I. Nissan released pictures of an all-new compact utility van. Called the NV-200, it’s Nissan’s attempt to get its foot in the door in the worldwide market that covers everything from utilitarian people movers to panel vans. The new Nissan has a load capacity of a half-ton, and almost seven feet of load bay. Apparently [...]
You’ve gotta love Aston Martin. While the rest of the world is pairing down their power plants and ditching heavy-breathing muscle, the company that’s supplied Bond with his wheels for the past few millennia just announced it will show off a V12-powered Vantage at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Rock. The motor is the [...]
Right, so these aren’t actually “pictures” — they’re renderings. Meaning really good looking computer images of what Autocar.co.uk thinks the upcoming Rapide supersaloon will look like. They are claiming the above images were “released” early by Astin Martin. Of course, why would Aston Martin release these two computerized drawings to only Autocar? Right, they wouldn’t. [...]
There isn’t any “new” news here, other than the pretty white paint job. But… DBS! Um, there’s a V12 under the bonnet. And after taxes it’s over $300,000. And it’s fantastically beautiful. And it’s British. And an Aston Martin. And James Bond drives one. And I want one. The end.
Seems like just yesterday reader John R was wondering just what Jay Leno was smoking when he said Ford saved Aston Martin. Looks like an Aston Martin owner discovered what exactly Blue Oval salvation means. It’s well known that FoMoCo swapped and traded parts from the family bin into the high-dollar sports cars, most of [...]
Ah yes, our favorite multi-millionaire car nut is at it again, this time hooning the living life out of the Aston Martin DBS featured in the upcoming Bond flick, Quantum of Solace. The video after the jump is a shade on the boring side up until around 4:00 when Jay starts really getting into that [...]
Actually the problem is that the worlds’ wealthiest are still buying Ferraris. But my (admittedly snarky) point still stands. The cheapest Aston Martin one can buy — the V8 Vantage — will ding your pocket to the tune of $119,000. That’s a bit more than half of what the average American home sells for. Add [...]
To be fair, this particular Aston Martin was destroyed during filming of the newest James Bond flick, Quantum of Solace. Still, we take no solace in the fact that a crazed (obviously) Italian fan ponied up a full $120,000 more than a pristine, running, brand new, non-destroyed DBS costs. That’s right, $350,000 for the above [...]
I’ll let you in on a little secret. Chief Fiend Steve Levy turned down the role of 007 in the next Bond flick, Quantum of Solace. Something about the fast-driving, womanizing, gun-slinging hero hitting too close to home — whatever that means. The newest trailer for the next double-O film serves up plenty of Aston [...]
While Bernie, the Autofiends techie and all around go-to guy for all questions web related knows his shizzle on the internets stuff, he ain’t the best photographer. However, like one whole corner of our luxurious suite here at Overamerica Towers, along with another 100,000 or so nerds and tech-geeks, he chose to take Thursday and [...]
