Hi Scott,

Some good points. If the launching of a new automotive adventure is poorly done then it is doomed to fail, regardless of if they have purchased a history or not.

Infinity and Lexus produced a very high quality, world-class product that allowed them to overcome their lack of history. The Paganis and Nobles and Infinities and Lexii show that it can be done, it is just a little harder to do it. I'll take your word for it that Aston loses money - I honestly don't know - but they've had great reviews for the DB9. They have a good product, the question is if they can make money with it.

You are correct in that we have high (impossible?) expectations for any new Pantera. And it would be a difficult task to achieve - but it would be great to be able to cheer for the "home team"... I guess that's why I'd like to see it continue.
