I was jesting on the white, it does suit the Aston, just keeping it clean will be fun.

See I've always found white cars much easier to keep clean than black cars.

I genuinely did think it was an F Pace as I scrolled past without looking in much detail. I'm sure it ticks a lot of boxes but good looks certainly isn't one of them, going by the photos.

I agree @NathWraith , dust and water spots show up a lot more on black cars. But when black is clean and shiny it looks amazing - for 5 minutes!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Same, the fist pic makes it look like a Ford Kuga!

Rear is fugly. Nice interior though.

Whether it's the angle, I can't tell, but the first pic had me thinking it was a Ford too. Lovely car though.

It looks fantastic to me.

Very nice indeed @NathWraith, probably the car I’d change my Cayenne for if I had a lot more money

One hell of an upgrade over a C class estate!

This.

Id never owned a white car until the Yaris and was shocked to find it stays looking clean far better than ever expected.

The rumours about black cars are very true,
Forever dirty!

Until winter

The thing is, I find a white car is easier to keep clean, but less satisfying when you do. I spent Friday afternoon giving mine a good polish and wax coat ready for winter, and whilst it looked good, I really want a darker coloured car next time. Not black, but something which at least has some depth and reflection.

White cars hide dents and scratches a lot better but rust sticks out like a sore thumb. At the other end of the spectrum.

Of course you did.

I honestly did, and as did a few others as it turns out!

If you thought I was having some kind of poke, you are wrong, I thought for a second when scrolling down it was some Ford SUV, but the word Ford at the time escaped me so I put Mondeo.

Nice car, but really, it looks like a Ford at a glance to me.

adam cool dude · 17 Oct 2021 at 16:58

It is more like Ford's look like Aston's really as they stole their design when they owned them.

Yup, I made the comment about their design 8 years ago.

But the mere fact that Ford sell a lot more cars so the image when seeing that similar design pops up, the mind goes to Ford now, not Aston. For me anyway, and evidently a few other people too.

Whether it looks like a Ford or not given the choice you’d not want the Ford lol.

Great choice Nath, seen a few in flesh now and they have real presence.

of course and that’s a different question.

S2000 came out today, dry day was good to get it out. Hardtop on for the winter to clear some space in the garage.

This aha.

Thanks, you’d be very surprised at how capable they are handling wise. Totally in love with it, feels so special just to drive around in.
