Here it is - thoughts?

Like it a lot. A more aggressive looking Vanquish, just as a DBS is to the DB9.

Dont like the revised rear bumper around the tail pipe area.

Other than that, I freaken love it. If it weren't for the fact that its outdated vs. the DB11, I would get this over a DB11 (if I had that kind of money)

I mostly like it. There is one shot in the gallery, taken from directly behind the car on the road that is bothersome to me. It think the lower half of the car, that includes the diffuser and pipes, is just a bit too busy for my likes. Otherise I love the looks. They need to offer a manual transmission. I guess the DCT auto manual will come in the next gen. But I will never buy another sports car without three pedals.

Prefer the regular Vanquish. Agree ^^ that rear bumper/tailpipe area in particular is a fail. What's with the ugly colour schemes and accents? Aston seems to be trying too hard to be cool or trendy. Message to Aston Board of Directors: Aston is all about restrained elegance and subdued aggression - stop with the bling! Maybe Ian Callum needs to come back and knock some sense into the styling dept.

I absolutely love it. By far the best looking of all the Astons in my opinion.

I'll let depreciation hit then see if I can find one. I'm sure other colors will be ordered but based on their schemes looks like onyx black will be the one for me.

Starting price for the Vanquish S seems quite high - I was told EUR 310-320k with a few options!

It appears that Vanquish S is a variant of the Vanquish line and will be right alongside the Coupe and Volante variants...just my opinion.

I will absolutely buy a coupe to keep next to my carbon white volante. I think it looks stunning but I agree on the excessive weird rear diffuser...but that front end and grille got me excited
