You mean C6 Z... the C5 Z has it's unique "love it or leave it" FRC profile - that's styling... the AM is just crap.. :)

I concur!

That is a really muscular looking car, no need to screw with the great factory looks with a garish (and flimsy looking) body kit. The car looks great stock, why would you mess that up?

i think it looks alright....the AM V8 Vantage was already a muscular looking beast....this just looks like an assassin's muscle car.

did you rear the description? supposedly this was an official Aston Martin bodykit installed at the request/knowledge of the North American AM executive.

interesting car. not the greatest V8 Aston i've seen....but kind of strangely interesting.

Opps, no I didn't read about it...I'm not interested in buying it. ;)

Either way, its definitely not an improvement over the original design.

It looks like an old trans am race car. If you from a distance I might have thought that was a camaro or something.

I agree with the Mad Max statement above! Just looks too busy...

I love the Aston Martin V8, but with that bodykit it looks cheap, particularly the front skirt

it looks of you installed it in a friend's garage :? This could be the most rare aston, but that body kit looks very very cheap and vulgar. Might be one of the first signs of rice

Well fine, sorry I posted it, it may be an aftermarket add-on...it might be factory, who knows...it just reminded me of the proper Whale-Tail Porsche 935 racers...the Moby Dick cars. Same sort of swoopy rear end and chunky wheel arches.

Car is believed to be a one-off works Vantage wide-body design made for the American market, commissioned by the President of Aston Martin North America, possibly his personal vehicle. Extremely rare in any event
And good that it's so. This body kit destroyed one of the prettiest cars ever :twisted:

This car looks like some muscle car because it had some wide body custom kit on it, I belive the original look of this car much better...

It suck ;( Destroying a classic like that, by trying to give it a bulkier look :(

I agree with Vansquish though, it still looks nicer than a C5 :D

yeah the front looks a little weird. I think it looks OK, but not how an Aston should! DB9 is the prettiest car EVER!
