Jake,

I've always wanted an Aston Martin, but not enough to lower my standards to this. It's very surprising to me to see an established luxury brand like Aston taking this type of move, although ITTET I suppose house-priced cars aren't really flying off the shelves, so to speak. Still a long stretch though. Incidentally, that's about the retail value of TWO Smart cars, both with Redlines and bike racks included. Ouch. Wow.
