I have the feeling that the class an styling of the Aston martin's are going to go straight down the tubes. which is VERY unfortunate, reason being is that I think the vanquish and DB9, are BY FAR the sexiest, and classest cars out there.

I love the styling of them!

thats the first thing I thought of. He is probably a big fan might just let the execs continue to run the company.

LV isn't just a clothing designer, they're a fashion designer and ultra-lux cars like Aston Martins are just as much fashion statements as performance vehicles. Aston Martin particularly appeals more to the style conscious than the performance minded. For the same money and Aston owner could have bought a porsche, ferrari or Lambo, but instead they chose a vehicle that is more about comfort and class but is also a capable performer, just not as raw.

Hope he doesn't put the LV treatment to the interiors. That would be cheesy!
Hmmm.... could have a new model name. DB9-LV?

According to Motor Trend (http://blogs.motortrend.com/6200377/car-news/about-that-rumor-aston-martin-may-be-sold-but-not-to-lvmh/index.html) Louis Vuitton buying Aston Martin is a rumor and not correct.

Its already happend and its Retarded but you know how those rappers are they will do anything. my guess is the owner bought them just to buy them. just to spend some money.

The Chrysler PT Cruiser Louis Vuitton Edition celebrates the fifth anniversary of the Louis Vuitton Classic at Rockefeller Center. The concept's signature checkerboard pattern, with its distinctive "LV" logo, subtly applied to the aquamarine metallic paint, 16-inch chrome wheels, a chrome exhaust tip and a Louis Vuitton Classic 2000 sun shade visually set this PT Cruiser apart.

The interior features exclusive Louis Vuitton "LV" fabric inserts on the doors and seats. Saddle leather accents the door pull handles and steering-wheel. The PT Cruiser's spacious cargo area is fitted with tailor-made Louis Vuitton luggage.

"The Chrysler PT Cruiser Louis Vuitton Edition embodies the attributes valued by both companies: quality and style, tradition and innovation, functionality and creativity," said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President Design for DaimlerChrysler Corporation.
