  | Aston Martin to move upmarket, next DB9 and Vantage will be more exclusive While Aston Martin is concentrating on the relaunch of its Lagonda brand, the premium sports car maker is considering a strategic change for its next-generation of sports cars. According to AutoWeek, the DB9 and V8 Vantage models may move upmarket with a higher price tag and lower production volumes. Basically, Aston Martin wants to charge more for its cars and wants to be more exclusive. It’s testing the market with the new $1.75 million One-77 of which only 77 units will be made. If Aston Martin is basing its decision on how well the One-77 does, we can expect the next round of Aston’s to carry a higher price point since all units of the One-77 have been accounted for. The Aston Martin DB9 and V8 Vantage replacements are currently in concept stage and are expected to be launched in 2011. |

| Re: Aston Martin to move upmarket, next DB9 and Vantage will be more exclusive so I guess the AMG engines are only going to pull in around 2010 when the new DB9 & Vantage debut?

| Re: Aston Martin to move upmarket, next DB9 and Vantage will be more exclusive I didn't follow the story with the One-77... V12, 7.3L, more than 700hp... is it the Mercedes V12 of the Zonda?
