Toyota might buy Aston Martin
 

If I was reading this article in the morning while eating cereal, this would've happened.

before you know it the next generation Vanquish will be powered with Prius batteries

I wouldn't mind an Aston designed corolla :lawl:

Cygnets for everybody

O.O

Toyota conducted a one-week study on the acquisition months ago. They have proceeded no further.

I don't see why Toyota would want Aston.

To be fair, it would be good for Aston Martin to be owned by someone like Toyota. They have the resources and money to help keep them afloat. The engine from the LFA would be a good base to replace their aging Ford-based engines as well.

As long as Aston Martins still look like Aston Martins, I honestly have nothing against it.

But if it'll be anything like what happened when this...

Turned into this...

That would be pretty cool eh, imagine the luxury of the Aston Martin with the reliability of Toyota? Awesome

daaaaaang.

they certainly benefited from ford ownership for 20 years. They really need some ownership with some R&D resources. If im not mistaken their V12 is basically just 2 for duratec v6s which theyve been using for over 10 years.

The new Vanquish is already way slower and just as expensive as its competition, they can only get by on looks for so long.

At least it's not like Maserati who will be building cars on the Chrysler 300 platform.

a Aston Supra sounds interesting :)

Isnt Toyota working with BMW.......??? :badpokerface:


now this is going to get interesting..

Toyota would not acquire a foreign auto company. The company is far too insular.

Aston will either be purchased by TATA, a Chinese company, or VAG if Ferdinand Piech is in a good mood.

Well, incase you didn't know...Tesla is an American company.

:awwyeah:

^woah thats a sick looking scion frs :ilied:

Imagine the speed of the Aston Martin and the brake failures of Toyota! Awesome

* Just a joke

Aston Martin Cygnet available in many parts of the world
 

Not quite the speed of the Aston but should have the reliability of the Toyota:
