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

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. :bonk:

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

merlin2111 08-11-2012 03:44 PM

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 :lol:

Draco-REX 08-13-2012 10:22 AM

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.

Hanzo 08-16-2012 08:51 AM

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

tomato86 08-16-2012 10:15 AM

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.

termigni 08-22-2012 03:22 PM

one looks a lot more expensive.

SUB-FT86 08-22-2012 04:31 PM

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

jadewbj 08-23-2012 10:47 AM

You really have to admire how the car looks so similar in lines to so many beautiful cars without looking like a cheap knockoff.

Aston Martin, manufacturer of the most beautiful cars in the world.
Someday she will be mine. Oh yes, she will be mine.

But I'd settle for the BRZ or FRS for now.

M-17 08-23-2012 04:50 PM

@Hanzo, leave it to you to never fail at posting great comparison pics with your BRZ.

You think there will ever be a chance to get a Porsche Carrera GT in the mix?

Turbowned 08-23-2012 05:06 PM

Mmmm, Aston.... *droool*

Would anyone hate on me if I got a BRZ and painted the grille with metallic silver/chrome paint?

I feel the same way. Just stunning looking cars.

S2kphile 08-24-2012 12:08 AM

I can honestly say that the BRZ, IMO looks more aesthetically pleasing then the Vantage.

It's no Vanquish, that's for sure.

ducatichick 12-20-2012 05:04 PM

Was just noticing yesterday that the BRZ looks quite similar, then here's this thread.

I think the Vantage's fender vents are real, but do they serve an actual purpose?

Umbie 12-21-2012 04:35 PM

One would think the Aston would make the Subie appear cheap, but I bet the average non-car-enthusiast would think these cars are in the same price class. Great pics, thanks for sharing!

TRD_86 12-21-2012 05:10 PM

Nice pics.
Btw, if I park my pearl white 86 there, the 86 have way better design and look than that aston for sure ! Just love the trim and curve of the 86 "LFA" front and rear side fender :)

glorydays 12-24-2012 02:27 PM

The Aston is beautiful but I don't think the BRZ looks out of place. Nice pics.

BRZnut 12-24-2012 04:02 PM

which one is the BRZ? LOL. Great pics

jesseps 12-24-2012 05:16 PM

Great picture. Next step for all of us, is an Aston Martin :p

DarkSunrise 12-26-2012 11:38 AM

I was watching Casino Royale yesterday, loved the DBS. I know Aston Martin's aren't the fastest or sportiest cars in their price range, but I'd love to add one to my garage as a DD one day.
