Saw a Vantage the other day

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

I know they are different beasts entirely and around £100k apart in the UK but thought this was an interesting side profile comparison.

I have heard the new 4 to be likened to the Mustang, but I think the similarities (in side profile only) are more similar here - I'm not familiar with my AMs, but think this is the 2021 Vantage shape.

If money were no object, I'd take the Vantage every time of course. And in girth the AM is a better looking beast entirely!.

Anyway, thought it was interesting

Other than having two doors, I see zero resemblance.

Whoa, the two are completely different cars. The Vantage is very low and wide and looks way out of proportion in that photo. There is an Aston Martin dealer near home and I see one parked outside most days.

I think the OP needs an eye exam!

Both 2 doors, 4 wheels, 2 headlights.....lol

Not a very friendly place, this, is it?

Just joking around...but in my opinion very different cars.

THe small details like that window C pillar, but really, very little in common. Like comparing sausage and finger.

Ha - love that ... except I've had a couple of beers and just taken a bite out of my finger.

To be fair to the OP, the roofline is similar but it's hardly a "separated at birth" comparison

I see what you're saying Si. Quite a few coupes are resolving to this similar (very nice silhouette.
