Semitone is infamous around these parts
The only word that comes to mind for this car is "fugly" I don't care if it's a manual, I don't care if it is a V12. It's an eyesore. Looks like something a couple of budget hot-rodders threw together in their garage with spares parts and a welder for Friday night at the local drag strip. Car companies have updated the Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, Charger and a slew of other cars and I don't think any of them have been inspired by the Matador like Aston has. OK..so maybe I am being a little mean but it's clear they think their customers are idiots. I guess thats what happens when management come from a fashion background.

To say that the design is uninspiring would be a major understatement.

Nah, not a fan.
(IMHO- looks like ford mustang had a baby UI, there is nothing elegant about it) but I'm sure its gonna be sold out all 110 units. then in a few years time we'll see some on online auctions for half price......

Be awesome if someone comes out with a Valour inspired body kit for the Mustang or Camaro.

As much as he irks me, watch the full JWW video linked above. The still photos from AML are pretty bad. I think it cool.

I am digging the Valour, but I like them all.

It's not a One77 that's for sure, but it is a retro design exercise.
Maybe someday we'll get a retro design of the One77 to complain about

The Valour they showed at Goodwood today has a different front fender/wing and side strake. It's better than the one pictured so far.

EDIT: I was wrong. Just different angle and gloss black fins that blend better than the satin CF option. As I said before, I don't think the studio photos of the car do it many favors.

I like the Valour's styling better than the One77.

Interesting. I feel just the opposite. If I had to choose between them the One77 would win every day.

Fascinating since it's not even close for me. Loved the One 77, really liked the Victor, hate the Valour...at least in photos. Obviously, different strokes for different folks. BTW, finally got off my duff and checked out the v12, both volante and coupe, today. Much nicer in the flesh than in photos, IMO.
