EXACTLY what I thought!!! Exact same word!! Just terrible! They had an awesome opportunity to really make something that would stand out IN A GOOD WAY and they pull this out of their A$$?! Are you kidding me?!

Oh, Mark, they ARE banking on this car by the way and it is ASTON MARTIN, not Austin Martin, but I agree with your idea, the AM V8 and the Jag are what the 928 would/should be today (don't get your panties in a wad, I was just giving you a hard time for your spelling there brother, I know you know that it is Aston and not Austin! LOL! ).

I dunno I think "Austin" might fit the "Porkamera" as in Austin Powers would "love it baby"

Austin Martin, Aweston Martian, whatever!

Im sure they could have designed a great 928 if they wanted too.

This is a "bastard child" design. Cayenne/911. Same type of thinking for the 968 which was a 928/944 combo ( we all know how that story ended) So...my two questions are...who could be their target market for this thing? And how many units per year they need to sell to call it a success?
