    haha not a bad plan

    i mean, why would anyone buy a car that is $125,000 and does 0-60 in...wait the UCP database says 4.0 that can't be right can it? neither of its big brothers even did that...

    anyway how can two cars $50,000 apart be considered competitors? they both are equally good looking, almost identical IIRC performance, and both have good options

    I would have thought my previous posts would have answered that...Aston would be skimping on something to bring you the car for $80,000. Think about it, a £45k Aston? Tuscans cost £50k and you're losing out on build quality and reliability when compared to a 911. I think a £45k car would, at this time, wreck the whole Aston brand because they'd be lowered from being a supreme symbol of British craftsmanship and engineering to just another one of Ford's corporate monkeys.

    What makes Aston any better (by your criteria)? They're owned by Ford.

    It's not that I don't like Austin because it's owned by Ford. I just said that I didn't like American cars.

    Lets say, (I'm randomly guessing) a Lesux SC430!
    No, no, it's not a british car. And, it's replacement is not out yet! Ummm, let's say the new XK then, specially out for that show lol. Since they used the older one in Die Another Day.
