Thanks a lot for all the pictures! The car is looking good!
|
Awesome machine as well as your pics! You´re right, the yellow color fits the car excellently. Thanks stmoritzer

Beatiful car, but i have to say I think the colour is absolutely disgusting. Astons shouldn't have to shout to command attention, and AM should not have to sink to such levels to attention seek in a motor show.
On a lighter note - nice pics 8) |

there are 3 possibilities to get attention: 1. build a huge, fancy, whatever stand 2. choose an unusual color 3. load the stand with sexy girls ( which most of us would have preferred) AM took #2 |
awsome pictures
personally i love the color. is so bright. and fit this baby aston martin very well |

I just think that with a brand like Aston Martin, and with a car as important as this, they didn't need to do a special colour or any other drastic promotion at the motor show. I think the car should just speak for itself, especially as everybody knew it was coming, and most ppl couldn't wait to see what it could do even before the official press launch! |
Great set of pics and lovely sounding vid. It's always nice to attend a Première. I've seen the car in yellow, dark green/grey, and silver grey/blue. And I agree with astonmartinandy. It doesn't look good in flashy yellow. I like the dark green/grey the most.
I think a bordeau red one or a really dark blue one would be a nice, but unusual, colour for the new V8 vantage. |

On one side, I agree with you : AM dosn't have to proove themselve, the brand is cool enough and well known on the other side, they have to "fight" against a Gallardo, a 911TT, ... and in the coverage of the Geneva Salon, i.e. on the front page of the official magazine/guide, the AM V8 was in the middle of the page (largest pics off all).... and everybody saw pics of the 3 white/pearl colored Lambos, but the 911 ? maybe the V8 wouldn't have been on the cover, if the color was darkgreen... |

So you are correct - in order to sell more programs or get more visitors to the show (which as we know are NOT the primary market for the car) you need flashy and garish colours.. :P Except for a premiere event to brag about who had already pre-ordered a million dollar car and then hopefully shame another uber-wealthy customer into ordering a car because "so and so" did, I doubt any luxury/exotic was ever sold to a casual show goer.. ;) I mean, does anyone really believe some wealthy punter was just walking around and suddenly stumbled on the Maybach display and said "Wow - I want that yellow limo instead of the Benz 5 rows back" ;) Or more unbelieveable, a bloke sees the cover of a Show Program and yelps for glee at the Bright Orange Rolls that commands center stage on the cover ;) Let's face it - the shows are just for the unwashed masses to see what the Stinking Rich are going to be flaunting next season... ;) heheh Nice pictures by the way - but AM needed have gone this route to impress the uneducated masses ;) |

I think, the PR rules are the same also in the luxury section , the car getting most attraction and/or feedback in (the right) magazines are "in", and suddenly it's a "must have" ... imaging one guy is going to buy a Gallardo in a bright color (orange or yellow) and then he has the opportunity to be the first with a yellow V8 ... he'll go for the V8 (because yellow Gallardos are everywhere) To be the first / or only guy having a certain car is for sure a big issue for these customers. The need to have a different car than the colleque from the golf club. :wink: In my oppinion, AM could get younger customers with that strategy, but to be honest I doubt they will show more cars in yellow at the cardealers. |
very nics pics, I think you have posted some of these pics b4, but it is nice to see the whole set.
|
Thanks for these nice pics.
I will see it on the IAA next week since they have a german boss they make better cars then the old ones. They were also good, but the new ones look better. |
