GoldenBuy: Aston Martin Seeks Potential Buyers, Toyota Reportedly Interested
http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/11...potential.html
With Lotus doing down the crapper and with it, those rumors of Lexus-powered future Lotus Supercars, this could make for an advantageous marriage for Aston and also potentially broaden Lexus's high-performance range in the future with high-end development shared between two luxury nameplates? maybe? possibly?
do it do it do it do it.....
edit: Also this could give more justification to TMG's development costs as then they wouldn't be just working on 600+hp Lexus's that may or may not be given the green light but also potentially for a future Aston so all that work and expense wouldn't be for naught.

You know what? The last couple years at the Nurburgring races, Lexus (Toyota) has shared garages with Aston Martin. I remember that Akio Toyoda drove an Aston Martin in one of the races while the head of Aston Martin drove the LFA I think it was. The connection is already there. If this comes to be I wouldn't be surprised.

If VW/Audi can buy Porsche, Lamborghini and Bentley and BMW, Rolls Royce, I don't see why Toyota can't buy Aston Martin.

Yes, no brainer ! Imagine this progression, in life, Scion-Toyota-Lexus- Aston Martin. Or to put it another way, want a car better then a Lexus and have alot of money ?, we have Aston Martin for you, sir .
