Kinda Viper-esque in the nose and Daytona in the ****, could have potential, then again could just be a Jag...

You can have one in America easily, if you have $250,000. I saw an Aston dealership in St. Louis. I'm sure there are plenty others.

I pass one everyday on my way to work. So they are out there. And they are gorgeous cars!

Aston's models start around 100K and go up close to a million or more. Ford owned them for about 13 years (1994-2007) and most of the current models were styled and developed while under Ford's ownership. The 6.0 V12 motor that powers most everything Aston has was developed by Ford and its basis was actually two Ford 3.0 Duratec V6 motors.

Ford also has a contract with the current owners to supply powertrains. Same with Tata which is the Indian company that bought Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford a few years ago. Smartest move they ever made. They make a profit on every car sold instead losing money on them. Those contracts were part of the selling agreements.

I drove a 2008 V8 Vantage this last summer I liked it a lot. They have terrible resale value so a used one can be gotten fairly reasonable but then there is maintenance and that isn't going to be cheep. I help my friend whose car I drove put it up on jack stands to remove the wheels to be powder coated. Beautiful cast aluminum K member and rear suspension framing and a flat bottom very cool.

Just wondering that because in my area, there must be about 20 new Camaros for every new Mustang I see and that is not an exaggeration.

I still remember waiting for the '94 to come out. Living in the Detroit metro area at the time, rumors were flying about retro styling similar to the 1st generation. I liked the styling, but felt they were extremely underpowered compared to the LT powered F bodies.
Maturity and practicality stepped in and I patiently waited for Ford to step up and correct my perceived short comings. They finally did in 2005.
I'm glad I waited as I worked in the car business for over 10 years and had the opportunity to drive just about every kind of vehicle out there. Ford quality wasn't there with the SN-95.

I have a hard time seeing this being anything but a Mustang though I'm not sure what to make of what I can see. The front fascia in relation to the front fender flares looks a little odd and that front 3/4 shot makes the car appear pretty pedestrian (actually reminds me of an SN95 somewhat). Here's hoping the final product is a little more voluptuous. Regardless, I look forward to seeing where they go from this rough clay model!

Talking

The picture of the blue Mustang sure is nice. The wheels make the car. It looks like you could get some serious rubber underneath those rear fenders.

Whats up with the big mouth grill openings these days on the newer fords? Look at the Fiesta, Fusion, and Focus. I dont care for it at all. I dont know if its the odd shape of them or what but I hope they dont do this to the Mustang.
