What was Aston Martin thinking at NAIAS 2k7

I still don't get it. It's been weeks, and I still have no idea what in the world went through Aston Martin's mind for in Detroit.
Before I start blabbing about ... here's a visual of Aston Martin's stand.
It's all there, fellas. Two cars, a poster and a glass wall so no one gets close. Ooookey. Don't get me wrong, the cars looked great, but it was a bit ... uuh ... simple? When asked about it, the AM guy just said it was a piece of art, and the sand couldn't be walked on. Great.
I'm honestly at loss for words here ... who the hell brings 50% of their line-up at the biggest show in north america? Isn't Ford trying to sell AM? Oh ... I get it now.

So dear Julian you're an automotive journalist now?

Nice blog and impressive pictures.

Not really sure I'm an automotive journalist just yet.
The day I get an email from Porsche saying "hello, we have a dozen 997 GT2s in Vegas waiting for you, your flight is booked, see you soon, champagne is chilly, enjoy your flight, we opened a 100,000$ credit at the casino under your presidential suite.", then yes, I will consider myself a real journalist! Until then, I'll keep covering all the shows I can ... it's pretty fun, I must say.
I've been too busy to make a decent post lately ... gotta work on that!

Cheers
