Db7 Convertible, Balck On Black With Rare 6 Speed Manual Transmission on 2040-cars

Year:2000 Mileage:30000
Location:

2000 Aston Martin DB7. Very desirable Black on Black convertible with a rare 6 speed manual transmission. This car runs and drives like new with great power from the smooth 6.0 litre V12 engine. It really feels like a true sports car because of the great shifting 6 speed manual. The paint is original and shines like new with the exception of some touch up on the front bumper cover to take care of a few roads chips and lower scrapes from going in and out of my driveway. The black leather interior shows like new with very little ware on the drivers seat bolster. The seats are very supple and not dried out like many convertibles can be from sitting out too much with the top down. The Black convertible top is very nice with a clear back glass window. The interior wood is outstanding because of a complete refinish by Madera Concepts to take care of the few cracks that usually happen with age.The wheels have no curb rash and the tires have plenty of meat left on them. This vehicle has the factory rear subwoofer and desirable factory amps. The radio and speakers have been  highly upgraded with a newer Alpine head unit and the sound is fantastic for top down driving. Car has a clean CA title and is currently registered. All service is up to date and the last complete fluid change was done in November of 2013 with less than 500 mile driven since. Car needs nothing but a new home. Call Dave with questions at 760-803-2626. Car is for sale locally and is sold AS-IS with no warranty.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
