Sheep in Wolfs clothing

If I was to ask you what this is ( <- ), you would be forgiven for saying an "Aston Martin"? In fact it's the new Languna Coupe!

It's a turn up for the books for the French to admit that British design is good, not only good but good enough to copy.

I'm a long term fan of Aston Martin and this car leaves me with...i dunno, a bitter taste in my mouth i suppose. I think it's because it cheapens the Aston Martin a little with a lazy design that has borrowed the rear from the V8 and then stuck it to a dull, boring nose. I've not read any reviews regarding it's driving ability as yet but I'm fairly confident that it'll be as lack-luster as the design.

The Laguna's biggest problem however is the V8 Vantage and the fact that it isn't one. I saw a V8 Vantage today and it is of such great quality (and noise) that buying a Languna will be like buying a Parda Bag rather than the Prada one!

As you may have guessed - not one for me!
