This is the first speculation I have seen how the new Lagonda could look like:

WOW!! It is stunning!

A bit too round for my taste and the Toyota style headlights could be tonned down a bit but overall good looking.

Here is what I found on the subject on the car Lounge:

Back in August when Aston Martin and Mercedes announced a technology sharing partnership, the speculation the benefactor would be Aston’s sports cars. It seems this help will also trickle to the future Lagonda sedan. AutoCar reports that the future large luxury car will share the W222 platform with future S-Class.
The new Lagonda will be engineered to support advanced new hybrid drive systems and new pre-scan suspension technology. The platform has been described as the German car maker’s most advanced system to date.

Lagonda’s first concept will be revealed in 2009 and the first production model will follow in 2012.

and comments from members of the car lounge are:
hope it does not look like that

wow a daewoo got a face lift!!!
a really really bad face light

no no no! its the daewoo re-deux of the buick invicta

I hope for something a bit more radical and "new" Smile

When the original wedge Lagonda was introduced it really stunned people. Like something they had never seen before.

The car in the picture looks very nice, but it could just as well have be the new Lexus.

I agree with Roger. It is awful.

It is not a patch on the Aston Rapide.
