Regardless of the varied opinions on the new look of the Lagonda line, the Aston Martin spinoff may just be the brand to watch this year. In a time when car companies are scaling back on concepts and cutting budgets, Lagonda will be unveiling a second concept car before the summer.

In an interview with Le Blog Auto, Aston Martin board member and partial owner, David Richards said the concept shown in Geneva was just to test public reaction. There will be another car revealed in May that will be "completely opposite to the one you saw in Geneva."

There is no indication yet if Aston Martin is planning a two-vehicle line of is just sending out concept car until one really resonates with the public. What we do know is that at least one car will stick to the points announced by Aston Martin CEO Dr. Ulrich Bez. That menas Lagonda will cover territory not covered by traditional Aston Martins (i.e. crossover or SUV), and it shoulc be based on the Mercedes GL platform.
