2014 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Stratus White/obsidian Black 2700 Miles on 2040-cars
San Antonio, Texas, United States
|
If you have never experienced the breath taking beauty and excitement of an Aston Martin, you are letting all the good things in life pass you by. Besides having one of the most striking body designs ever to grace the automotive world, the Aston Martin Vantage is a thrill to drive. The 4.7 liter V8 makes the most incredible sound of any car on the road and provides enough acceleration to humble even a seasoned sports car veteran.
On the outside, the car is finished in Stratus White, which is a metallic white that sparkles beautifully in the sun. As all Aston Martin paint jobs, it is flawless with no orange peel anywhere on the car. Since I bought the car, I also had cQuartz Ceramic Paint Sealant applied to the car, which has a 5 year warranty. This alone was a $1000 treatment. 19 inch machined finish aluminum alloys are fitted with sticky Bridgestone Potenza tires. The windows have been coated with the highest quality Wincos tint for maximum heat and UV rejection. Open the door and the rich smell of leather is the first thing you notice. Not one square millimeter of the interior is made of vinyl or any other simulated leather. Every surface that looks like leather IS leather, and not the kind of cheap stuff you see in every Japanese car on the road either. Aston Martin uses only the best leather in the world. Accented with white contrast stitching, the interior on this car is absolutely the best you will find. Take a look at the image of the original window sticker on the car for a full list of standard and optional features. The MSRP on the car was just under $144,000, making this your chance to get a practically brand new car for a huge discount. After some recent inexplicable buying decisions on my part, I somehow ended up with 4 two-door cars. I need at least one vehicle that I can get more than two people in, so this one must go. Feel free to email me if you need any more info on this gorgeous piece of automotive art. |

Aston CEO claims Cygnet cancelled because Toyota is dropping iQ in 2014
Sun, 27 Oct 2013While slow sales and a $50,000 price tag may have been contributing factors to the Aston Martin Cygnet being cancelled last month, Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez is pointing the finger at Toyota for the demise of this luxurious little city car. In a discussion with Autocar, Bez is quoted as saying that the ultimate reason the Cygnet was cut is because Toyota plans on dropping the iQ (on which the Cygnet is based) in 2014 - a claim denied by the Japanese automaker.
Interestingly, the article also cites another publication reporting that a Toyota importer in the Netherlands heard the same news as Bez, and it has already stopped importing the cars. If the European Toyota iQ is cancelled, that would likely spell the end of the slow-selling Scion iQ in the US, which has sold just 3,365 units through September (a drop of 51 percent year over year).
Regardless of why production of the Cygnet ended, Bez also says that a lack of support from Toyota on the project prevented it from being offered in the US or receiving a supercharged engine, which are two factors that likely would have made the car appealing to more buyers.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It'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.
Aston Martin and Lotus each issue recalls
Sun, 14 Oct 2012A pair of head-turning high performance cars are catching some attention off a different kind, in the form of safety recalls. Aston Martin and Lotus have issued recalls for the V12 Vantage Coupe and Evora, respectively.
Aston Martin's affects 169 examples of the 2009-2012 V12 Vantage Coupe. It concerns the tire-pressure monitoring system, and is less a malfunction than it is a compliance issue. The TPMS does not alert the driver until the front tire is more than 25 percent below the recommended cold tire pressure. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138 states that the alarm must sound when tire pressure is "equal to or less than either the pressure 25 percent below" the recommended cold inflation pressure. To address the issue, Aston Martin will notify owners and reprogram the software, free of charge.
As for Lotus, 80 supercharged Evoras have been recalled, all built between February and September, 2011. The problem involves an engine-mounted oil feed pipe, which could rupture, causing loss of engine oil or a possible fire if the oil sprays onto a hot engine.
