If you are still undecided on whether the new style of headlight suits the F Type, then look at this picture I took last night at an Aston Martin dealership.

Only my opinion but - WHAT HAVE THEY DONE!

All the designers are using the same CAD package?

I wonder if the F-Type had started life with slim headlights and then changed to the original design would we be saying "why have they made them so big?" ;)

Never mind the headlights, they've gone for the wiper arrangement from a Citroen Picasso!

Maybe they'll be calling it the Aston Martin Desire :D

i've always loved the previous gen vantage, but the latest one maybe better to drive but the front is truly awful. hence declining sales unfortunately.

This is exactly why I purchased a 2016 Vantage GT earlier this year, instead of considering a new Vantage.

It looks way too Mazda MX-5 Miata for my tastes.....
