On piston heads that must hurt.

Saw that Phil, a real shame....Hope they can ride it out. I know they need new cars but they still look great.

At least they stopped trying to re-badge odd looking cars from the east. But I do hope they can pull through.

We need to retain quality motors such as Aston, we have lost too many over the years..!!

 

[mowlas]

Agreed. Someone must be able to turn the fortunes of this brand around. According to a recent Reuters report they sold 2,340 cars in January-September 2012, 19 percent down from 2011. Worryingly low!

Drove past the Aston garage in Cardiff today and it just drags you in..The cars look great even though the are an old design...

 

[hodroyd]

We all know it has been a slow period for everybody over recent years, but Aston Marketing will have to step up a gear to try and resolve this situation, or they add in some extra special performance goodies to bring these babies up a notch..!!

I agree with everyone, they are beautifully made.... but with Ferrari bringing out the F12 they really set the mark for someone like Aston. F12 can be a GT and a sports car,, it is an insane car... not as well made mind you...and far to expensive... for what it is... but if Hybrids /electric are the future for all of us, it just might be one of those special cars to own when they are older...

Same her Dem, when I saw one for the first time at the Ferrari factory driving down the street it blew me away.....but......I would still take an Aventador over one as for the money it just looks a million dollars and has far more event about it.

 

[dem maser]

Theres a blue aventador that drives up the high road every day....footballer i think, ut makes so much noise even when in traffic, love it

 

[Andyk]

Have an orange one around by me..The chap uses it in all weather..Saw him at 07:00 last week as I was going to work..STunning.

 

[dem maser]

the sound!!

 

[hodroyd]

I love that string of trumpets sound, makes the hairs on your neck stand up..!!

 

[dem maser]

What an engine.....

 

[hodroyd]

I second that..!!

 

[safrane]
