SubscriberThe Ford Motor Company has sold Aston Martin.
They didn't waste any time deleting the brand from ford.com either.

and Aston Martin's version:

Sale price about $1 BILLION to a consortium comprising a rich Pom, a rich Yank and lots of Kuwaiti money.
Hopefully they'll invest even more than Ford did in it, and be more interested in developing Aston Martin as a brand rather than just one horse in a big stable.
And to think I didn't even know it was for sale, or I might have bought it! (Yeah, right).
Why buy just one car when you can own the company.
It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

I guess they are trying to re-coop on the $16 billion USD they lost last year!
I think that was for the best anyway, the new Astons were becoming very...cheap looking.

Nah it was surported by the british goverment. If it was surported by anyone else it would have gone in the 70's. And Land rover kept it going for years and years, and thats why there we no new models from land rover for years
