Just got an e-mail with a link to this car...and well I love the front end but the rear end could use a redesign.

WarWagon · 03-11-2004, 04:50 PM

Love the front end, but an Aston Martin hatchback? Ugh, why? I personally think thats one of the worst lines on a car I've ever seen.

Ya like I said they fucked the ass end up!

CrazySaturn · 03-11-2004, 04:51 PM

I love it, and the idea of a Aston hatchback is pretty badass. However, I think it could look a lot better in the rear.

Halx · 03-11-2004, 05:09 PM

When I look at the front, the first 'name' that comes to mind is 'Jack'

anyone else think this car has a 'Jack' personality?

03-11-2004, 10:08 PM

that is truely beautifull.

Stare At The Sun · 03-11-2004, 10:12 PM

I can't believe Aston Martin fucked up that badly. I mean, sure, i'd still drive it, but i don't like it much at all. That rear end is just gawd awful.

Peryn · 03-11-2004, 10:44 PM

the front half could make for an awesome sport coupe, a few changes and maybe even a fun little drop-top. But a hatchback? Nuh uh. not gonna work. Hate the lines on the back half. Also, those tires look like they need a little more sidewall imo.

Tech · 03-11-2004, 10:46 PM

interesting... i don't think it's that bad, but Bertone has always been on the edge of styling... it's never been for everyone

Rippley · 03-12-2004, 04:59 AM

I like it, but it looks like someone stretched an alfa 147...ya know?

And here I was expecting the punch line to be "and I look at the back end and I think shit".

castex · 03-12-2004, 05:13 AM

What fun!

Super Model · 03-12-2004, 05:19 AM

I think it reminds me of an Audi A3. Makes no sence in making this car... entry level rich guy/gal stuff, cute but worthless. Would rather make some more money and get the real thing vs ecomony class.

LOL I have seen cars come off the lot with less sidewall then that cars tires!

twilightfoix · 03-13-2004, 12:29 PM

What the hell, looks like it was designed by two different people, one did the front and one did the back.

In Germany and Europe there are so many A3s and A2s. And I didn't see a single ricer... not 1.

Interesting ride. I think it's like the Z3 Coupe. A rare specialty vehicle that eats other cars for lunch.

krwlz · 03-13-2004, 05:58 PM

I almost like the hatchback look, but someone fucked up the ass end for sure. While I like the look however, I dont think the hatchback works for this car... they need to be sleeker looking. Lower front end, not so blunt up front. Take a teardrop, and turn it sideways... thats the hatchback look.

Hatchback Aston Martin makes Baby Jesus cry.

I was gonna say something to that effect, but you said it much better than I ever could. I'll give that a hearty AMEN!

JusticeForPhat · 03-15-2004, 08:53 PM

the "big ass" style is supposedly huge in Europe right now, which means give it a couple years and it will make its way over here. Renault and Peugeot have had some pretty cool looking concepts with the huge ass that are kinda neat looking.

Sion · 03-16-2004, 10:06 AM

referring to the first picture only, I gotta say, I see nothing wrong with that rear end.

as for the car...

joshibahn · 03-16-2004, 10:06 AM

Thats is exactly the car that came to mind....The M-Coupe in it's last configuration (315 HP) was and is one of the best handling cars ever built, I hope and pray thet they make a Z4 Coupe with the 315hp motor, watch out!!!

theblackmax455 · 03-16-2004, 02:37 PM

Wow, that rear end is hideous to say the least............dont mind the rest of the c ar, although I don't see a point for Aston Martin to produce it........

Scorps · 03-17-2004, 09:12 AM

It doesn't really look like the back end opens up....which wouldn't make it a hatchback

JohnnyRoyale · 03-17-2004, 03:25 PM

Beautiful machine, but hopefully, someday, some designer is gonna realize it's not ALWAYS about the rear aerodynamics.

Qazwsxedc · 03-18-2004, 11:18 AM

holy crap, i'm LOVING the look of the car. The front looks very nicely designed, beautiful sleek side profile, and i'm even digging that unique looking back.

Esoteric · 03-18-2004, 02:30 PM

The front is nice as hell, but the back end is horrid.

wrongfullyaccuzd · 03-22-2004, 02:59 PM

I'm sure it's great to drive and all, but it gets an F for looks.

bundy · 03-27-2004, 11:44 PM

wow.
i think that looks frigging GREAT!!!

so i take it that Bertone is a car designer... (i think there is a Bertone designed Astra convertable here).

i'd definitely save up to buy that one.
