F-Type Still the Best Looking Car
Aston Martin just released pics of the Vanquish Zagato concept: looks like a cross between a Camaro and an F-Type. The F-Type retains a serious edge in the looks department. Let's hope they don't screw it up with the 18MY.

I spent quite a bit of time at my dealer early last year - who in addition to JLR also sells Aston Martin - walking many circles around both the Vantage and Vanquish they had in the showroom, then ten steps away the F-type... and the similarity in so many of the prominent lines was astoundingly uncanny.

To be fair, the Aston Martin and F-Type are something akin to "kissing cousins" as they share much of the same design heritage and even the same designer in Ian Callum.

It's probably worth noting that the entire design language of the current Aston range comes from the DB7 that came out in 1994. Ironically, that design (also from Ian Callum) was originally put forth by Jaguar as one of the original attempts at a F-Type that was derived from the XJS. Ford cancelled that car and moved the design over to Aston due to the fact that they desperately needed a new product...
So, the entire Aston design language is actually just a gift from Jaguar!

The two companies have certainly shared far too much common heritage for the similarities not to exist. While this has elements I don't like, the nod to the F-Type's haunches is interesting still to me. Its kind of like the two sisters, one who is a knockout and one that has a "butter face".

Aston Martin has the same British DNA - I'm sure any of us would be happy to have one.
A couple of Maseratis live in my town: Quattro portes and coupes. Next to the F-Type they are half-baked and unfinished. The F-Type is iconically classy and sexy. Maybe I'm prejudiced but....

I have a '12 Maser GT GranCabrio. To me, it's the only car that meets or exceeds the F-Type's looks. The MC Sportline GT's are even more stunning. The exhaust sounds are just incredible and to me, surpasses my R's in tone and quality.
