Can't Afford An Aston Martin?

[Mr. Oizo]

[ziad]

but every time u look at that car in the driveway/garage u would be thinking its not quite an Aston and not quite a skyline ;-)

[PIMP_DAT]

man that mx looks hot!

rest are uuuugly.

[mad082]

the very top photo looks like a aston crossed with a mini.

[Topaz]

MX5 has the best look, the others look like they have something icky in their mouth.

[lastlineofdefence]

got any blacker?

[ctjet]

Id buy the G35 no worries, I rekon it looks mean as hell

MX's will always be a chicks car....

[Wink]

I'd take the 350Z (just because it's convertible) and then the Skyline and then the MX5

Interesting to note that the Skyline is RHD (so it's a JDM V35) yet it has Infiniti badging.

haha hexactly what i thought, before i scrolled down

[Ronin 09]

that front 'aston' bumper sticks out like a pig's nose!

[Big Rizza]

For an Aston Martin lookalike, you can't go past Custom Automotive Restyling's AMX07 kit for Mazda MX5. See http://www.amx07.com/

love the bonnet

[NO_RSPECT]

i reckon the G35 pictured....should have the bumper with a slightly higher angle so it mates better with the bonnet line...

from the side it looks as if there is a dip where they meet.. i can also see there is like a mini vent/grill/hole there for getting to the bonnet latch.. that should have been shaped to meet the bonnet better..

thats all...

not like i could do it

[thrtytwo]

i rekon the new mx5 that is in this thread looks better. front bar is wayyy nicer

[Count Grantleyish]

This V35 or G35 looks quite nice.

Why would anybody bother???

There is only one Aston Martin worth owning in my books and that's a 1969/72 DBSV8.

Anything that can go from 0 to 100mph and back to 0 in about the same time as we can walk across the road will do me (13.8 secs)

A good one can be bought today for under $50,000.00 so compared to anything Nissan it represents good value.

Anyway, it is one of the last true Aston Martins, as Ford bought a controlling interest in about 1975. Just look at the current series, all are 5.0L not the 5.3L Quad Cam of these classics.

Cheers, D

Nice car, but there are other nice Aston's... V8 Vantage Le Mans? 600hp from twin supercharged V8, and it looks pretty mean...

And what about the DB5? Who wouldn't want to drive the difinitive Bond-mobile?

The 350Z Roadster is even uglier on the inside.

I like the MX5's kit. The two Nissans shouldn't have been butchered like that.

Cant afford an Aston. Buy a 911

[DanR33]

Almost as bad as when people use to put mercedes front grills on geminis.

Or the whole evoIII body kit phase of the late 90s. No your excel is not an EVO!

The only decent one of these kits ive ever seen that makes a car something its not is an mx5 converted to hardtop and made to look like the very first rotor - 110s cosmo (had a big 10A in it).

original looked like this:
