    Looks like ProDrive bought Aston today.

    Ford will make an announcement later today.

    I think this is a marriage made in heaven.

    Didn't someone announce that Loius Vuitton bought AM a month or two ago? Was that a joke?

    You are rigth! Wich source should we thrust??

    In any case, it's much nicer the idea that Prodrive will own the company....maybe they are not so fancy, but they know what is a sports car, specially an Aston.

    As I understand it Ford put Aston up for auction and Vuitton was a serious buyer. However, it seems that Ford wanted to see Aston stay in the hands of people that actually knows something about cars.

    This is great news, but I'll wait until the official announcement before celebrating.
