Aston Martin: Lagonda will compete with S-Class

Everyone including us was a little bit confused earlier on when Aston Martin sets out to revive Lagonda, a historical luxury brand. With the Aston Martin Rapide making its way into showrooms as early as 2010; we're wondering if that smells too much like self cannibalization of products. Now AM had come forward and clarified, that Lagonda will leave the upper end of four door saloons alone and will go against the likes of the 7 Series, S-Class and Audi A8. Let's wait eagerly and see if the market is ready for another luxury car when the likes of S-Class and 7 Series were suffering a downturn in sales. Moreover, I'd prefer to drive a 5 Series or CLS than sitting at the back in some bloated limousine.
