This is pretty great overall. Aston was basically heading towards insolvency/bankruptcy.
I don't love the idea of a hybrid V6, but it's better than nothing I guess?

Its looking more and more that you might be right. Just did a more in-depth article on what is going on at Aston Martin and its not particularly pretty. They have major issues still with the Valkyrie, Valhalla is still a dream, and DBX not really looking like it will be the savior.

The saddest part about all this is that they pulled in Tobias Moers. He single handedly transformed AMG cars from straight line luxury barges to serious sports cars. I know he was upset at Mercedes for downsizing engines, going hybrid, and EV, but I don't see any automaker having a choice. Really wish he stayed and adapted.
Reality is AMG / Mercedes doesn't have a choice on the engine downsizing. The irony is he will still have to use the downsize engines he was upset about at Aston (if he stays).
I don't think that was Tobias. C450 AMG Sport came out in 2015 shortly after Ola Källenius gave up the reigns to Tobias. And the whole Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG, Mercedes-Maybach rebranding was under Ola as CEO of MB.
Looked up Ola on wiki and found this gem:
Quote:
His wife is a green influencer (part of the Green Globe Organisation) and is pushing the plug-in hybrid and wants him to make the entire Mercedes-Benz range, including the flagship G-Wagon, fully electric.
No Valkyrie thread so I’ll post this here. Track only version sounds awesome.

Sounds incredible, engine must not be built by amg
Holy Hannah that sounds incredible.
It is not looking good for Aston Martin:

even with the latest cash raise, they will likely run out of money again in 12-18 months.
Shame.
But they deserve it for thinking the DBX was a good idea.
