Wait, it's not confirmed that it's not coming Stateside, right? Unless I misread the press release, they just said available in select markets now, but never said it won't ever be available anywhere else.

(Staying hopeful.)

Ouch.

The car will definitely not be coming to the U.S. or Canada," wrote Matthew Clarke, Aston Martin's U.S. spokesman, in response to an Inside Line query.
That's rough.

Alrighty then. Thanks for the heads up!

Trust me, it's no great enlightenment. I have been close to this since before I ordered my coupe. I'm hoping for a last minute change of disposition. My V12V is the first coupe that I have owned in 15 years. Here's hoping, remember they were not brining the coupe here either at first.

Indeed, this is true. I hope so, as well. It's really a shame to exclude such a large market, and I only want the best of success for Aston Martin (as a fan, myself).

It was something to do with the crash testing etc.

I imagine it was a laborious and expensive process too. I suppose that's why they made the production numbers so low as a result. You'd need to get your head checked to exclude to the US by choice.

It is, indeed, unfortunately the reason. Though, not necessarily the reason for low production numbers. It would make sense to have higher production numbers (if expected sales #'s supported it) in order to recover the cost of EPA/DOT compliance. It's always unfortunate that we either get things so much later than Europe, or never at all. :\
