Default Another Newbie question.

Ok, I'm a research buff so when I find something I like, I try and learn everything I can about it. I really like the newer vantage both engine models. Something about the profile and body style is just amazing to me. I just LOVE the way it almost has an hourglass shape from front to back, like a really nice lady. Well In my research of that car, I've been able to find pics from the introduction of the first model to current. My only real question is this: Aside from small changes over time, ie lights and change in company ownership, It doesn't look to me that the profile of this car has changed much since say 2005. Can anyone verify my thoughts? Has there been significant body changes or maybe there are some in store in the future? Again, just my curiosity running rampant.

Edit: I'm still a newb so I'm basically referring to the V8/V12 vantage from the early 2000's on. I realized after I had posted this Vantage has been a model name for ever and a day.

I doubt there were any significant body changes since the concept introduction in 2003 to the current 4.7/4.7S/6.0 models (spare the vents/front rear diffusers etc)...Callum and (partially) Fisker brought a different direction after the Virage V8 models, and then Reichman decided to stay conservative and keep the designs evolving slowly.
A replacement for the current Vantage coded as VH600 should be here in 2013-2014, will feature (mostly likely) slightly different design from what i have read, but more would go into lightening the chassis + engine enhancements.

Hope this answers everything

Yes, perfectly. Thank you. Sometimes it's nice to hear confirmation that I'm not going insane and seeing things! ha!
