The Rapide gets bigger teeth

I passed the Aston Martin dealership this morning, as I always do, and noticed that they had a brand-new Rapide sitting up front. And this is what it looked like. Frankly, I haven't decided whether it's an improvement or not. I guess I like it.

Looks like they are making their grille taller and less shaped to differentiate from the competition at the Ford dealer.

That's way too big.

Yes, it was announced a while back. I hate it. In ways that you cannot possibly imagine. The pre-facelift car was one of the most beautiful cars around, bar none. And now, suddenly, it looks like a Cylon tried to fuck an eel.

This is the disgusting work of Marek Reichmann, for whom I have few compliments at this point in time. Ulrich Bez has lost quite a bit of respect, too, for actually signing off on things like this and the new Vanquish.

I'll stop angrily ranting now.

Smart move, making your product uglier in order to differentiate between a competitor.

To be fair, Reichman did design the first Rapide as well.

And while I may not like the one-77 or the Rapide refresh, the new Vanquish is a tasteful updating of the Callum DB shape.
