Reply #19: Not a shock. Ford owned AM until 2007.

But yeah, my first thought was "It's a DB9" too. I suspect that Fords designers were influenced by Aston Martin's designers back when they were one company (and, fwiw, Ford still owns a huge chunk of AM today). Luckily for them, most Americans aren't that familiar with Aston Martin, and won't see the similarity.

Jeremy Clarkson is going to have a field day with it though. "Ford shows it's vision of the future...by copying the British!"
