I see an Italian styling nose....No TA would ever have an open nose like that. Open areas are for the Camaros. Smooth noses are for the Firebirds.

Re: 2012 T/A

i cant remember who, but someone on the boards has another photoshopped 5th gen bird as their avatar and it follows the suite of "retro muscle car" in the same way that the camaro and for that matter the dodge and ford too. I agree, if u popped the emblems off and through some aston martin ones on, itd look like a car james bond would drive

Just because you "can", doesn't mean you "should".

That is the most hideous 5th gen rendering of a bird I've seen.

Re: 2012 T/A

the aston martin, and other European cars like it have great lines and are designed really well IMO. the little pontiac badge is def out of place, the bottom open scoop looks like 1st gen camaro. I like the back of it.
