That's the simple truth. The japs are too concerned with making profits, they won't care about a small company that sells emotion.

BMW only have the 6series which isn't really selling as well as it can. Aston therefore can be the right piece to the jigsaw MB has Mclaren which is more of a sports car company to Aston’s GT’s like Mercedes.
