The CEO (who was recently fired) sadly took the brand down with him.

I still lust after a Vantage V12 though, gorgeous sheetmetal and that engine is simply marvelous despite shockingly being two Ford V6's stitched together!
I actually find Aston's new lineup to be very impressive. Their previous gen models became very stale and had pretty mediocre interiors and cabin tech. I think the brand name is too strong to go anywhere, they'll just get bought out.
