Screw it, I'm giving it Sub-Zero. It's a beautiful car. And it's quite fast, especially now that it has an 8 speed.
 
Astons used to be restrained, tasteful cars... then they started sticking the go faster **** on them.

They just look too over styled nowadays - far too fussy. The front bumper on the Vanquish is a complete abomination and the sills are far to heavy. Then there's that panel line in front of the rear wheel... a terrible bit of design.

Such a shame as the basic proportions are very, very nice. But Aston have got dragged in to chasing the new money & footballer crowd.

Uncool, boarding on SU.
 
Great styling and performance, but it's a bit shameful that this Aston only comes with an automatic transmission.

Cool.
 
Looks fussy in photos. In real life it's drop dead gorgeous. It's a true GT car with a naturally aspirated V12. Nothing but SZ for this one.

Qft.
 
As arguably overstyled as it may be, modern AMs remain some of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful, new cars on the road today. An easy decision; any modern AM (sans Cygnet) is an instant sub-zero.

Not the same as the original, but I'd have it over a DB9. Cool
 
Not as pretty as it's predecessor but still looks pretty. Although the rear lights could be better.

Every other traditional Aston stuff brings it up to a solid cool.
 
Modernized touches and edges sort of contrast against the signature smooth and sleek styling of Astons. And is the gearbox purely automatic? Or can it be controlled through paddles behind the wheel?

The paddles can be used. When left alone it'll shift itself like all ZF boxes usually do.
