“Aston martin is twice the marque of Mercedes their are few to none that can compare to aston martin in beauty and engine sound” I 100% agree. This is the worst news I’ve heard in a while. What could Aston have to gain from this? A rebadged CL? How stupid is that? Oooo, then Aston gets the chance to rebuild the Maybach’s for MB. Seems to me like MB gets all of the benefit here. And and Aston SUV is the first step that a great company like Aston Martin could make in selling out like Porsche. Companies like this used to know who they were, and what kind of cars they built. Now they just want to make everything, and sell to everyone.

I’d like to see a Blade-like (the movie) lovechild of these two companies like anyone else. The strengths of both. The weaknesses of neither.

Imagine if Braubus stepped in on a DBS or Rapide variant. It’s be like a huuuge set of well groomed balls!

Lambo with Audi, Aston with Merc, Rolls with BMW, Bentley with Audi. The only way for boutique brands to survive technologically is to partner with mass market premium brands.

apart from all you haters (on both ends) this thing can really benefit both companies.
looking forward to their joint efforts. but please dont bring a suv or crossover under any brand thats related to aston… then again… the spyker suv is nice, too..

I could never have dreamed of a better combo a CL based DB-10!!!!! and a Aston styled maybach sound good, but Aston chief designer left the company and started the fisker brand…it’ll be interesting to see where this goes

lol nowei, I didn’t really think about that. I guess once Aston fakes dying, then Merc will have to kill themselves? Then Aston will really kill themselves? hmmm, gonna be interesting how they plan that one out

Why on Earth would they name such a tenuous and lofty partnership after the world’s most infamous tragedy?

I don’t like this. I hate MB

Rafa, don’t hate America and Americans. it was Russians who raped your mother or grandmother (or both if they were lucky) and even favorite family dog. Just because there is Russian influence in your DNA, you should be as polite as your maternal side was, while taking ugly Russian schlemil in mercenary position.

Now you will buy a VERY expensive Benz that is more sporty than BMW. Oh yeah, make me CEO now.

Why do Amerif@gs hate so much MB?? I think you”re jealous, but don’t worry, you should be.
BTW Don’t do this Mercedes, you can stay alone, I dunno why you always want to partner with some other company to pay for their mistakes.

“tie-up will be worth at least €300″

Talk about selling yourself short, I will give them €400 for the whole lot

By: zeeck

zeeck — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 19:03:16 +0000

Aston had better take a long look at how Benz screwed up Chrysler before they become too involve with the Daim-losers.

Benz is like two bit whore: yesterday was in bed with BMW, today blow job for Aston Martin.
