dont know why they would but i guess mercedes could look around for a few lost coins round the factory floor to buy into this 2 cent company.

People might buy a Lagonda whereas they won’t be seen dead in a Maybach

no, this better not happen. i can see aston wanting some of the hybrid technology but they dont need much else. sure the cash would be nice. aston is doing fine on their own and they just got sold anyway! they dont need to be bought up again right away.

They compete against each other, no?
Volante vs. AMG SL
Rapide vs. big AMG sedan.

How did the VERY IMPORTANT wording of BUY INTO Aston get missed in this article? The guys that own AM now with Dave Richards arent going to be selling it any time soon. I’m guessing it has more to do with AM trying to get some help with fuel saving and hybrid technology and MB expanding their profit base.

Interesting combination…

I would be hugely dissapointed if the next db9 was a restyled SL. However, if the collaboration was limited to parts sharing, this could end up being good for Aston (if some of the AMG engines like the new 6.2L V8 found their way underhood new astons), and i’m sure Aston could use the cash.

I think that there are some synergies here which makes this acquisition make sense.

yeah no kidding. Soon everyone is going to have investments and ownership in everyone and no one will know who owns who…. It’s a conspiracy I tell you… j/k
