Looks a bit like Fatima Blush's Renault from NSNA to be honest, which I don't mind at all.

New Bond car right there! :)
By the time the next Bond film is made there could be a electric powered Aston produced ?
DBE ?
Yes it's not ugly as you say but still it is only a very average looking car.
BMW's design philosophy atm is bizarre.
I genuinely think the Z4 looks cooler! Although if someone were giving me either I'll take the Aston as it'll probably be worth more :))
They've got to build it, it just looks stunning.
The front looks bland. Anyone like it ?
... say what you want, but I like it.
A swedish car magazine dared test drivers, who were familiar with the cars, to switch to a particular radio station or change the AC settings while driving at 110 km per hour. Modern electric vehicles were compared among each other and a 2005 Volvo V70 as a control. The result: The worst-performing car (a MG Marvel R) needs 1,400 meters to perform the same tasks for which the best-performing car only needs 300 meters - which was the old V70.

In Germany you get a ticket when you operate your mobile while driving, but car companies make tablet-sized touchscreens the rule, because they are cheaper and updatable, expecting drivers to maneuvre through endless levels of complexity. Tellingly, the BMW iX came second-last in the test.
There is yet hope for the return of physical switches to electric cars. Volkswagen is said to be reintroducing switches on the steering wheel and a big dial-style selector (similar to the established BMW iDrive controller) in the center console to easily control speaker volume or driving modi. Let's see how that goes.
It looks surprisingly good from every angle, maybe the rear lights are a bit generic (Citroen). The inside is rather functional, I would expect more from a "supercar".
Fact is, I don't need that kind of stuff. My 2016-model Jeep Grand Cherokee has some sort of voice control, but I still haven't bothered actually trying this out. Maybe because I don't trust the electronics anyway. But don't get me started on my "board computer" which is the element I like the least about the car. The best thing I can say is that it plays my music with a great sound, including a sub-woofer in the trunk. The rest is erratic and incomprehensible, and it especially does not store your previous settings.
I'm not sure if this applies to later models, but while I still like driving this car (until it breaks down, I suppose, and it won't happen too soon), this remains a definite nuisance.
Not the best looking Ferrari in recent times imo
