    Aston Martin May Have Killed SUV Plans

      The Lagonda SUV May Have Been Canned

    Every luxury automaker it seems has gone mad for SUVs. Companies like Lamborghini, Bentley, and even Rolls-Royce are hard at work on a SUV. But it seems that one has possibly gone back on their plans.

    Back in 2009, Aston Martin showed off the Lagonda SUV concept. Reactions to the concept were mixed to say in the least. But former CEO Dr. Ulrich Bez said the company was considering go ahead with the project. Now Aston Martin's Director of Design, Marek Reichman hints that SUV may have been axed.

    “We first showed the Lagonda SUV concept back in 2009. We still have plans for the brand. There might be some surprises in the marque’s re-establishment into the market place, but as a very unique coachbuilt experience. And that’s probably what’s most befitting of the brand,” said Reichman to Piston Heads.

    “It’s more. It’s the reinvention of the marque, the brand, but done in a very, very limited way. It’s not something we believe that is a mass product.”

    What are these plans? A possible one is an exclusive four-door sedan. Earlier this year, spy shots captured a distinctive four-door sedan undergoing testing by Aston Martin. The speculation is that sedan will be a Lagonda.

    Doesn't make sense to me. The concept is usually notably better looking than the production version, but this concept was awfully ungainly. A-M didn't seem able to decide if they wanted an SUV or just a bloated sedan- I cannot remember another notchback 4-dr SUV.

    • Their situation has improved.  Twenty years ago, it was bad like Venezuela is today. I have a friend who is married to a woman from here.  I bet he regrets it because he also "married" her very large overbearing Colombian family with very poor boundaries. 
    • A very unique car ... best in white.  What could be a (Grand) Le Mans BUT with a funky front end, vaned triangular "opera" window, and the squashed down rear trunk.  Thankfully, the great dashboard is the one shared with the GP.  (Located in soulless Chicagoland suburbs that go on forever.) We had a neighborhood family with this car in white.  They were never friendly to us.  I don't think they liked foreigners (like my parents).  They were transplants from Iowa ... the dad was a blue collar guy and the mom was the customer service desk lady at a nearby supermarket.  I'd laugh ... the kids in our family have more than one sheepskin to their names and look and act Americanized.  How about their kids?  Maybe some token community college courses.  I would never bring up this sort of stuff except that they were borderline white trash a-holes.  They were the only people I knew with a first-gen Grand Am. Condolences on the loss of this good friend ... he was taken from us way too soon.  He was apparently a brilliant and impressive individual.

    • WOW, We all have to live within a budget of what we earn and can afford to spend, I just do not get why it is so hard for Idiot47 and his lemming to be so stupid that they cannot seem to understand this basic idea. ‘The nation’s finances have deteriorated’ since Trump took office, CRFB says, gaming out the scenarios up to a $28.5 trillion deficit As such, I now have to question the long term viability of living in this country or even making any large purchases which could very well cause auto companies to go bankrupt as people choose to not buy their second largest purchase behind a home. First biggest purchase for young people as most cannot afford to buy a home. So Sad.
