The Vanquish is actually very distinctive and different from the DB9 in the flesh. There are a lot of muscular curves that just don't have any impact in mags/on tv.
It is a very
looking car indeed.
Not sold on the DB9 - pretty unimaginative IMO
Love the V8 vantage, yet to see one in the flesh.

Glad to see James Bond is driving an Aston again. Let’s hope we see a little bit more fast driving this time, and less driving round a silly ice palace 
I did hear a horror story that Daniel Craig was going to get put in a supercharged Mondeo. Thank the Lord!!
I really don't think anyone can compare lazy Porsche design to Aston Martins current efforts. Sure they look similar, but that's all about corporate branding. All the big firms do it. Take Audi to example, all their new cars have a very similar front end, in an effect to make their cars instantly recognizable, so stupid people can spot them on the road.
Porsche are still the laziest by a country mile

If you have something which is recognisably your own and which works, why not play off it and take advantage for your new models? Makes sense if you ask me.

This isn't comparable to the Audi corporate nose. It's just out and out laziness. I'm a proper petrolhead and I honestly can not distinguish between any of the 3 cars, nor could I identify just one if it was put in front of me.
