Mercury Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I just noticed I call the Roadster a Roaster many times. So, heres a new one.

cornerstone Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 There's a reason for the Aston Cygnet, and why only existing owners can buy one. The Cygnet helps the Aston Martin meet emissions targets for the entire brand so they don't have to neuter the engines in their main sports cars; that's the only purpose of it. The Cygnet is bad so the other cars can remain good. Obviously they want to limit the brand damage, which is why they're only being sold to 'real' Aston Martin owners.

Mercury Posted December 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Ok, can you prove that? IF so, I can use it or if you want to get published then you can use it.Oh and by prove I mean sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 It's no scoop - just Google the European auto press for background information on it. Or look at the 2012 EU Carbon Emissions standards and compare with the emissions from the existing range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mike Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Great articles Merc! A couple of notes. On the Focus RS, it is about $38,000 and would cost US consumers $42-$50K if Ford brought it State side, hence why they did not because no one is going to spend that on a Focus. It is a sweet ride though, have tested a few of them. Also the 2011 5.0 liter Mustang has been tested on the track. Ford is just not giving any numbers because performance has not be finallized. I have personally had it out on the track. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Mike Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 It is one hell of a ride and I was excited when Ford looked into bringing them over here, but the numbers did not work out. The car was going pushing into $40K+ territory by the time it got into the hands of the consumers, so the plan was scrapped. Same reason Ford has not brought over some of the smaller engines from Europe that get great fuel economy. I have insider information.

Mercury Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 You do huh? Like... Also, I hope with Fords new One plan we will at least get the Euro Focus, maybe not the RS or ST, but at least the base. New article, news is very slow today. ] http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-32892-Akron-Sports-Car-Examiner~y2010m1d3-Audi-has-best-residual-value-according-to-ALG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
