Maybe thats why Casino Royale is using a Mondeo? I'm sorry, but what a waste of time and money Aston Martin was. Shows what happens when you have idealized Brits running your company. Aston Martin was so far from Ford's core business history it isn't funny. Jaguar will be gone soon enough, nothing was gained from that marque, or anything relavant to engineering expertise. Some people may call this stupid, but i view it as survival of the fittest. Ford dumped so much money into those companies and they would probably be out of business if Ford never bought them. Which thus proves there is no British owned car company around. Landrover needs to be offered up next, however Volvo needs to stay.
