Aston Martin seems to be destined for failure if the new DBX doesn't sell, and as much as I use to love them, the latest DB11 and Vantage both don't exude the British Elegance that Aston's use to have - the new Vantage in particular is a hideous mess inside and out and was rushed to production - and while I love an AMG V8, I don't think they fit the character that Aston is known for. 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!
