the Aston Martin Valiant

Here's a link to the new to be released Valiant, which used to be a Chrysler named car. I am not sure what AML are trying to do here. Are they just trying to snatch up $1m dollar sales on a limited run car like many of the other manufacturers? They already have The Victor which is not dissimilar and this smacks of some odd developments which I am not sure goes with the grain.
Not to my liking at all, 745ps is great but why not keep the styling we are used to. It seems they are heading down the same path as Ferrari with a myriad of Models all doing similar things and simply watering down the ability to weather depreciation as there is another new model just around the corner. My 2c worth.

The Vulcan model took some time to sell all of the limited number selected, which I think was 24.
Therefore indicating that the market only just accommodated the number for sale.
The Valiant is limited to 38 cars and even before the public reveal "each has already been spoken for", suggesting there was probably demand for more than 38 cars
As Aston Martin are desperate to stop their perpetual outflow of cash, why could they not have aimed for a greater number?
Each additional car becoming increasingly profitable.
Instead of presumably saying to the first potential customer, 'limited to 38', perhaps 'exclusively limited to between 35 and 60' might have worked, then finally confirm the exact number on announcement day.

The look to me is very american mustang. I suppose it could reflect a little of the Persuaders Roger Moore Vantage v8 of the 60's however in this year of aero and tech and design I am sure they could do better. The grill has no resemblance to Aston Martin legacy if it didn't have a badge you would swear it was a GM or Ford Beast.

Similar to latest model Mustang, both kind of a mess. Ford really screwed up the design for 2024.
