My Ride: 2009 DINAN 135 convertible
calm down guys... this is all necessary due to the environmental socialists who are mandating that car companies maintain average economy of 25 mpgs or whatever by year 2014. The idea was for Aston to make this small piggish vehicle that will get good gas mileage so they can say their "fleet" averages the legal minimum. Rolls Royce is doing something similar w/a partnership w/Mini. Expect to see more of it as the Copenhagen Conferences of the world continue to regulate us into oblivion...

I guess that may be true, but there has GOT to be a better way of going about it. This car is ugly and goofy and will do nothing but diminish the name Aston Martin.
