sure, it looks different from the rest of the AM models (which all look exactly the same), but it is horrible!

LOL. If that is all they can come up with aston should just continue to 'redesign' the DB9 with new badges, at least that looks good.

OMG! Is this an Aston? The front part reminds me to some Chrysler and the rear part to some mix between Bentley Continental GT and Alfa GT. This car is not an Aston Martin. Sorry.

Aston have well and truly shot themselves in the foot with this one. Looks like Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Skoda and Land Rover had some kind of wild orgy and spat out the Lagonda. Truly horrific, and I'd like to see it burn in hell

I'm sorry Dr. Bez. This isn't it. You should be very carefull in reviving the great Lagonda brand; and in times of crisis like this, the 'new' Lagonda should be absolutely flawless, wich this ...thing... isn't.

it's hereditary looks are still from Aston. It just looks like they got the rapide and kinda stretched it vertically. see? this is the problem. Aston has only got ONE look. ONE design. That design is fantastic when it manifests itself as a 2 door sports coupe...but when it tries to be something big and clunky... it just looks like a piece of crap.
