So it seems that Aston are going to move away from the current Ford engines and tap into AMG and get them to make something lovely to power their motors.

And Mercedes have taken a 5% stake in the company as part of the deal as well, I wonder if they can now move the styling on a little. I personally thing they look fantastic but they haven't evolved much recently to say the least.

This partnership has been rumoured for a while, not sure how much will be engine based as opposed the ability to get access to some decent auto gearboxes, which for Aston has always been an achilles, even though they have made massive improvements of late

Yeah if they can get a link up on the tech side as well and get rid of the ?Volvo? sat-nav they could improve even more. +++

They've FINALLY replaced it. The V8 might still use the old system, but all the new V12 models introduced from Virage onwards have a Garmin set up

Hard to believe when Volvo first fitted Nav to theirs cars, it couldn't be programmed whilst the car was in motion.....
