Am I the only one that has major problems with this car??

You do realize that with your name, no one will take you seriously, right?
It may not be as beautiful as the Aston coupes, but this thing still makes the Panamera look like a flounder.

Yes. This thing blows the doors off just about any other high end luxury sedan looks wise, including the Maserati Quattroporte.
In addition, Aston will probably make a killing off this thing, allowing them to improve their other products. To me at least, making a four door sedan is less untrue to its performance heritage than Porsche's money maker--the ugly and ungainly Cayenne.

No! I share your problem that I can't afford to buy one...

Ok my name is just to describe what I'm writing about.. So get whatever personal problems you have out of the way. I'm talking about this car.
Its the overall shape of the car that is bothersome. Aston is just stretching the shape of their already existing cars which creates an unusual shaped mid section. The Fisker Karma doesn't have this problem.
As an automotive designer, I see problems with this cars aesthetic and thats all I'm trying to say. I don't doubt that this car will sell like hot cakes but it doesn't change the fact that its not up to the level I expected from Aston.
I wonder if Henry Fisker had anything to do with this design or not.
