Aston Martin to cut 500 jobs

They build junk right now.
Uninspiring half left over Mercedes parts...…..IMHO Junk.
Hope Stroll can do it.
We don't need, submarines, helicopters,10 speed bicycles and rental apartments in florida.
Just build a wonderfulGT that's not competeing with Ferrai, youll lose, stop building boy racers to compete against Nissan, youll lose.
I love my DB4

It's not junk. The new styling may not be for everyone though...and they may have "lost the recipe" for at least some of us. The electronics outsourcing from Germany is a good idea actually. The AMG V8? Not so sure.

 

JohnnyRay, IMHO, that's IMHO...……
The current line up if you have driven them IMHO are terrible cars.
Ive had the DB11 both v8 and V12 and new VANTAGE for testing, opinion and possible purchase.
Not for ten minutes but MONTHS , they are terrible and the SALEs reflect it.
The DB11 was so bad after a week I just left it in the driveway, Its a Honda Pilot with less comfort.

Im an AMOC member forever, owed DB2,DB4,VANQUISH,VANTAGE, TOYING WILL THE LAST DB9 just because they have a style.
The new Vantage is Ugly, and Andy P paid the price, claiming it was the most BEAUTIFUL car at launch.
Peoples jaws dropped when they took the cover off in NEON YELLOW.

Maybe you own one and I hope you enjoy it but IMHO, They are terrible cars.
This was a marketing switch to MILLENIALS , I was there as they said WE were old and this is what they want.
Well, guess what, They CANT GIVE AWAY $180,000 cars for $1,200 a month with no money down for 3 years.

Yes some Mercedes parts help BIGGLY but the soul like most German anything is not there.....too cold.
Make sense?

Now remake the OLD VANTAGE WITH THE V12 AND A STICK...……...BULLET PROOF.

 

And ironically, I spent part of the weekend watching your Aston/Jag series.....you should have told the Aston people about your issues.

Plus it was funny that one episode turned into a Ford GT worship session

 

I read somewhere the SUV was selling pretty well (I was wrong) and they are considering doing a 7 seater as well as a coupe version.

 

Shark We did that series 3 years ago right before these cars came out for the most part
If it wasn’t for Ford under the premier group they would have been gone long ago
The Vanquish the Vantage and Db9!would never had the tech to complete if not for Ford back then
That series was fun......and so were the cars!
