Report: Chinese demand could prompt Aston Martin to press on with Lagonda revival 1337382060
Automakers are usually pretty decisive. They either build a car or they don't. But Aston Martin has embarked down a bumpier road with Lagonda.

It's been five years since Aston Martin shifted production to its new facility in Gaydon, Warwickshire, but after years of operating at Newport Pagnell, it could never shake the legacy of its historic home.

Report: Aston Martin to offer Ultimate Edition before replacing the DBS 1335568800
In the earlier part of the last decade, the king of the Aston Martin hill was a model called the Vanquish. More muscular than the DB7 it superseded, the Vanquish was offered first with a 450-horsepower V12, and then as the Vanquish S with 514 hp on tap. The flagship model from Newport Pagnell was replaced in 2007 by the DBS, but before it went the way of ...

Private showing gives us a closer look at the Aston Martin V12 Zagato 1334955360
We last saw the Aston Martin V12 Zagato on the floor at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
