Default Aston Martin is set to be bought out by...

LVMH Group as in Louis Vuitton, Moet, Hennessey. The French luxury goods manufacturer.

LVMH to buy Ford's Aston Martin brand, German weekly to report - MarketWatch

I can see Aston Martin becoming a Bentley/Rolls-Royce competitor from the influence of its new parent.

Sucks They are going to sell, Ford has done well with the new Aston's. They should get rid of mercury and lincon instead.
