Saw one today, not their finest design.
It was in this color.74668

the proportions seemed odd.

Looks like what a design student drop out would have come up with crossing a Tesla X with a DB7... Yikes!

I believe there’s a recent Harry’s Garage review of this on YouTube. IIRC he quite liked it.

Most reviews have been very positive, although I agree it's not quite right, aesthetically

Not the ugliest attempt out there, but does look like they've just cut and shut the front from an '07 vantage and the rear of the new one..... I suppose it is unmistakably Aston though.

Like when porsche done the cayenne, just put a boxer on stilts. Hidious.

Honestly, when you see one, it just looks all wrong.....mirrors on stalks, Gouppy mouth with a couple of holes either side, flanked rears.......kinda looks like they’ve raided the parts bin.

Which they probably have.

Wtf does it need a rear and sill spoiler? And why does it look like the front wheel is larger than the rears........cos it’s that bad it creates an optical illusion.

Maybe you could order it in the camouflage wrap that it had on it at Bicester Heritage earlier in the year - looked ok in that :)

Oh, I quite like it, but it's massive. Bigger than a Range Rover. This thing is competing with that seriously ugly mofo the Bentley Bent Aga thing. I'm not really the target market, but if I was forced to have one on my drive I'd possibly edge towards taking the Aston.

FC, you’d have this on your drive because it would make you look like a supermodel compared to the car getting in to it.

I like it from most angles. I think it is a bit colour sensitive and looks better in darker colours. If I wanted a high performance SUV, I’d have it over a Bentayga, Urarse or Cayenne, and it has a much better interior than the Levante Trofeo IMHO

I think the interior looks ok too.....lots of leather.

I’m sure it looks fine just like the Lambo one does but I’d prefer an SVR RRS and a 718 Boxster S combined for the same dosh.

The Lambo is a beast. Gorgeous inside, goes and handles like stink, but the rear headroom is utter bollox. Kids over 10 years old? Forget it. Which makes the thing a waste of time unless you're a YouTubist or just want a Lambo for winter and forgot that you could buy the same thing with an Audi badge for half the price.

It’s a pig. I still don’t get why we have fallen head over heels for yet another American fad. By its very nature it’s totally compromised; too big to do anything meaningful off road, especially with road tyres, and too big to do anything meaningful on road. I could see a point for the original Range Rover but that is no longer a utility vehicle and all these other monstrosities it has spawned are just willy wavers in a “who can p!ss highest up the wall” competition. It’s a load of bolloxcs.

Not something I would buy even though I have a powerful RR. I like the fact that the RR can still do everything it should do, mud plug, tow, carry loads etc. even if it doesn't that often these days

I saw one on the road a couple of weeks ago. I remember thinking that it made a Panamera look good.

Pigs, if you feel offended by this I’m sure their is a hotline number for you to call for solace.
