Aston's scared you'll hit his car when you open your passenger door....

Cool pics!

Interesting how each car handles the fender detail (grill, badge, whatever) differently. While the Aston's character line is more pronounced, the BRZ puts the accent higher pulling the line off it's bottom edge and running all the way back toward the hump over the rear arch.

I would prefer the Vantage with a lip, and without that seam on the front bumper. If the whole front clamshell flipped forward like an old XKE, it would be solved.

Gawd I love your comparo pics Hanzo! Keep up the good work!

I know I am biased but I honestly think the BRZ looks better. It looks more modern and aggressive without looking cheesy.

next time park next to that grand-am in the background so you can compare the wing

Aston Martin makes the best looking cars. Just gorgeous. It's interesting how many lines the two cars share. I wonder if the BRZ/FR-S takes some cues from the AM, or if it's a matter of what makes a coupe a coupe.

Either way, both cars look good. (But I have to give the nod to the Aston. *drool*)

I love it when beautiful cars are next to each other.

I wouldn't be surprise if Toyota designers use Aston/Maserati as bench mark for design.

Nice pics. I cringed when I found out about the Aston Martin Cygnet, which is *gasp* a Toyota!

That Joey's Hot Dog place must be the shiznit. It's like THE Hot Dog for fine automotive connoisseurs. They don't use that French's mustard either, only Grey Poupon for these highly discerning customers.

LOL I was thinking the same thing.

one looks a lot more expensive.

I have to still give it to the Aston here. The Aston is a 10 while the BRZ is a 9 in my opinion.
