The two are such different cars and I suspect will priced dramatically different. Vanquish is name plate reserved for their tier regular production car. The intent behind buying one vs. the other is not semi-similar as it was with previous Vanquish models either. The new one is extreme by all measure. If you want that new Vanquish, you're not debating whether to get the DBS or Vantage instead.

I love the way they incorporate the strakes into the door lines, and also how the front splitter line comes up and goes on the door and then through the car just beautiful

davidm17 is infamous around these parts
Good to see somebody at Aston can still design a car with beautiful flowing lines. It'll cost well above what I can afford, but if it looks anything close to that it'll be a hit.

It is like a Tesla Model 3 and a McLaren had a baby. While I dont hate the looks, it is very un-Aston like and if I am going to buy a car that looks like that, I have several options while I bought my current Aston because it looks like an Aston.

What, about that car, looks either like a Tesla 3 or McLaren outside of them both having exhaust pipes (McLaren) and wheels (Tesla 3)...

Just the general shape of the low front, and bubble glass cabin. Not talking about specific features, just the big picture overall shape.

What I'm getting at is that you could say that about the Vanquish Vision and McLaren, or Ferrari, Lamborghini, or ___________ (insert mid-engined manufacturer here).

There's only so much you can do with packaging around an engine that sits behind the drivers seat.



You'll always get those general proportions, with a semi-bubble like greenhouse.

Ferraris and Lambos are more angular with "fussy" designs. Tesla and McLarens are more "simple" and hence my impression of the similaries to those two in particular.
