Jony Ive's Aston Martin...

[Rogifan]

...has its own security guard to watch over it.

Sweet looking car, but $190K price tag is anything but.

 

[cerote]

He is on a buying spree. Great for him. He is very talented and should enjoy the spoils of it.

 

[cerote]

Wonder how much the guard makes or how he landed that job.

 

[Tower-Union]

I wonder if the guard gets the keys. You know, just in case

 

[ChristianVirtual]

Not an ugly car; but I would still prefer a SL. Can't effort any of those though.

 

[Tsuchiya]

Jony has had the Aston Martin for a while now hasn't he?

He has excellent taste, it's a beautiful car. The guard makes sense. It would be painful seeing something happen to it.

 

[RenoG]

The guard is there to...(wait for it).... prevent someone marring it from throwing jellybeans at it..

 

[TSE]

Great looking car but I can think of a few other cars I would prefer to it in that price range or even cheaper.

 

[MacNut]

So does the guard ride with Jony and then gets out.

And I don't think that traffic cone will fit in the trunk.

That's a German car though.

This one, like Ive himself, is British.

(Also I want one of those myself, but alas unless I either get extremely lucky some day or don't spend a single penny for the next 7 or so years I can probably never afford it.)

An Aston is so much more than a Merc. It's not about specs. It's about the feel a car will give you.

Ive show his class by wanting an Aston Martin.

And in black this car looks as good as a black iPhone

 

[Mad Mac]

Well, it figures that Ive drives an Aston. It explains a lot of things actually. Especially where iOS 6 maps got it's inspiration from.

Yea cause a hardware engineer has everything to do with the software app.

Yea cause a hardware engineer has everything to do with the software app.

Hint: Ive is not a hardware engineer. He's an industrial designer. And ID people have everything to do with how hardware and software looks. And don't call them engineers. Most couldn't engineer a box if they tried.

good for him

 

[shinji]

Beautiful car, and he's earned it with all of his contributions to Apple over the years.

Ive almost became a car designer, so it makes sense .

Um how would your know what Ive can or can't do? He described the design he practices as part fine art, part engineering.

As far as software, Apple's industrial designers have nothing to do with it. Ive himself said their focus is hardware.

I wonder if it scratches as easily?

 

[X-Ravin]

I wonder if it scratches as easily?

Why do you think it has a guard?

 

[Ice-Cube]

I wonder if it scratches as easily?

Imagine the irony if the Aston Martin execs told him 'You're driving it wrong".

 

[AppleScruff1]

Imagine the irony if the Aston Martin execs told him 'You're driving it wrong".

Or if they told him it's metal, it's supposed to scratch?

I would agree 100% with this. That car looks amazing.
