Production Lagonda may not be a crossover after all?
Aston Martin Lagonda Concept – Click above for high-res gallery
When Aston Martin took the veil off its Lagonda concept last month in Geneva, some were surprised to find a crossover-utility vehicle sitting in front of them. So you might be forgiven for assuming that when the reborn Lagonda eventually comes to market, it would take the same form. Especially since reports have already surfaced on the platform it will use. But according to new reports, the serial Lagonda will be anything but.
With the production model not expected to hit the market until 2012, Aston's got enough time on its hands to start over, which may not be such a bad idea considering the decidedly chilly reception the crossover concept was treated to at its Geneva Motor Show debut. A second concept Lagonda is tipped to be in the works, likely in sedan form, so stay tuned.

This'd better not be one of those Taurus and Taurus X things...

So it's not a crossover, it's not pretty either. I'm glad they got the message when they paraded this thing out that it was DOA.
They'll probably come up with something much nicer next time. I'm almost sure of it.

Our only hope is that this thing will go down to the the bottom of the ocean with a cruise ship, a' la the Chrysler Ghia Norseman on the Andrea Doria.
Of course the Chrysler Ghia Norseman was actually a good-looking car.
