Aston Martin has revived the Lagonda badge and attached it to a new ‘Super Saloon’ which is being built in limited numbers for the Middle East market. Aston Martin has been threatening to revive the Lagonda badge for a new range of cars for a long time – the most public of which was the […]
Aston Martin in talks with Mercedes to build SUV
It’s reported by Bloomberg that Aston Martin are in serious talks with Mercedes to produce a new Lagonda SUV built on the platform of the next generation Mercedes ML. [nggallery id=322 template=customlinks] The Aston Martin tie-up with Daimler’s AMG to produce new engines for Aston Martin was always likely to be just the tip of […]
Aston Martin still aiming for a Lagonda SUV
Aston Martin boss, Dr Ulrich Bez, has stated the revival of the Lagonda brand is still very much on the cards and an SUV the preferred route. [nggallery id=322 template=customlinks] Aston Martin has never had the easiest of financial journeys, and that’s no different today than it ever was in the David Brown days. Only last […]
Aston Martin Lagonda SUV still moving forward
New reports suggest Aston Martin is still pushing forward with the Lagonda SUV, with underpinnings from the Mercedes GL. Last year we reported the Lagonda SUV was back on (although we’re not sure when it was actually off – just MIA) and that it was Aston Martin’s hope they could raid Mercedes parts bin for […]
Lagonda back on
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 […]
Lagonda SUV – with antimacassar and cushions!

Lagonda working on an S-Class based Concept?
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. And if the rumours are to be believed, […]
Lagonda Concept – not an SUV now!
Aston Martin did take some stick when it showed its Lagonda Concept at Geneva last month. 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 Marque? […]
New Lagonda Concept on the way
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 Aston […]
