I guess they wanted to copy the Scion and the Element but instead they made this huge retarded car that looks like a book

It doesn't look very eco-friendly...

I just can't get over the white roof.

Reminds me of the Volkswagen buses of the 60's. Just needs surf boards.

It better be amazingly aerodynamic or something, to look that bad.

Judging by the shoebox-esque shape, I wouldn't put money on aerodynamics though.

You mean the bailout money that Ford didn't take because they actually got their **** together enough to stay in business without government help?

I think the idea is that white roofs will reflect more heat and therefor require less electricity/gas to cool the inside down to a comfortable level.

Heh.. except its a twin turbo system, meaning one turbo for lower rpm range and one for higher --AKA no lag.

Also, that thing spanked a 7.3L V12 Pagani Zonda as seen on Top Gear:

XJ220 weight/hp = 1372 kg/542 hp
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_xj220

Pagani Zonda weight/hp = 1230 kg/594 hp
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagani_Zonda

V12 Vanquish weight/hp = 1835 kg/453 hp
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V12_Vanquish

V12 Vantage weight/hp = 1680 kg/510 hp
http://www.supercars.net/cars/4379.html

V12 Vanquish S weight/hp = 1875 kg/520 hp
http://www.supercars.net/cars/3005.html

So clearly, if it made quick work of the lightest and most powerful car of the group, your Aston Martins would be mincemeat. Now if we put any of those engines in say, JLee's car.. that would be fun :XD:

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Astons are not nice cars.. they are incredible, I would just rather have the lesser known/more rare/faster Jaguar.

On a side note, its funny that Astons pop up in a ford thread, up until 07' they were fords haha.

It's not all about speed, or horsepower to weight ratio. Astons have soul and style. It's sleek and stylish and understated.

(Plus the Zonda is ugly)

I'd still take the jag any day. You would be hard pressed to ever see an XJ220 on the road.

But, if I was going according to what your statement, I would rather buy a Rolls Royce.

Nope, Vauxhall is a Ford company.

The CTS-V is one nasty sport coupe. Top gear tested that too and they loved it.

Uh, no.

Vauxhall and Opel are both owned by that canadian company that bought them when GM went under. Magna?

Saturn on the other hand are one of those ****ty companies owned by GM.

nope.
