I feel like this has more to do with the DBX than anything.
I seriously worry AML is too late for the Super SUV trend. I think (read: hope) would-be customers aren't so hot on the idea as they were when the Bentayga, Urus etc were dropping.
It seriously worries me that Aston seem to have put so much stock in the DBX that it could undo their whole operation if it doesn't sell. That's really worrying because I'm not very sure it'll be any good.
I mean, in my eyes, all these superbadged SUVs are hunks of absolute **** that I wouldn't drive if you paid me to (ok, everyone has a price) but being so late to the game the DBX would seriously have to outdo all the competition to become the big seller.
I knew this SUV trend would be a net negative.
