Not The Vanquish, DB 9 or Vantage but I prefer The 4 door seater Rapide and The old school 1976 Lagonda luxury saloon.

Aston Martin Lagonda
The new Lagonda SUV is full of great stuff. Under the bonnet will be a V12 engine. The output of the engine is unknown for now but the SUV will be a true off roader. It also has American rappers favourite accessory, 22-inch wheels, and huge ground clearance.
Side design featuring 22-inch wheels
Inside the rhino are four leather seats that allow one to have the very best in ride comfort. They are huge, comfortable and very cuddly. I wonder if drivers will actually enjoy the car for its ride quality or for it seats.

Comfortable front seats

Above everyone in the car, is a panoramic roof, for the much needed sunlight and interior lighting. This makes you feel like you are in a convertible.

Unlike any other Aston in terms of design

The car comes with four-zone climate control and the very best in entertainment. At the back, there is enough boot space for all your shopping or outdoor camping equipment.

Spacious rear interior

Before you start cursing me for wasting your precious time, we need to get some facts straight. The Lagonda was to go in production early last year.

Thanks to the world economic crisis, which saw many car companies collapse, the company voted in favour of the Aston Martin Rapide, a four-seater version of the DB 9. Production of the Lagonda would have been a costly move. 

Classy rear lights and small rear windshield
The price could have been around Kshs 20 Million. With such a high price, Aston Martin would have bet on poor sales. I hope Aston Martin would consider this as a future project.  They should first work on a new design and keep all the good aspects of the Lagonda concept.

Recent news have confirmed that Aston Martin will finally put the Lagonda concept to full production. More details soon
