Should I have Bought a Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake?

The Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake is quite possibly the ultimate 'wagon' and when it was launched I considered buying one, but did I miss out by not doing so? Join me at Aston Martin Newport Beach to discover the unusual estate car and explain a little more.
The Shooting Brake came in as the 4th variation on the Zagato Vanquish platform following the Coupe, Volante and Speedster, and the time it was shown to prospective customers I owned both my Vanquish Volante and Ferrari FF, hence prompting some consideration to making the purchase as the ultimate support car to the soon inbound McLaren Senna and Ford GT. However, with the values of the latter two, it was impossible for me to justify the addition of a car as expensive as this as well as the others.
To the present day then, under beautifully sunny skis in the OC, California, and car #15 out of the 99 Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brakes. Let's take a good look around the car including the electrochromic roof, V12 in the engine bay, and the unusual rear luggage compartment. Then it's time to head out onto the roads to soak up some of the exhaust sound and get a feel for the car in all its glory.
A big thanks goes to Aston Martin Newport Beach for the opportunity, the number 1 Aston Martin dealer in the USA. If you're curious to see more of the unusual cars available and as they arrive, do give a follow at:

When it launched, I considered adding the unbelievably cool Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake to my garage as the ultimate support car for the Ford GT and Senna. Join me then at Aston Martin Newport Beach for my first drive to discover the car that's limited to just 99 units and carries a $1m price tag to see what it's actually like and whether it was a mistake to pass on the chance.

[@mattgordonn]

Shmee150 it’s an amazing car!

[@jspidertts7174]

Shmee150 you must be excited Shmee!

[@mattgordonn]

Shmee150 I’m sure there will be more, just as amazing cars in the future! I don’t think your decision was wrong.

[@Doesntmatterreally]

It's a good looking car but for a shooting brake the there's no room on the inside. Plus the price is crazy expensive

[@danielmoore7934]

If/when the time comes that you can afford it then you should defo get one.

[@bane8895]

The shooting brake is a beautiful looking car...but like all Astons, the interior doesn't quite live up to the exterior.

[@stevehines2003]

Ben Mackay this car is pre-Mercedes partnership and based on the Vanquish S. The interior is pretty out dated

[@joshuuuuuu3299]

Yes,i agree

[@AleksanderHoff]

@@neb4587 Also, it isn't designed by Mercedes. Aston Martin us just borrowing bits and pieces from the outgoing Mercedes models, from their last generation models. So it is still an "old" car on the inside, even if it looks more modern than the one shown in this video.

[@AleksanderHoff]

@@neb4587 Nope. Aston Martin has just borrowed components and tech from Mercedes. Mercedes did not design the interior cabin though. Not at all. Also, as I stated, the components borrowed in the newer Aston cars are in fact from outgoing Mercedes models (same screens and tech as their old series cars from their last generation (not the new ones with the dual screen panels and tech).

[@AleksanderHoff]

@@neb4587 big difference. The made the screens, and the technology behind it.. but they didn't design the parts that it sits in and around it, as well as the rest of the interior (buttons, center console, seats, steering wheel etc. etc. etc.).

nice foreshadowing but you aren't fooling anyone we all know the video will come in 3weeks or so, I already I know the title "I just bought an Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake" with you in those wonderful shorts of yours crouching next to the car for the thumbnail.
