Waiting 5 years to get the only '08, '09 etc. DBS, means that you actually get to own the only '08, '09 etc. DBS. Aren't you all car guys?? The multi millionars, billionars, that buy these kind of cars didn't get thier millions, billions from being morons. They just want a DBS. Don’t you guys understand?

Ford could no longer do anything for AM anymore and sold them off to a very good company, great things will come from AM in the future because of Prodrive.

Ford is hitting the top of safety lists because of Volvo's research. The only reason you won't see GM selling off brands is because their brands are all high capacity (except for Saab maybe). It is much more beneficial for them to do a turnaround on these companies than sell because if they achieve a proper turnaround like the product merging of Opel/Saturn, they will strike it big. This is what Ford is trying to accomplish, simplify their lineup so they can focus on a turnaround of the high capacity companies instead of ignoring the little ones i.e. AM, LR, Jag which will just end up causing a slow bleed.

It hasn't ruined Volvo at all, bran. Ford has only brung good into the life of Volvo, and it only looks like it will get better. Not only are they making some of the safest cars on the road, they're now getting into alternative fuels, more performance oriented models and even safer cars. Ford gave them a good look, from the boxy cars that I'm sure you will all agree, were and are ugly. And Ford helped Aston Martin too. Not only did Ford provide funding, but revamped many of their materials and parts with help from Jaguar. Ford has done amazing things for Aston Martin, Jaguar, Mazda and Volvo, period.

And what's the wait on those? Two years max? Why not just adjust DBS production so the wait is at least in the ballpark of the other two cars? I mean come on, realistically, five years from now the DBS will be on the verge of being superceded by another Aston flagship. No one who really wants a car in its first couple models years - when its still fresh - is going to settle for finally taking delivery when its about to be replaced.

No matter how many cars AM sells they still aren't a big enough company to help in the reconstruction of Ford and for Ford at the same time support them.

If Ford was a profitable company they wouldn’t have sold AM because it is a VERY valuable company image wise, but Ford has to get thier priorities together and sell off the smaller volume brands so they can focus on straightening out the high volume ones.

Glad to see AM is doing good though, they’re probably the most beautiful cars ever made and I wish to see more of them.

They will keep only pieces of empire that don't sell, ever. I hate to repeat myself, but I think I did not mention today that Ford’s management is full of schmacks.
