You can see with the design how far way different it is from other cars. It looks hot.

I do agree that it looks elegant. It's color improved the elegance of the car.

Sounds like a Japanese name at first, but that is one good looking Aston Martin model. It deviates from the traditional design of the DB series.

For a person to spend 2 million for a super car, you must be really rich. Lucky is the person who has it.

It would be a dream come true to have a car like this. I wouldn't mind getting a loan to have this but I'm afraid I won't be able to pay back.
