Aston Martin has a long history of side-hustle attempts at creating luxury sedans, and their first big shot at it started in the 1970s with the Aston Martin Lagonda limousine—an oddball sedan with more quirks than you could count.
Aston Martin seems to think that, largely, the business, sale and naming of electric cars is a confusing matter. So, it’s going about things a bit differently by possibly just creating a standalone electric brand for itself.
Engineered with technology that was way too far ahead of its time, it only seems fitting now that Aston Martin is examining its place in the automotive future with this, the new Aston Martin Lagonda Vision Concept.
It amazes me that some people, like, own Lagondas. Like that’s the car they choose to own and drive and presumably maintain.
Aston Martin has quite a few cars running up the hill this year at Goodwood, including their trippy art car and the amazing CC100 Speedster, this time with a blue grill. But which one would you take?
Some cars are maybe a bit too ambitious for their own good.
The original Aston Martin Lagonda was, to put it simply, a turd. So when I heard Aston Martin was bringing it back as an ultra limited-edition special model, I was skeptical. Then I saw these new pics of the production car. Now all I can do is drool.
The old Aston Martin Lagonda was an alien spacecraft of a car, more otherworldly in person than you can imagine. I didn't think I'd like the new Middle East-only version, but I think it's warping my brain.
One of the most infamous traits of the already pretty infamous Aston Martin Lagonda was its then-revolutionary CRT-based dashboard. Real computer raster displays on the dash, all the way back in 1986. These were incredibly unreliable, and were abandoned quickly, but I think they're fascinating.
This might not be the glorious reveal we were hoping for, but these are the first really real photos of the Aston Martin Lagonda, courtesy of a partnership between the automaker and Oman Air.
Aston Martin just released the first official pics of its reborn Lagonda, and if you live anywhere outside the Middle East, you're out of luck. Oh, and bring bags and bags of unmarked Dirhams.
This is the world's only Aston Martin Lagonda Coupe. It is a stunning car, and until thirty minutes ago I didn't know it existed.
Some cars predict technologies to come. Some cars predict styles to come. And then some cars just look like they came from the future.
The British are building SUVs. Autocar reports that not only are we getting an extended wheelbase Evoque LX in 2016 and a smaller production version of the Jaguar C-X17, Aston Martin is also planning to build a Lagonda SUV jointly developed with Mercedes-Benz.
So this great /drive video about the Aston Martin Works is, of course, full of all kinds of good stuff, but this one screengrab shown to me by fellow Jalop Maté really caught my eye. It's an Aston Martin Lagonda, and that's the inside of its trunk. With an extra set of taillights.
Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez told reporters at an Amsterdam event that the Lagonda concept which first debuted at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show is go for production. Sadly, he's still calling it an "SUV." Sad wagon-lovers are sad. [WCF]
The rare Aston Martin Lagondwagon is as long as 12 Cygnets and a million times cooler. But for $271K? Absolutely. If we had the money we'd buy one. (H/T to Bonhomme7h!) [ClassicDriver]
We're convinced BusinessWeek intentionally created its "Fifty Ugliest Cars of the Past 50 Years" list to offend Jalopnik reader sensibilities as much as possible. We've pulled out ten cars that simply have no place on this list. Two-minutes hate ahead.
This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition, where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the Island That Rust Forgot. What would you drive in Manhattan? Voodoojoo knows!
