Not as pretty in person as you’d think. I mean it’s an Aston so it’s still pants-tighteningly gorgeous, but it’s a foot longer than a DB9 but only two inches wider so it’s very oddly proportioned, like one of those super-tall, super-skinny runway models. Definitely beautiful but just a bit off-looking.

A company who makes beautiful coupes, designed a sedan that has odd proportions? Where have we seen this before?

Then there’s this, which they refuse to build for some reason.

It parks all the time in the back docks of the Harrison Dorm.

As soon as I saw the backseat of one of these in person, I immediately dismissed it as an option I’d every consider if/when I make my millions. Calling this a sedan is a joke. It’s a coupe with some rear doors so you don’t have to fold the front seat down to get in.

Just get a Db9.

Yeah I was surprised at how small it was too. I don’t know where the extra 12 inches went but it definitely wasn’t rear legroom.
