Surely a step too far in the name game.
What are we to call a new Aston Martin hybrid?

I think the implication is the new Lambo hybrid has an understated design and meant as more of a grand tourer than track car. And if that didn't remind us enough of a certain Gaydon based manufacturer then the name hammers it home. No?

Well, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and it's better coming from Lamborghini than Ford (grille design and calling the new range Vignale?)

I am actually abroad, not abroard, in Amsterdam where I have not been allowed to have a few of anything since I am with my wife!
Yes, Speech, my point is that you surely cannot intrude this much into a rivals name.

Whatever next , an Aston Ferreriari? Bugateriti? Porseriche?

The next new model could be called 'TheAston', similar to the LaFerrari? idea
