Incorrect - Aston has confirmed that this engine has nothing to do with Mercedes’ engine architecture. All internal and all Aston development.

Vaguely Fisker Karma-esque taillights

Well played

Does this Pacifica come with Celine Dion too? Worst ad campaign ever.

I was secretly hoping it was part of the Miss Cleo Package (BMW option code: MCP) where it uses the “spirits” and the “cards” to tell you how well you can predict your future driving behavior.

Marketing Research for automotive advertising - sadly product development/features isn’t my department :(

See Doug? I told you it’d be charming. Nobody can ever be angry at an Aston Martin. They’re just too beautiful to be pissed at.

What the fuck? How can the car measure anticipation? How the hell is this even a quantifiable metric? (I work in automotive marketing research)

I like my license.

Pretty sure this is a 1st-Gen Vanquish steering wheel.

Jesus is this ugly. It’s got all the finesse of an unfinished kit car, but with some of the style of a miniaturized 5th Gen Camaro (at least the squared-off bluntly shaped front end does to me). This is truly one of the uglier non-SUVs ever made.

Welcome to the Aston club! I too have an Aston (and promise I’m not like any traditional Aston owner). Would love to trade stories in person and make jokes about “the War” - let me know Doug!

This guy is the real deal folks. Managed to meet him at Lime Rock’s historic festival 2 years ago - just awesome.

Couldn’t agree more. Glad to see schmucks like this are still allowed to chisel into a tablet.

YES! MACH 5!

Great Piece Raph!

AHH That’s the ticket! Good show old chap!

I’ve got a Speak & Spell on its way to you right now Raph. You need not worry!

Wtf language is this?
