RE: AM-RB 003 officially named Aston Martin Valhalla

[Skater12]

Someone needs to snap up some cherished plates that align with names like Valiant, Vixen, Vesuvius

Whatever 007 must be looking forward to his next company car! Although the valkyrie would have as much room for gadgets as most of his female companion's attire has...

And, the Valhala it is... Bond's new ride

That's one too many syllables IMHO.

I'm sure three syllables is manageable for most.
There's plenty of longer ones that don't evoke as much. LaFerrari, Portofino, Aventador or even the ridiculously long..... Range Rover Evoque 2.0 TD4 E-Capability 4x4 HSE Dynamic , haha!

Lolz on the last one, but there is an certain Britishness to the brevity of a two syllable V- name. Valhalla comes across as a bit too try-hard.

That picure is not great.

It looks like it has a trout pout.

It should have an English name, not a Norwegian one!

I certainly think Victor would be appropriate, honouring not only Handley-Page's masterpiece but also Mr Gauntlett, one-time saviour of the company, and, as I can attest from personal experience, an utter gentleman to boot.

I think Vauxhall would object.

Yeah, like the Lagonda, Rapide Virage and Superleggera.

They are about as English as Ken.

LOL yes, well, fair point but I do love the uniqueness of the best of ohh-so-classy English heritage! [Schtum that mine was built in Austria]! 'Superleggera' is a bit of a nonsense in the new DBS context mind - historically and according to the scales! Fabulous beauty + brawn car mind.

And on that note we should call the DBX the Aston Martin Tractor Pontcanna maybe!

When did they last use the Victor name? Over 40 years ago... I'd be surprised if they still have it trademarked, and I daresay they'd sell any remaining rights they may retain to AM if approached...

Well they just brought back the Viva, so you never know.

Vulva would be far more appropiate..
