Hey, how did all these Lincoln MKZ photos get in there?!

Looks pretty good. Not sure about the grill, but the rest of the bodywork is quite nice. It harkens back to the original but drops the 1970s hard edges.

Probably not coming here because of Aston's difficulties in meeting current NA safety standards.

It won't even be sold in the UK. This is Middle East only.

It's a perfect design, IMHO - a worthy successor to the 1980’s version.

Kind of odd really.

Bastard lovechild of a Ford Fusion and Mazda6, then sent-off to boarding school where it finds out that the Mazda isn't actually the father, but the Fusion had an affair with a Dodge Charger and the Kodo chrome bit was glued onto its forehead before anyone else could notice that Mazda had nothing to do with it.

Just going to say....thats a really nice MKZ....as an Aston Martin....no, hell no....

[lebowski]

Gee, do you think they could have made the C-pillar any larger? That must make for some odd blind spots.

This makes me think: wouldn't the ultimate luxury power-move be for Aston to install cameras mounted at those big blind spots, and then project the corresponding image on screens on either interior blind spot side, like two additional, virtual rear windows? Aston, you listening??

Pshh, in the middle east you don't need to see out of your car - there's no traffic and sand dunes just go on for miles.

I've been through the desert in a car with no name...

The huge C-pillar causes not only a huge blind spot, it makes the car look hideous from the side views.  Can't they extend the bottom of the windows to match the slope of the rear windshield? Maybe the car would look better in lighter colours.

i have no issues with C pillar, but the car itself...   don't want it.

this car shows that Aston is now desperate.
they could have done what the maserati or porsche or even Tesla did and make reasonably priced super sedan that ISN'T a facking Rapide which looks like DB9(and what DOESN'T look like DB9 at Aston?)
do they have no desire to expand, ever?
