Default AMV8









Yeah, I know it looks like every other Aston, but thats why I love it!

It will be interesting to see if this does muscle in on Porka territory.

They are truly awsome cars.

Gazza, I think I know exactly what you mean;

Designers are criticised if they are too derivative, lambasted if they are too challenging. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

My only reservation is that they appear to have reduced the bonnet length by about four pots between the A pillar and axle line, without curtailing the front overhang. That gives it almost FWD proportions!

Me too!.... The AMV8 is soon to join our company car list and we've even negotiated a 15% discount with Ford!

Our negotiator caught the Ford guys out beautifully....... the conversation apparently went something like this.......

Our Guy: "So just to sum up Ford will give us a 15% discount on the Ford range of cars?"

Ford: "Yes"

Our guy: "15% on the entire Ford Group?"

Ford: "Yes 15% on the entire Ford Group"

Both sign a piece of paper......

Our guy: "Great we have lots of potential Aston Martin customers for you!"

Ford: "Ah..... when I said entire Ford Group I didn't mean Aston Martin!"

Too late Ford we have it in writing!!!!! Ford are trying to wriggle out of it but it looks like we have them over a barrel so they'll have to give a discount on a car that NEVER has a discount!

Shame I almost certainly can't afford one!
