Cool, but too expensive. It'd be a bitchin' car for around the price of a 599, Murcielago, or even CGT/SLR.

I want to like it but... It's ugly. Those cuts below the headlights and the almost featureless rear end. I always think that a car has to have an effortless beauty or special design for it to be truly cool. This doesn't. It's as if they consciously designed it to differentiate it from the other models.

^I wouldn't say ugly, but I agree with the "effortless beauty" comment. They're trying to hard to do something "different" with this car.

Still, the naked carbon chassis looks awesome and 700 horsepower in an Aston has to be cool.

It was cool without the expensive pricetag....and since it has such a pricetag, pushes it to uncool under my count.
