I saw this too, but i think i've ranted enough about downsizing already

2.5l I6 Turbo for a "junior" Aston Martin could be interesting though.*

*as long as it stays just for the junior ones lol

They've already made a "Junior" Aston.....

Tight timings? What are you going on about now?

The fact that there are still hundreds of thousands of pushrod engines produced each year, along with massive demand for them, indicates that it's not outdated, yet, too. Old, yes, but not outdated.

Remove the question marks.... I fear he'll attempt to answer them!

This much is obvious. But your original point was:

I suppose it's an affection thing, in the same way that people still enjoy flying Spitfires or will choose mechanical watches over quartz.

Yeah like those who continue to use the XBOX 360 when the PS3 is miles better.

Rypt, what do you do?
