Is Aston Martin really the coolest brand?
The Aston Martin has been crowned the most desirable product in an influential survey ranking Britain’s “coolest” brands.
I love Astons. Always wanted one. Especially the DB5, but sadly way beyond my range :O(
what in your opinion is a cool brand and why ?.
The 100 year-old car brand, James Bond's vehicle of choice, eclipsed Apple's iPhone in the survey released by the CoolBrands council.
The two brands have dominated the top two places over the past few years, suggesting they are the products that most Britons secretly wish to own.
"Aston Martin combines three key elements – power, beauty and soul,” said Stephen Cheliotis, the chairman of the CoolBrands Council, which compiled the survey.
“Its sleek, polished and sexy cars ensure the brand continues to dominate the list of the nation’s coolest brands, as judged by experts and consumers alike.”
The brands are chosen by a combination of 2,000 consumers in a survey and by a panel of 35 designers, style magazine editors and website executives.
i prefer nissan GTR.........
rest every car works at its peek....
but GTR has still more to go....
just a 3.5 liter twin turbo v6 engine.
more than 530bhp. (limited by company.)
buggati is w16 8 liter. 1001 bhp
its true that it as more power.
also more weight....
it only runs 12 min at its 253mph speed.
and require 1 liter of petrol to run half km.
what we need is less weight and more power...
the ultimate...
F1 cars....
just 3.5 or 4 liter engine produce over 1000bhp
and weight is between 650- 850kg.
come on...
wake up....
dont go behind a brand...
dont go behind the cost...
I need to put on atleast 50 pounds before I start thinking about buying one :o(
I have the same problem. can sit astride a Harley, but feet don't touch ground :O(
lol brit, my "physique" doesn't match with a Harley but someday......
can't really picture you riding a hog wearing armani :O)
Harley would be my pick for the coolest brand and maybe Armani.
Come on people.. We're talking brands here..
For instance, are you into Burberry ? If so, why ?
Wow, wonderful FS. I wish it's mine.
Porsche......
Black or Red Shiny Sports Car (convertible) .......reason speed and sexy look
.....yeah Aston Martin deserves the 1st place.....i love 'em specially DBS and the new 'one-77'......and now the Porcshe Panamera's rival, Aston Martin Rapide (4door super saloon), is here too ;o).....
jpa is this yours?
Amazing looks. Great brand name..
I remember seeing the ype 41 Royale... Blew my mind..
i dunno about the engine...power etc.. ..but from the looks ...buggati looks more appealing to me:)
Its got to be the Vanquish for me, pure class!
I agree with you FS, but mine has polka dots design.
Buggati .....Why ??
brit's pink Kia was awesome..:)
Kia alto for me, special edition.
Tata the best!
FS,i'd rather take the aston instead!
hmmm, yes I would go for AM as Britain's coolest brand. Britexpat, I remember the Bitter Cars, they were based on Opel parts weren't they. I has a DeTomaso Pantera back in the old day's it was pretty cool as well.
you dont like this??
Chalk and cheese Lambi and AM
I nearly bought a Bitter Coupe once.. have you heard of them ?
It's because of the small numbers built and sold, brit.
For some reason, aston Martin seems more exclusive or rather elusive. Is it because of the Bond connection, or because they always have been known for bespoke vehicles ?
be a Ferrari for me! :0)
not as gud as a lambo :)
Britexpat, i agree with you.I simply love the car.My favourite one is the DBS though,just like the one in Casino Royale!
