Not knowing anything about it and not having seen it prior to this thread, the look itself doesnt scream extravagant to me. Rather it just reminds me of a Buick. Which isnt good. But perhaps it has some history or sensibility that escapes me.

It looks very aggressive in person. For reference, I believe it cost $140,000 in the '80s; the best part of it is that it used outdated '70s computer technology with stuff like cathode ray tubes and other anachronistic digital devices inside.

I don't think Bertone did this; it was penned by the British designer, William Towns, and featured an array of then cutting-edge technology like LED lights, which proved unreliable so they were replaced by also unreliable cathode ray tubes.

Before his adoptive parents died and left the business to him, now newspaper publisher (San Diego Union) used to drive his Lagonda to the office in La Jolla on alternate days in the early 1980s. When he wasn't driving the Lagonda, he was in his Aston Martin Vantage Volante convertible. Unless, of course, he was being chauffeured.

Those years were not the greatest for anachronistic Aston Martin Lagonda. This was long before Ford purchased the company. Newport Pagnell was very much a corky, musty post WWII backwater.

Reminds me of the 3rd generation Quattroporte.Originally Posted by greg_atlanta

That's another favorite of mine. I'd like to get one as I feel it offers a practical alternative to something like the Lagonda or Citroen SM.
