My god what a joke. What does a handbag/alochol/fashion company know about the automobile industry?? I can't believe they went through with this deal.
I'm just counting down the days when AM will launch a "Special Edition" DB9/AMV8 with those vulgar LV signs all over the interior.

I don't think they would involve themselves in that way... They're not making that much money being stupid, and of course it's gonna be the same people managing am as in the past years, continuing making nice cars...

Yes, I'm sure the current management will run AM, but the final word will always rest with LVMH.

I'd say most automobile companies themselves don't know anything about the automobile industry either. Just look around at all the sh1t that's churned out by the likes of Ford and GM 
Having said that, they seem to be doing pretty well in a large variety of other sectors, so who knows, maybe they'll apply some of their succesful management of other luxury marques to Aston Martin as well.

Despite rumors to the contrary, French luxury brand LVMH isn’t buying Aston Martin from Ford.
So says UK publication Autocar, who says that a spokesman for the Louis Vuitton parent company dismissed the rumor as “absolute rubbish.” LVMH is the parent company for everything from the aforementioned upscale handbag maker to TAG Heuer watches and Glenmorangie scotch.
From http://news.windingroad.com/earnings...s-forthcoming/
so no future Astons with handbags instead of seats or something  ...i wonder how these rumors go so much...
