Nope, not interested. But I would love to see BMW buy out Aston Martin completely and use their new twin turbo engine V8 in all of the Aston Martin lineup. That would be Crazy if it actually happen.

Seriously, Toyota should consider buying the Aston Martin brand completely and use their V10 in the Lexus LF-A for the top of the line Aston Martin lineup. And the give the Aston Martin V8 Vantage the V8 from the Lexus IS-F but give it more horsepower, torques and make it lighter as well.

Can't a guy day dream on a Friday afternoon? ; ) LOL

Looks like De Tomaso is still styled to appeal to the 80's poseur. That car has 1988 written all over it.
