Basing it off the gearbox you put it as uncool. Bit harsh.

Alright, it's also lukewarm rehash of DB7. Better?
 
A beautiful, classy continent-crushing GT cruiser with that traditional Aston V12 music.

SZ
 
Probably the most charismatic modern Aston Martin.

Sub-Zero
 
As fussy as it is next to the original V12 Vanquish, it did bring a much needed touch of modern style to the GT range in the wake of the DBS tack-fest.

Cool.
 
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.
 
Love it, one of my favorite modern Astons.
 
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.
 
Far too chintzy.

Seriously Uncool
 
Not the prettiest Aston. Styling is a bit overdone.

Uncool.

Qft.
 
Aston. V12. SZ.
 
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.

Uncool. About as tacky as the DBS was which is not good.
 
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.
 
Gorgeous, but haunted by Die Another Day and too chintzy to be a proper Aston.
 
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.
 
When has an Aston not been SZ?

Ok, apart from the Cygnet.
 
I hear Aston Martin Vanquish, I think of the worst James Bond film, even if it's a completely different Vanquish.
