A consortium led by Prodrive owner, David Richards, bought Aston Martin last month. I just found out. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6442101.stm
Thats alright, I'm sure in the same timespan Toyota will have dissolved Subaru. I cant wait to see what happens with Aston Martin once they get some of the top Prodrive engineers designing them.
We should start our own car company! Oh wait, none of us has any start up capital...more google ads ftw!
They did it to raise cash, and they wouldn't get much of an offer trying to pawn off something that's losing money left and right...
