The front bumper is too busy, if its going to try to be a DB9R, at least make it functional like the DB9R.

I agree. Way too ugly, no class. So ricerish.
"Designwise it [1950 Jaguar XK120] has all the best elements of French and English design. The exterior is extremely feminine, a car you like to wash...like you're giving a bath to a beautiful woman because it has all the right curves, nothing angular."

I both love it and hate it. Love it because of a futuristic look, hate it because it is so unclassy and just doesn't belong on an Aston Martin. The hood looks nice, though.

:S it's not functional?

there's a world of difference between the first and second pic. in the second pic, the angle is such that the headlight washers are right infront of one of the blubs. it gives the opposite impression of those with lids that make cars look like they're glaring. makes it look happy or like a frog. looking at the first pic it looks very aggressive and menacing. i'd reposition those washers if i were them.. or add those sweet lights found on the v8 vantage to add a glaring look (although i don't promote sharing too many unique looks. makes the special ones that much less special)

The bumper is fully functional. The Aston design director Marek Reichman said "Everything is present for an engineering reason, nothing is extraneous. Our cars don't need unnecessary decoration." So there. And I think everything about this car looks incredible. Sexy as Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel having a bath together.

I love every inch of that car. Point taken, the bumper ir a bit flashy, but overall I think it's breathtakingly beautiful.

The bumper is slighty sportier then the DB9. Its not like it has "wings west" blastered on it. Get over it it's had a slight face lift, to call it "riced" is an insult.

I AGREE, THE FRONT BUMPER BREAKS UP THE NATURAL LINES OF THE CAR, BUT ASIDE FROM THAT I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CARS ASTOM MARTIN HAS PRODUCED.
