RE: Aston Martin releases Centenary Edition models
Discussion
A new car by AML only available POA? OMG, WTF is going on, to use lots of TLAs (three letter acronyms)
I am torn between two alternative POA meanings (not of course mutually exclusive)
POA = "I might have to do a discount deal to shift these, which would be embarrassing"
or,
POA = "You never have any way of calculating how many suckers there are out there who might overpay"
However, how long before someone phones up AML, asks the price and puts it on the internet?
Silly, silly marketing people, your customers are grown ups, don't patronise them.
Some more thoughts on POA here,

Vantage is old but Vantage S freshened it up nicely. The Vanquish II is completely new, The Rapide S is about to be heavily updated and the DB9.2 has changed hugely from the original car, all three just started production.
So... what's your point? Let me guess, don't actually have one?
If you can post without getting into personal insults, do you think that this is a good way of celebrating an important milestone to the company.So... what's your point? Let me guess, don't actually have one?
I'm hoping that this is a long spell of celebrating, its 100 years since Bamford and Martin got together, which is a start, but no big deal, so maybe it doesn't warrant much celebration.
The production of their first car was a big deal, so maybe Aston will celebrate with something appropriate, maybe a naturally aspirated range of Vantage, DB9, Rapide and Vanquish with 100bhp/litre, saving 100kg over their current weights and with a 100% finance deal.

Congratulations Aston Martin. It amazes me how much grumbling there is on AM threads here on Pistonheads. Even a 6 cyl DB7 turns my head. IMHO Callum era Astons are one of the great styling triumphs of motor design in our era. I just don't understand anyone who says "meh" to a DB9. Personally, I'd love a drive in one, let alone have it on the driveway. As for the shady shading on the paint I like the look of it and it will be interesting to see if this makes its way down the automotive marketplace some time soon.

I love the DB7, I love the Vanquish and I love the DB9. When the V8 was released, I thought it was gorgeous, despite being a DB9 'mini-me'. But they're not being adventurous any more (although the new Vanquish looks gorgeous from some angles) Aston need a new design direction badly.
