Fair enough, but this is still going to be a 4,000 lbs car. Not exactly a lightweight special, so who really cares if the body panels are carbon fiber or aluminum (especially if the aluminum would have been a significant cost savings)?

I guess maybe they were trying to keep the weight from being too embarrassing since the 12cilindri is going to be hundreds of pounds lighter (and I don't think the Ferrari even uses extensive carbon fiber).

 

You are literally called deckman and you don’t like the rear deck.

 

Ha ha ha

 

For myself, i'm not a big fan of the giant front grills. It's like AM is copying the GMC truck, Lexus (Datsun's) of the world.

 

I'm also not a huge fan of the large grilles.

In terms of the carbon fiber body, while yes they did it because it's lightweight, that's probably not the main reason (vs. aluminum). They did it because it makes the car more special and differentiates it from others.

 

I've only seen the car in photos so far and not in the flesh. It does nothing for me.

For me, it appears to be too big and bulky. I wasn't a fan of the retro Valiant or Valour muscle car look and Infelt they were a disappointement vis-a-vis the Victor as far as design goes. This just seems to be a bit of a mashup of those designs with the DB12. I definitely prefer the exterior of the DBS over this but already thought that car was a bit too big.

The interior is more coherent than the 2nd century cars but also more generic. The second century cars had some quirkiness in the vents and door handles that I found charming. This car, not so much.

Aethetically I would take the DB12 over the new Vanquish. The v12 is nice but not enough to offset the negatives. The new Vantage seems to be the sweet spot for me. I'm sure the new Vanquish will be a hit at cars and coffee but other than that it's not a blip on my radar. It's not something I would desire to own. Maybe I'll feel different when I see it in the flesh.
