not to change gears: Don't you think Aston Martin going into a tough class with the Benz C350, BMW 335, Caddy CTS, G37,TL-S, IS350,etc. All of those cars seem like excellent cars. I know most car makers make cars to make money but i think Aston Martin getting into what i call the "3 series" catagory. cause when i think of a BMW i think of a 3.

The Aston dealer near me is taking deposits only if you decide to pay 20k over MSRP...

Also I could see a 50k Ferrari in the works...
