While the concept of an open top car rules, the open top bit seems to have been placed on a really lovely Aston body. Considering they design some of the prettiest cars around, this is a bit wank.

I've noticed the headlights on recent Astons looks like an afterthought, the ones on the Vantage almost look like decals from a NASCAR body. Just a kinda vague oval shape, whatever, it'll do... Contrast that to the back end which is super loving cool (Vantage, not this thing above).

kinda feels that way on the Masonry above, too... those headlights feel like a Pontiac G6 or maybe an FRS?

The problem is Marek Reichman ran out of Henrik Fisker designs to copy from / slightly iterate on.

I'm going to be smug forever when people finally realize the DB9 is the new DB5 in terms of retro timelessness and the DB11 looks stupid.

Hard agree there, the 9 is definitely the best looking modern Aston.

Bmw is just starved for the last bit of brand recognition with that grill. I mean they did away with every technical bit that makes a bmw long ago and you can only have so many variations of 4 round headlights in a row before you have to wonder what the hell you are paying your designers for.

I think the brand reached its peak with the E46 and just visually degraded ever since. Everything from E30 to E90 is pleasant to look at but afterwards it just goes down hill.

Even the M2 competition that I adore for it's drivetrain and actually having a proper engine again I can't help but think I would prefer in the chassis of a significantly older bmw.

Isn't the entire point of buying a Cullinan to be even more obnoxious and insufferable than a regular RR owner?

If so it seems like the fine people at Mansory are doing a bang up job at catering to their customer base

I only know one person (2 degrees of separation) that owns a Cullinan and he is very much the type to sit there and rev the engine at a light just to see people look over

I agree from a styling standpoint. I don't even really care for the E90 styling - too... droopy.
The more I look at that grill on the EV, the more I see a giant butt-print.

It's not a grille, it's an intelligence panel.
Seriously, that's what they're calling it, since it contains sensors.
