We meet again, M.Bond.Et this time … I’m sorry, are those your initials embroidered on the headrests?
So we’re introducing another special edition of Aston Martin, a product from the company’s custom Q branch, a fun branch name.Strangely, however, I find myself equally insecure through the arrival of a limited number of 007 Edition Vantages and DBS Superleggeras.
These hundred Vantages and 25 DBS Superleggeras will have 007 embroidery, danger bands to mimic the precautionary labels of rocket thrusters and gear-shift cams on the subject of missile launch buttons.Owners may even have a 007 badge on the edge of the shoe.Open signals to recommend that they are deceptive and intriguing enough to claim that they are in an off-site meeting while playing golf in secret.
I’m not sure the “Bond thing” deserves to be shouted so loudly.We all know that the world’s least secret secret agent drives an Aston Martin, as we know he drinks vodka martinis.And just like outdoors, an elegant party, no adult in general can order a vodka martini without feeling like the most unlikely wazzock, I’m not convinced that a user can order a specific Aston 007 without at least a little similar pain.
But my fear is not with those who buy a 007 Edition Vantage or DBS, Aston only has to locate 125, and they will certainly get the sweet and affectionate ribs they deserve from their spouses and friends to opt for the male son of an Action Man lunchbox.
No, I’m more concerned about those who would like to buy a sports car at a stadium where it’s already hard to decide on one that doesn’t make the owner seem insufferable through the fix and think it’s an arrangement they prefer to avoid..
There are many reasons why other people spend more than a hundred thousand dollars on a Range Rover or Porsche 911, and not all of them are similar to the tangible qualities of those cars, sometimes because they don’t communicate much about their owners.
The new super-GT flagship offers world-class capabilities, driving and power participation.Will it be Aston Vanquish’s good fortune or the third consecutive good fortune of his second century plan?
It’s great to buy a car that suggests you’re pretty good at who you are, that a car that says you’d be someone else, especially if the message you’re ending is yes, you’re a perfectly general corporate general manager, however, if your wife is brutally killed by mobsters, before the end of the day, you’ll turn yourself in to one of your visitor managers at a sufficiently prestigious hotel from which you accumulate loyalty points.Jane, wait for my calls.
Not that Aston is rarely making progress elsewhere.He is more committed to a broad racing program than to the most of his teammates, and the Valkyrie hypercar is a brilliantly bold project.A substantive connection to a dysfunctional film character alongside them is rarely a very bad thing in itself.But when it becomes the fixation it turns out to be, I wonder if the word “Honey, I think I could buy an Aston Martin” raises an eyebrow that says “Really?”more than you think.
I sense that MI6 prefers its agents to be more forgettable and I wonder if it would not harm this arrangement by seeking to be more equal.
