link don't work

^I think they want Louis Vuitton to make the leather. :P

I hadn't heard of this anywhere, until today, so this is really news to me. This is interesting. Perhaps Ford didn't see a future with Aston Martin? Maybe they wanted spare cash?

Because they are broke and in need of a quich cash injection. They could either sell Jaguar or Aston Martin, and seeing as though Jag shares certain components with Mondeos and Range Rovers it would be much easier to part ways with Aston Martin.

LOL I can see some rappers being happy with this

That's an enourmous company, right there...

Wow! I never knew Loius Vuitton owned all that stuff. Interesting. Certainly, this can be seen as a positive for Aston Martin.

let's hope something good will come off this !
