Augie SchroerDec 01, 2012 Good. Don't let the Japanese take over
Jacob BurfordNov 27, 2012 If Toyota bought them and just provided the money for Aston to do there stuff, that would be good! If Toyota got involved, not so good!
David LenderNov 27, 2012 I really wish Toyota bought them
Rockesh BoulderNov 27, 2012 @Puneet lol! He be chasing does baddies down in a new Bolero!
Victor PittsNov 27, 2012 As long as Ford doesn't mess up Aston anymore, I'm happy.
Puneet DassNov 27, 2012 Imagine if James Bond starts driving a Mahindra in the next bond movie
Alex ArvanitisNov 27, 2012 Rest assured, corporate climate will do little but bolster the brand. The private sector will keep it thriving.
Gm with public money... Lets just say a volt costs gm $75,000 to build, and they are mandated to do so by the government, but sells @ 35k
Jerrod SwensonNov 27, 2012 Because when I think of best in the world engineering, British cars first come to mind.
David JusticeNov 27, 2012 Toyota would have been cool. Really deep pockets, access to high end R&D facilities, and deeeep pockets! As long as they left the design and most engineering in Great Britain, of course.
Luke PurdyNov 27, 2012 It's just shares, they won't do anything drastic to the company
Stephen CobbsNov 27, 2012 Brandon nothing will go wrong. It's just business.
Augie SchroerDec 01, 2012 Too bad this car isn't in production anymore it is my favorite
Blaise HarnedNov 28, 2012 Ok thanks @tyler. How can you tell? Just so I can be able to haha!
Jordan SmithNov 27, 2012 Judging from the color alone, I'd guess it's a Virage. And yeah Alex, the Virage isn't in production, but the new DB9 is practically the same car anyways.
Tyler TarboxNov 27, 2012 @Blaise. The next one over is a Vanquish
Sasa JungicNov 27, 2012 There is no more Virage. New DB9 looks like Virage so I guess it's DB9
Blaise HarnedNov 27, 2012 And the next one over, the blue one is the DB9
Blaise HarnedNov 27, 2012 @tyler. I'm pretty sure this is the virage.
Tyler TarboxNov 27, 2012 Alright I'm pretty good with recognizing cars but is this the Virage or the new DB9?
Alex ArvanitisNov 27, 2012 The virage is out of production? It's brand new though?
Luke PurdyNov 27, 2012 I liked this car, too bad they aren't making it anymore
Carlton SalmonNov 27, 2012 Stunning colour on a gorgeous car - WALLPAPER!
Description: According to reports, Italian private equity fund Investindustrial is also in the mix. The Bonomi family's investment arm had bought Ducati in 2006 and recently sold it to Audi for a tidy 300% pr...Add Comments10
Jordan SmithNov 27, 2012 Both a perfect combination and a reliability nightmare.
Chris GainesNov 27, 2012 or the perfect combination?
Jimmy WilliamsNov 27, 2012 A British-Italian joint supercar...Sounds like some sort of bad reliability worst nightmare.
Lou GuerreroNov 27, 2012 300% is serious gains but chump change for the VAG.
Alex ArvanitisNov 27, 2012 Selling to Italians might be tricky because of Italy's corporate tax system. That could actually hurt the brand unless they leave the incorporation as is which they'd be smart to do. Better to be a conglomerate investor than outright owner
Boyd BoudreauxNov 27, 2012 There is no integrity amongst investors it's all about money and profits. Sell to the highest bidder Aston Martin to mahindra What!!
Dale SchroederNov 27, 2012 Huh, other places had been reporting Investment Dar weren't looking to sell their stake and had long-term plans for Aston Martin. I don't know who to believe anymore...
Brandon BairianNov 27, 2012 Indian and malaysian owning british car marks,Italian owning american , french owning japanese... Its interesting to see these companies up coming models and how they preserve the integrity of their heritage.
Jacob BurfordNov 27, 2012 Favorite car right there! Love the blue!
Craig LafeyNov 27, 2012 It's perfect. Love the color.
Michael LepinayNov 27, 2012 Aside from the F1, I think this is the most beautiful car ever designed IMO...
Tyler TarboxNov 27, 2012 Haven't seen one in blue yet. Looks awesome. Best color
Alex ArvanitisNov 27, 2012 Alex, Aston is very black. Try are up tremendously since 2000. Their is a bidding war because the company is so enticing.
This car is a masterpiece.
Alex RenaudNov 27, 2012 And it would be interesting to see AM's balance sheet, because I wonder if that partner is looking to sell because the company is in the red, just a lack of interest, or otherwise.
Alex RenaudNov 27, 2012 It would be very difficult to design an automobile that is easier on the eyes than this Aston Martin.
Good. Don't let the Japanese take over
