It's more than a reskin. It's the same VH platform, but they've changed some of the dimensions. The body on top is all CF.
I'm sure Aston are incredibly happy that you're openly talking about all this on a public forum! You sure it's worth risking confidential relationship for the sake of scoring a few points on an internet forum?!Just sayin'

Aston Martin have no rivals in what they do.
Well, apart from Maserati and the front-engined Ferraris.

It's already out there!
As an official press release? If not, it's not 'already out there' as far as a company is concerned.Take the iPhone 4 for example. When that early handset was 'found' in a bar, would it have then been ok for any of the 3rd party developers who'd seen and used the prototypes to confirm specs and appearance based on confidential information they had been given?
I don't work for Aston, but I do work for another automotive company, and I know that talking about future models in anyway, not least on a public forum, is a risky business when you have any sort of relationship with the company.
It's entirely up to you what you say, and I'm not in anyway suggesting you stop unless you want to, but if I was in your position, I'd be steering clear of commenting on anything before the offical press releases are out. This includes wheel specs, appearance, engine specs or anything.
I can guarantee that people from Aston's PR department, and indeed even their management read these forums, and this is the same for manufacturers based in this country like Ford or JLR.

It's all over the web, Mike.
Regardless of what is "all over the web", if you have been given any information by AML under a non disclosure agreement and then disclose it on the internet.... well then you are in breach of the non disclosure agreement. This is regardless of what is being speculated by those on the net who haven't signed any NDA, however true or untrue what they are saying may be.
I think Arosamike is spot on with this one, and that you should probably think twice about what you say on a public forum if you would like to maintain whatever privileged relationship it is you have with Aston.
