Ford Sells Aston Martin
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070312/ap_on_bi_ge/ford_aston_martin
But it looks like the guy who will be effectively in control is from Prodrive.

Sorry to see it. Hope that Jaguar is not next on the block.

I think its great news... I would venture to guess that the Prodrive F1 entry will be running under the Aston Martin marque next year.

Ford's whole luxury car group experiment has been rather disappointing, financially speaking. Especially considering the huge sums they've invested, especially in Jaguar. I think Jag is the next logical candidate to sell. I think Land Rover is doing well enough to keep.

I would expect Fords to sell Jaguar, Land Rover, etc... soon. Of course if they do, what will the Ford execs drive?
