Comon, isn't this one of the most original four door saloon ever built? Cool!

dingo 01-04-2006 08:50 AM

An "uncool" from me, hate the looks and everything about it. Since its a rare car its saved from being seriously uncool.

Shinigami 01-04-2006 10:00 AM

Hmm, I don't know. I mean, it's the kinda car if you see it on the road, you go "whoa", but then when you look over that first aspect of surprise, you realise it has all too many faults in the design, reliability, power department, and so on...

It's imposing, but so is a an old Caddy, and that doesn't necessarily make the Cadillac "cool".

So to me, it dips just below cool, and into the uncool territory.

LotusGT1 01-04-2006 10:06 AM

Cool. Badly built, but the looks and extravagance make it an easy "cool".

chest3r 01-04-2006 10:29 AM

Uncool!!!

It is ulgy as hell!!! :roll:

No.1 01-04-2006 10:31 AM

Cool because it is so rare, and different - kudos to Aston Martin for building it

It isn't beautiful enough to give it a sub-zero, so a regular cool from me :)

Darkel 01-04-2006 10:40 AM

Ugly but cool, just because it's different and your neighbour probably wouldn't have one of those :P

DeMoN 01-04-2006 01:39 PM

sorry an uncoo0l from me since it looks like the cars ghetto people drive in the US.

TransAm 01-04-2006 01:42 PM

It's a cool car, I am not quite sure what they were thinking but for me it has a certain je ne sais quoi

SFDMALEX 01-04-2006 02:12 PM

Its bloody great. Its a badass automobille. Period.

Fleischmann 01-04-2006 02:23 PM

I say it's cool, just because of it's history. Ston Martin were desperatelly struggling with their profits in those days. So a natural thing to do would be to produce a sensible car, but they put this totally crazy thing on the market. It was one of the most brave moves in automotive history.

irrational_i 01-31-2006 12:41 PM

It's cool. Ugly, yes, but I've seen a few. It's cool.
And that black dash when it is switched off is deliciously 70's sci-fi. 8)

stmoritzer 01-31-2006 01:10 PM

sorry, but "uncool" is my vote here

pzgren 01-31-2006 01:41 PM

seriously uncool - looks like a normal american car with an italian touch.... bad combination....

crayzayjay 02-01-2006 09:25 PM

Seriously uncool for me.

ARMAN 02-01-2006 10:24 PM

Uncool ugly mot**rf@ker 8)

taygunho 02-02-2006 07:39 AM

Seriously uncool for me. I think it is the ugliest Aston Martin.

bski 02-06-2006 04:20 PM

Oh, come on. Just because it looks unique doesn't mean it's uncool. The profile is low and sleek with those little driving lights and hidden headlamps giving a slight touch of techno-menace. And if the looks don't convince, just check the spec. V8 (big one), leather, and enough tech to keep a MIG pilot happy- even if it never ran, I'd park one in my drive just to look at. Cool.

kidesprit 04-21-2006 01:18 PM

A spectacular design. I love it. Subzero. 0X

formulastig 03-05-2008 08:45 PM

Serious turd. Sucked from the day it rolled off the flatbed. The only thing cool about it is the pictures.

enzoferrari 03-05-2008 10:11 PM

seriously uncool ,dont like it!

liveaxle 10-20-2009 08:33 PM

Wow, the votes for this are almost evenly distributed over all alternatives! Nobody seem to be indifferent to this.
Yes, it's unreliable, not sufficiently tested (it's not a good idea to let the customers do the testing), but come on, it was a brave try! The styling is spectacular. We like the engine. People will not think you are a cock when they see you in one. It has to be a cool-vote!
Besides, I dare you to come up with an Aston Martin that is uncool!
There aren't any?
Thought so!

Aston Martin V8 Zagato Volante. It epitomizes the decade from which it hails, but not what it is to be an Aston Martin or a Zagato.

Okay, I admit, the AM Zagato is probably less cool than other AMs, since it has not aged as well as most AMs, but still cool in a way.
Zagato is a "hit or miss" company. Their designs are either brilliant or ugly, but never bland. They are an acquired taste. They never play safe. Letting Zagato design your car can make it the most beautiful car in the world, or the ugliest.
In this case, the AM is just clay with which Zagato could play.
