Time will tell; it's not over yet. Just the other day, I heard two people in Starbucks talking about it. If it's gained enough momentum to be recognized by hipster Starbucks snobs, then it may yet have a chance.
I'm sorry, but if I'm going to buy a massive apartment on the water, I'd go something like this and fix it up:
"You just can't keep a good spaceship down"
Wow, another Aston Martin design plagued by gimmicky design cues that not only do little for the aesthetics, but do nothing for functionality, either. The open door frames? Really?

I see. I do believe I know which one it is, and I very much look forward to reading your review.

But to my eyes, it lacks a certain sensuousness and smoothness that keeps it a little short of being gorgeous. And honestly, I think that has to do with what a Lamborghini is; a…
