Aston Martin builds the ugliest concept ever

Ugliest is a bold statement...but when it is coming from the guys who make some of the best looking cars in the business (even if they all do look alike)...it is quite hideous. I'll take a V12 Vantage please.
 
Trying to stretch a rigid design language into a SUV(sorry, SUV-lite crossover) is what went wrong. Look at the Cayenne, BMW X(well at least those 2 are arguably real SUVs) for proof. Jus because a CUV is based on a car platform doesn't mean the design has to be a car design stretched to fit over the CUV unibody.
 
It's not bad until you get to the front quarter panels. It's like they chopped off the nose and jammed a 70's front end on it. We'll never have to worry about James Bond driving that beast.
 
Looks like a 300 carved out of an eraser. Maybe Chrysler 300 fused to an Escalade, yet really cheap looking.

Shoulda stretched the roof back to make it a wagon. Then it'd be sexy.

EDIT: doesn't look half bad

Did you just stretch that in PS? Lol, actually doesn't look bad, but to me an SUV is an SUV. I prefer better gas mileage, but of course when I need to move or haul something I use my truck.

That is not a good thing.

Daewoo ruined quite a few names, besides the Legonza, they've also ruined LeMans(a classic Pontiac nameplate that died in shame with its tail between its legs after 33 years).

The only interesting cars they ever made are badge engineered copies of better cars

1994-2000 Daewoo Arcadia <-> 1990-1996 Acura Legend
2007-x Daewoo G2X <-> Saturn Sky Redline

Pretty much. Copied back half of the rear window and shoved it behind the door. Then grabbed the front half of the rear window and stretched. Only editing was distorting it to flow with the other lines. Kind of.

If they'd lower it a bit, it'd be a wagon and not a "suv crossover" with the disadvantages of a car (not enough space) and a suv (bad performance).
 
I could care less what it looks like, if they throw one of their V12's in it I'll still drive it. I'll be going too fast for anyone to see it's hideousness. 🙂
