The last thing they need is Mercedes, Aston is not a Benz, Its not German, Aston is one of what 4-5 True British Companys left, Aston should feel like an Aston, Not a Benz, They should not do anything with Mercedes, If they want to Co-Design an engine in Partnership with Benz, That would be just OK, Other then that Leave them alone.

Looks good, feels great.
But Aston is changing in to some retro production company like a Morgan.
They barely evolve since they first Vantage. And we live in times when we have new generation every 3-5 years and a FL every 1-2 years.
They already need some cooperation with Mercedes AMG ASAP
