For a very similar look get a Jag XK.

I've never been much of a fan of Lambo's or their styling, but to my eyes the Gallardo is the most exciting/best looking current car without going completely over the top.
The newer astons 2005 DB9 and 2006 AM V8 Vantage and 2008 DBS ownwards do have a certain resemblance. I agree, but thats like saying to a layman the 3, 5, 7 series all looks the same except for size. Or the Mercedes C, E, S class? I mean I understand where your coming from, but all 3 of those astons built for different purposes just like the bimmers and mercs lineup!

However, the astons of yester years prior to the Model years mentioned, dont look close to the current designs. IMO Aston Martin is the most sought out and prestigious name after Ferrari!
