Default Aston Lagonda indefinitely suspended...due to $$ problem. yeah right!!...

Aston Martin's CEO, Ulrich Bez, said the concept was "indefinite hold" due to the difficult economic climate despite "...several sources ready to invest upward(s) of a quarter-billion pounds." He added that, "...the timing right now is simply wrong. We have some work to do yet, and it takes a lot of investment."



why do people have to sugarcoat shiet.......

just tell the truth.

The Lagonda is damn ugly, and wasn't embraced by the press.

That's why it's indef suspended.

Ugly clearly has not stopped people from building and selling vehicles.

I'm willing to bet it has more to do with the CAFE standards. Hence why they're making that iQ based Aston.

On that subject, what about companies like Lambo, Ferrari, Bugatti. How are they supposed to meet CAFE standards.
