Houston Cars

Well, it’s official.  Aston Martin is sold to Louis Vuitton.  Yea, the French Louis Vuitton.  Yea, the same company that makes the purses. 

It’s hard to imagine Aston Martin, a very very British nameplate, belonging to the French, of all possible options.  Hell, if I had the money, I’d have bought Aston myself, just so the French didn’t get ahold of it. 

I still can’t believe it.. the French… French Aston Martin…

For what it’s worth, Ford is hanging on to 15% of Aston, but the French get the rest.
