In the run up the the Geneva Motor Show in March, carmakers are releasing a whole slew of cars and concepts to tantalise our tastebuds.

 

Aston Martin pulled off a bit of a surprise by unveiling the Virage this week, but after the shock died down, some of us ended up more confused than excited.

 

I mean, look at it. It looks exactly the same as every other Aston Martin currently on sale.

 

Aston Martin says that the Virage slots in between the DB9 and the DBS, but the question is, why? Those two are already very similar to each other as it is. I'll be very thankful if anyone can point out any styling differences between those three cars, because I sure as hell can't.

 

Then there's the Vantage, which is the same design but smaller, and the Rapide, also the same design but with two more doors.

 

Aston Martin's styling direction is now bordering on the bizarre. How long can they keep churning out cars that basically look the same? Sooner or later buyers will just get confused and forget about them.

basically Aston has only one architecture (VH) and they're trying to squeeze as much as possible out of it. I'm surprised too that basically everything is the same, even the interior! I guess the Middle Eastern backers don't want to put too much capex into this low volume manufacturer?

  • Manchester United's "promising" transfer window should be taken with a pinch of salt

    Having followed this club for more than 20 years, I'm well aware that a promising transfer window does not directly equate to an improved season. Forwards Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, as well as Diego Leon, the young Paraguayan wing-back, have been Manchester United's signings for the 2025 summer transfer window so far. On paper, this team should have no problem challenging for silverware. On the pitch, the current crop of players finished 15th last season. While both Cunha and Mbeumo ha

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 9)

    You know when you go to a mamak shop or Good Price and see those brightly coloured plastic toy 'instruments' that you would buy for kids to bang away on? Well, someone (Japanese, of course) had the idea to basically turn that into an actual musical instrument.  I present you: The Otamatone.  The Otamatone originated in Japan in 1998, thanks to the creative minds at CUBE Works and Maywa Denki. This playful music instrument boasts a quirky, note-inspired design that has captured the imag

    Musings about the Pomodoro Method

    In a hyper-connected mega-city, where time seems to tick at a relentlessly brisk pace and where distractions are aplenty, pondering the art of productivity and focus is inevitable. In fact, it’s almost become a necessity. No wonder so many listicles have been written to point us in the right directions. Different methods works for different folks, of course, and when I was in my final year of university, I was introduced to a method that I regularly return to still: The Pomodoro Method, a d

    Singapore’s ultimate NDP song?

    As my JC classmates suddenly made plans this year to have an NDP watch-party (this is likely our first in the 12 years we’ve known each other), I found myself falling into a state of nostalgia again: This time, thinking about how NDP songs have evolved over the years. It’s not a stretch to say that each NDP song - from the inception of the idea of an NDP song back in 1984 - has woven itself somewhat into the fabric of our collective memories. Whether you were singing along loudly in primary
