About £130k with a few options so not cheap. The rear looks very aggressive and very well put together inside. 0-60 in about 3.5 seconds, so no slouch either.

I am absolutely no fan of this

The front lights look like after thoughts and the grille looks like a silly moustache

The bonnet section just looks wrong as well. Too much plain flatness. I thought exactly the same on a recent YouTube video

When the cover came off, there were a few shouts of “someone has sneaked in a MX5!”

for me, it's the front off an MX5 and the rear from a Renault laguna...disappointed as was keen to give it a go...

I actually thought it looked good in the flesh. The rear in particular looks really aggressive. I think it will sell pretty well, at least initially, although in the long term it’s tough competing with a 911 Turbo or GT3.

I’ve loved the elegance of Astons since I was a little kid. This is the opposite. Saw one up close on the Brussels Motorshow this weekend, did not like it at all. The new DB11 is handsome... this... meehhh...

I like the side and particularly the rear profiles but still cannot get used to the front.

I had spec'd one at the AM factory a few months ago but cancelled it in December when I got the confirmed GT3 slot given the 911 will I am sure be a more engaging drive.

Yes, the front does remind me (from the pic above) of Pixar's Lightning McQueen...
