Oh yeah, by God's dear grace, Aston will be brought by a real car maker.

No big surprise there, Aston is English breed, no one what to buy a Aston Martin from "them". So it's a given that they were never going to make it, even if the auto industry wasn't as bad as it is now.

Then you might want to read the article posted on WCF on nov 5.

Price-fitting appointments are a foregone conclusion as owners will be able to personalise their One-77s to a tee, thus making them even more exclusive than they already will be. How much more exclusive can you get at only five UK examples and six for the US? Well, how about Veyron-matching ?1.02 million? Ouch! No sales have been confirmed yet but "100 expressions of interest" have been received.

even if it isn't confirmed some countries will buy them for sure, Dubai for example because they have 16% of the Vayron and they like expensive cars, and many other countries as well

Instead of *also* developing a sports car model affordable by the middle class buyer (see Mercedes Benz, BMW, Audi) they stuck to planning for a market existing only in their imagination and hopes - because if the market was there they would not be in such serious trouble now. Swollen and stuck up heads snubbing the real consumer - serves them right, but such a pity for the brand, which is endangered with extinction (remember Darwin and the laws of physics?).
