And the Chinese? I don't think they're ready to own a brand like AM yet. We'll see what happens when/if Geely gets the Volvo deal done though.
The Chinese aren't interested in boutique car manufacturers such as Aston Martin.

Yes, The Tata Group is having its fair share of problems. Their acquisition of Jaguar-Land Rover, and Corus steel were all made at the peak of the market funded with a lot of debt. Tata will continue to have to make cutbacks as sales revenue remain weak and debt servicing and refinancing costs increase.
