    Who should buy Aston Martin?

    Enough talk about the shutdown and scammers. It's time for a good old fashioned poll about car things for car people.

    Aston Martin is deep in the red. Their Cygnet failed miserably. Their owned by Kuwaiti and Italian private equity firms (laugh!).

    They're in trouble and need a buyer. Which marque fits?

            Seems to me like that selection minus the first all fall under the last one anyways. I'd like to say BMW, but man, lately they're acting like a bunch of assbags.

                        Ford duh.

                        They already make cars that look the same. Fits pretty well.

                            Ford owned them until 2007.

                              BMW: They already own Mini. Keep it way from Tata at all costs.
