Aston Martin has revealed that they are pushing ahead with the relaunch of Lagonda and that there will be a Lagonda SUV. To be honest, we’re not too sure that Lagonda was actually ‘Off’ after a rather disastrous debut at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show with their antimacassar-endowed, cushion-boasting Lagonda SUV Concept. We’d just assumed it. But [...]
Aston Martin has published a new set of pictures of the Lagonda SUV Concept, this time showing a very strange interior complete with soft furnishings. Aston Martin are in the process of attempting to revive the Lagonda marque, and had a bash at the Geneva Motor Show this year with a gargantuan Lagonda SUV based on the [...]
Aston Martin has revealed the V12 Vantage will be sold in America; the Aston Martin Cygnet will go on sale in 2010 and the Rapide should sell 2,000 a year. It’s eight months since Aston Martin announced that they were turning the V8 Vantage in to the car it should always have been – by [...]
Lagonda are preparing a luxury saloon concept based on the Mercedes S Class, which may make an appearance at Frankfurt. Aston Martin are still intent on bringing back the Lagonda, despite the less than universal praise for the big SUV concept they showed at Geneva this year.

I have to confess that we were amongst the vocal majority who just didn’t see what they were trying to achieve. Why would Aston Martin even consider a huge SUV as an appropriate way to revive the Lagonda [...]
[ad#ad-1] It wasn’t exactly unreserved praise and delight that greeted the launch of the Lagonda Concept at the Geneva Motor Show. At best it was surprise, at worst incredulity that Aston Martin could show something so far removed from everything that Lagonda traditionally represents. But it would seem that David Richards, boss of ProDrive and [...]
Probably the biggest surprise of the Geneva Motor Show was the arrival of the Lagonda Concept. Although the revival of the Lagonda Marque had been much speculated upon, particularly with Lagonda celebrating its 100 year car making anniversary this year (an all the marketing opportunities that offers) no one had seen a super-luxo SUV on [...]
Lagonda has a long history. Founded in 1899 and building its first car 10 years later, which makes 2009 Lagonda’s 100th birthday. A fitting time, perhaps, for a revival. Best described as a maker of high-performance luxury cars in the first half of the 20th century, inspired by the involvement in the company of W.O. [...]
