No re-badged vehicle for me...

March 30, 2011 08:30AM
Hi Martin,

Thanks for the info on AM's owners. Yes, I remember reading that Ulrich Bez was still with AM.
I think AM's Rapide, DBS, and One-77 are exceotional automobiles....so to me the Cygnet just doesn't fit in with the AM family, although I understand why they are doing it.

I agree with you on not wanting to see a re-badged Fiat 500 as a Baby Ferrari or Maser. Although, I'm sure Ferrari won't have to go that route as they've been doing R&D on some green vehicles, plus they are under the Fiat umbrella (so the Fiat products raise the overall fleet mileage). I have to admit I'm not a fan of their new FF. I've just never dreamed of owning a Ferrari hatchback. I just keep hoping they won't release a Ferrari sedan or SUV to try to compete with the Panamera or Cayenne.

Best regards,
Dino

But I'll bet this one get's your blood pumping into the right direction!

Now that's what I'd call a real Aston Martin! nt.

We should get together for a testdrive!

Martin Green 209 May 11, 2011 02:00AM

You arrange the test drives and I'm game! nt.
